As Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake—for they were fishermen. And he said to them, ‘Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.’ Immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him.

Barbara, I loved your reflection, especially the quote from “a wise woman” who said “Life is in the interruptions.” Thanks for that reminder!

Thank you Sister, I get so wrapped up in my own life, I hope I also can view the interruptions as a calling. You are a “wise woman”. Thank you for sharing,
