Mustard Seeds is a collection of short daily inspirations. Written during Matthew's travel from 1994 - 96, these brief reflections show the nature and focus of Kelly's interior life, and are designed to bring that same focus to our interior lives. Rather than allowing our minds to wander wherever the momentary distraction leads us, Kelly encourages us to bring focus to our thoughts and to harness their power to move constantly in the direction of our essential purpose. "The actions of our lives are determined by our last most dominant thought. Send your thoughts down one road and your actions and life will follow. Nothing is surer." January 1 You say to me, "I am only one person." This is true, but look at what other great men and women before you have done in the san of one lifetime: Francis of Assisi; Paul; Thomas Aquinas; Augustine; Teresa of Avila; Edmund Rice; Don Bosco; John Vianney; Dominic; Patrick; and of course, Jesus. Look also at what others are doing around us now: Mother Teresa; John Paul II. They too could have used the excuse, "I am only one person." The difference is they didn't see themselves as one person, but rather as one part of one body. Then committed to the message of Jesus Christ they chose to serve, and to choose to serve is to choose to love. When Jesus said, "The harvest is great, but the laborers are few,"(Mt.10) he wasn't making a statement, he was extending an invitation and that invitation was to you. The harvest is great, the laborers are plentiful. If only you and I would recognize that we are the laborers, God's laborers, the laborers of God sent out into the field, the world, to do our part in gathering the harvest as best we can in our families, through our friendships, and in our workplace.
