In today’s Daily Reflection, Rev. Mike encourages us to see life’s joys — from a Sunday roast to special moments with loved ones — not just as biological reactions, but as gifts from God."Life is brimming with joys, the gorgeous aroma of the Sunday roast. That first cuddle with your newborn. The last gasp winner in the biggest game of the season. "And it's tempting to see these things as mere biology. Chemicals firing, senses tingling. But deep down, we know that there's more to these joys. "Some moments just shimmer with light from another world. As though heaven were touching earth."
