***Happy About Our God***

        Today is the Feast of Saint Thomas, Apostle. I think we are all familiar with the story of doubting Thomas as recorded in John 20. He was not with the other disciples when Jesus came, so they said to him,"We have seen the Lord." But Thomas said to them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, put my finger into the nailmarks, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe." Now, a week later his disciples were again inside, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you." Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe." Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!" What we often overlook is that the Lord knew exactly what Thomas said, even when he was not there. As God, he knows every single thing about every one of us. The fact that there are billions of us now on Earth doesn't make any difference. I am so happy that we have an omnipotent God like that, who can oversee and take total care of us!
