DELAY IS NOT DENIAL!


Once upon a time in a vibrant village nestled in the heart of a lush valley, there lived a young dreamer named Aria. Aria had a burning passion for painting, and she spent countless hours in her little studio, lost in the world of colors and canvases.
One day, an opportunity arose for Aria to showcase her artwork in the upcoming annual art exhibition in the neighboring city. Excited about the possibility of sharing her passion with a wider audience, she poured her heart and soul into creating a masterpiece that she believed would be her ticket to success.
As the days turned into weeks, Aria anxiously awaited for the response from the exhibition committee. But as the deadline approached, she received a letter of regret, informing her that her artwork had not been selected for the event.
Devastated and disheartened, Aria felt like all her hard work had been in vain. Doubt crept into her mind, and she began to question her talent and her dreams. However, in the midst of her despair, an old lady from the village approached Aria with a knowing smile.
"Delay is not denial, my dear," the old lady said with a glint in her eyes. "Your time will come. Keep painting and never lose faith in your art."
Inspired by the old lady's words, Aria decided to channel her disappointment into motivation. She continued to paint with even more determination, using her setbacks as fuel to ignite her passion further. Days turned into months, and months turned into years, but Aria never lost sight of her dream.
One sunny morning, a renowned art curator stumbled upon Aria's paintings in a local art festival. Mesmerized by the vibrancy and depth of her work, the curator approached Aria with an offer to feature her paintings in a prestigious gallery in the heart of the city.
Overwhelmed with joy and disbelief, Aria realized that the old lady's wisdom had come true. The delay in her success was not a denial of her talent but merely a detour on her journey to achieving greatness.
As Aria's paintings adorned the walls of the gallery, people from near and far marveled at the beauty and emotion captured in her art. Aria's story spread like wildfire, inspiring countless aspiring artists to persevere in the face of rejection and to hold onto their belief that delay is not denial.
In the end, Aria's journey became a testament to the power of resilience and unwavering faith in one's dreams. She proved that setbacks and disappointments are just temporary roadblocks, and they can never extinguish the flame of determination that burns within a true artist's heart.
From that day on, Aria's paintings became a symbol of hope and perseverance, reminding everyone who viewed them that delay is not denial. It is merely a gentle nudge from destiny, urging us to keep forging ahead on the path to greatness.
FICTION!!!!
In many aspects of life, delays are common. Whether it's waiting for an opportunity, a decision, or a desired outcome, the waiting process can be challenging. During these times, it's easy to feel discouraged and question whether the delay is a sign of something that will never come to pass. "Delay is not denial" reminds us that setbacks and waiting periods do not equate to permanent rejection.

"...SAY, 'SPEAK, LORD, FOR YOUR SERVANT HEARS'" (1 Sam 3:9)

⏰Wednesday of the First Week in Ordinary Time Year 2 (10 January 2023)

πŸ“–1 Sam 3:1-10, 19-20; Ps 40:2 and 5, 7-8a, 8b-9, 10 (R.v.8a, 9a); Mark 1:29-39

🎀"...SAY, 'SPEAK, LORD, FOR YOUR SERVANT HEARS'" (1 Sam 3:9)

Prov 22:6 says, "Teach the child the way he should go, and he will not stray from it even when he is old." The truth is that many of us are what we are today because our parents started on time to show us the way that leads to life.

Hannah took the boy Samuel and placed him in the Temple so that he would grow and serve the Lord as she had promised (cf. 1 Sam 1:11). In that process, the priest taught him how to listen to the voice of God.

How many of our parents and guardians still take their children and wards with them when going to the Church or for some spiritual programs? When you leave your house early in the morning for Morning Mass, do you take them with you or hide under the excuse that they are preparing for school?

There will always be something to prepare for; now, it is school, and tomorrow, it will be work. Hence, they may grow without the same value you have for God.

Teach your child to have a space for God no matter the busy schedule, and you will be sure it will be a harvest of divine interventions whenever life becomes difficult (see Mark 1:30-34).

May God intervene in all your difficulties, touch his healing hands upon the sick once more, and grant you peace in your home. Amen.

It is well with you.
