Sorry for not posting for a little while....
I got to participate in another Christ Renews His Parish retreat. Those of us who participated in the last September's retreat got to lead the weekend. We had been told that hosting the weekend is even better than going to one as a participant. I found that hard to believe because I had gotten so much out of the retreat that I participated in last year. But just as we had been promised, putting this weekend on was an incredible, life-changing experience.
There is no better feeling than to hear someone tell you that you had a positive influence on his life. And that's what happened at the end of the retreat. I was just one of many people who helped out, but to be even a small part of something so powerful was exhilarating. This experience really encourages me to seek out more ways to be a positive influence on people -- not just at church, but in my everyday life.
