Another day passed today... did you smile a little too? But did you give a hug?

Another day passed today... did you smile a little too?   But did you give a hug?

     "I love you!"  Did you say to God, did you give thanks for today, for life, for His love and for the sun?  did she get angry or did you react with bad words and nerves? 

  

   *Today, giving a package of food to a sick old woman, she went out to the shed after me crying and shouting: "Father, father, may God give you all the good in the world for the mercies you have done to me!". 

   I say to her: "Grandma, I just applied them and they sent them!"

   And the grandmother cried out with all her heart, making the honest cross and looking to the sky:

   "Then God give these people twice as much as you, father!" 

   Oh my god it felt so great!!!   I felt how grandma's prayer took me straight to God! 

  

   That's it, dear people!   Stop!   Stop what you're doing for five minutes!   Put down your phone, computer, anything that might distract you!   Stop work, stress, quarrel, scandal, indifference, hatred, malice!   Stop and look to Heaven, say a prayer or try to connect with God through pure thoughts!   Search your heart and see if there is still love and affection in it!   Try not to be a robot, at least for ten minutes!   Hug someone, tell someone you love them, smile at everyone around you, even if some people will wonder about it.   Be a miracle worker, be happy!   Where are you running so much?   Why the rush to do it all today!   Tomorrow you will do the same and then your time to smile, to love, to be happy, when will you have it?   Be happy now, because the moment that passed you were not maybe and the one that is coming you have no guarantee that you will get it!   DO NOT BE CLOSED IN YOUR MIND, BE FREE IN LIFE  LIVE THROUGH THE LOVE OF CHRIST!

   I embrace you, dear soul, wherever you are on this earth  and need it!

   Father Ioannis Dantsi.  Hesychast in the Carpathian mountains.
