Matthew 5: Hitting heavy

There's a lot in chapter five. So, taking it slow. Kelsey's reflection on the beatitudes was a good reminder for me. I have very little to add. All I can say is that they show what God looks for. God looks for the quiet things. He doesn't care about the things that we care about. He doesn't care about time management or good grades or what job we take. He looks to the quiet, small things. He looks to the things we don't talk about. He looks for that five minutes we take to help some. He looks for that desire in us to do the right thing. He looks for the patience to step back and see a way through our conflict. He looks for us to experience our humanity and to be touched by it. He looks for us love each other and to love him.
