GOSPEL THOUGHTS

*Ordinary Season: Tenth Week : Tuesday*

*Gospel : Mt 10:7-13*

*First Reading : Acts 11:21b-26; 13:1-3*

*Wonderful and Great things which I have received without any Cost*

*1) Without cost I have received Life*

Life is a pure gift from God, received through the parents. We can do lots of good and great things in life. Since life is received without any cost, need to spend it without any cost 

*2) Without cost I have received Intelligence*

All of us are able to reason out. Intelligence is a gift of God. With intelligence we can achieve many things. 

If not full, is it possible for me to use my intelligence at least for few good works without any expectations?

*3) Without cost I have received Heart*

With out heart there is no life, there is no feelings and emotions. Such a heart is a free gift of God

Until our heart functions, be a heart oriented person without any expectations. 

*4) Without cost I have received a beautiful face to smile*

Face is the identity of the person. A smiling face attracts millions. It costs nothing. Smile is a free gift of God. 

Is it so difficult for me to smile? 

*5) Without cost I have received my Tongue*

Tongue one of the wonders of the human body. Received without any cost. 

Have I used this tongue free of cost, for good and great things? 

*6) Without cost I have received Eyes and Ears*

Eyes and Ears are God's wonderful gifts, received without any cost. 

What free service I am doing with my eyes and ears? 

*7) Without Cost I have received the Blood*

Blood is a symbol of life. Free of cost I have received this blood from God. 

Donate blood without any cost. Freely received need to be freely given without any expectations

*8) Without cost I have received my Family*

No one has paid for the family. Parents are the gift of God. Family members are gift of God. Family property is gift of God. Freely received

Life should be like a family which gives everything freely without any cost 

*9) Without cost I have received this Nature*

Nature is a great gift of God. The Sun who gives light, the Air, the beauty of the Nature everything is free. 

My life should be like, light, life saving air and beautiful to create a peaceful atmosphere. All these should be free of cost 

*Think about it*

*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
