The following inspiration/story came from Father Larry Richards on Relevant Radio:
Imagine yourself on a beach in India. You reach down and pick up one sand grain, and then take that grain and deposit it onto the summit of Mount Everest.
Now imagine transporting not only that sand grain, but every grain of sand on that beach, then every grain from every beach in India and every sand grain in the world, and placing each grain on the top of to Mount Everest.
When you have completed that task, eternity will only have just begun.
We are both body and soul, many days we spend hours entertaining or primping ourselves, and little or no time is spent praying to God or performing works of charity.
Let us remember to spend at least a few minutes each day thanking God, perhaps at least say one decade of the Rosary.
It is good for your soul!
Also, do not forget to pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
Sancta Dei Genetrix, ora pro nobis.
Thanks, for sharing this! I love this analogy.
