Seems like forever ago that the Mighty Gayle and I spent a few months on that island. We were just reflecting yesterday that it was just over a year ago that Sicily first came on our radar. I know we are all different and many people know how to spell the word ‘reflect’ but I genuinely find that hard to do and I think that helps me focus on today and tomorrow (OK you did not need to say it – and learn very little from yesterday).
Gayle picked up the following report this morning:
Italian authorities have seized more than 200 million euros ($232 million) in assets linked to the late mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro’s drug trafficking network, in what anti-mafia prosecutors described Thursday as a blow to the Sicilian Mafia’s attempts to rebuild its financial power.
Maybe our prayers, particularly in Palermo into the mafia, made a small contribution? Prayer is awesome – every prayer a small contribution… and the multiplicity of the small.
On both your trips I have been reminded of One small step for man and one giant step for mankind.As we ( reflect ) we walk out our journeys ,it’s small wins ,but Heaven’s multiplication is not ours and small steps can be for the healing of mankind.
Thanks Elly…
I wonder how often we need to be reminded of the ‘small steps’… and to seek to live it out?
