A Helping Hand — UFFT #27

I love today’s Gospel reading. For those of you who don’t know or can’t remember (it’s ok, sometimes we forget!) the reading comes from Matthew 14: 22-33. It’s the story of Jesus walking on water and Peter’s not-so-successful attempt to follow in Christ’s footsteps, literally.

Today I was helping out at a retreat at my Church playing music, and during the opening prayer, we all took some time to meditate on that passage from Matthew. I love doing this sort of group activity because the Gospels are so full of incredible lessons that when people share what they discovered, more often than not they have a wide variety of different answers. That being said, I thought that today’s article would be a bit different; rather than me prompting you by giving some food for thought, I’m going to prompt you by sharing what I discovered.
