Sometimes when I read about the lives of the saints, my mouth just drops open, and I think, "WOW!" I want to love Jesus like that! Wouldn't it be amazing if we could sit alongside the saints at a long banquet table and listen to their personal stories?
Today is All Saints Day. Today is a great day to call upon any one of the saints, and ask them for a little advice. Ask them how you could follow Jesus more closely? Having friends in high places is a very good thing. They have a unique perspective which allows them to see the obstacles standing in your way.
Draw close to the saints. Don't be afraid of holiness. Holiness was their calling, but God is calling you as well. God is calling you to be holy. He wants you at the banquet table, too, but not just as an observer, but someone who has their own faith story to tell as well. God has set the table and has prepared the banquet. Don't make the mistake of being too late for dinner.
