Faithful Provider

A quote from Catherine McAuley:

The Lord and master of our house is a faithful provider.

Sometimes we do not give our Lord enough credit for providing for us. We think of him as trying to keep us austere instead of lush and richly blessed. That is why the Advent readings are so important to us now. They consistently tell of our desert, our parchness and how the lord wants to smooth the way, take down the mountains and bring our deserts into bloom. Today I plan to reflect upon the desert areas in my life and the things of which I make into mountains and let the Lord smooth them out-in his time, not mine.

What deserts and mountains do you have in your life?
