I was walking towards the office on an early Monday morning when I noticed the moon. The full moon at 7 in the morning! It was beautiful.
I thought about how many people were going around at about the same time totally oblivious of the wondrous sight in the skies above. I also considered the fact that the moon is often there; it just so happens that the brightness of the sun prevents us from seeing the moon.
During this season of Advent, the prevalent theme in the homily tells us that our daily lives are filled with blessings, blessings we often fail to notice, blessings we don't think twice about.
Yes, it is true, there are just so many things we take for granted. We are surrounded with beauty. We are surrounded with love. We really are given so much. Often times we just have to open our eyes and appreciate the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary things around us.
