This may sound a bit strange, but I really enjoy vacuuming. I find it relaxing and…productive at the same time. Have you ever tried stretching the cord a bit too far while vacuuming? You know the feeling; the cord is beginning to feel a bit tense, but you somehow think it can stretch a bit further. All of a sudden the power is gone. Frustrating! Now you have to stop what you were doing to plug in.
Life in general, and faith can be that way. The further we strive to stretch ourselves, the more tense things become. Before long, we become unplugged and frustrated. Isn’t it funny how tempered we can become toward the cord and plug? Sometimes we forget that we’re ultimately responsible, don’t we?\
Perhaps you feel disconnected in some way – with God, the Church, your family or friends. Have you considered the difference you would feel if only you would plug in again? This is a call to reflect on where you are with the Lord and the commitment that you have made to Him and the Church. Just do it – get plugged in!
