   Thank you, Fr. Victor. Re: Mark’s Gospel, 14th Sunday. Your advice in your reflection,
   “Don’t miss seeing God everywhere.” (My poem is an account of some incidents that
   happened at different times but I have had days like that, too 🙂

   Blessed Interruptions

   I was cleaning
   and my son stopped by.
   I was doing laundry
   and the phone rang.
   I was preparing dinner
   and my daughter popped in.

   My son and I talked and talked.
   My friend called long distance
   and we talked and talked.
   My daughter and I talked and talked.

   The vacuum cleaner sat in the hallway.
   The laundry sat in the dryer.
   Dinner was a little later.

   The cleaning will get done
   The laundry will get folded
   We ate a little later – so what?

   Work will always be there,
   but those precious moments
   with loved ones and friends
   cannot be gotten back
   once they’re gone.

   Thank you, God, for the wisdom
   to know what’s important.
