glory

Something I heard today was really interesting. In today's homily, I heard about glory in Christ's context: Glory is not in riches, nor in popularity. Glory is in trying to love. A man works double jobs because he loves his family and he loves his students = that is glory. A team supporting its rival because what matters is to inspire - that is glory. A losing captain accepting defeat and still playing to provide for her family - that is glory. 

A very interesting way to define glory in Christ's terms.

And as an assignment, we were asked to cite an example of glory. That leads me to the heartbreaking Mr. Sunshine that I just finished watching.

There is glory in fighting for one's country because you love it, even in the face of defeat.

There is glory in supporting someone you love, even if it means giving up your life.

And there is glory in fighting on, for the people and country that you love, even when they are already gone.

And there is glory in moving on to honor those who have long been gone because you respect and loved them.

There is always glory in trying to love.
