St. Patrick’s Church Supper, 31 Main Note from Fr. Bill: Street, Stanley, Saturday, August 18 3:30 The following is for your reflection. I found - 6 pm it in a book used in my Sabbatical program Great Home Cooking ! Turkey or ham, by Wilkie Au entitled, The Enduring Heart, Spirituality For The Long Haul . Addressing a group of high-powered, “What are the ‘big rocks’ in your life? A overachieving business students, a time- project that you want to accomplish? Time management expert said, “okay, time for a with your loved ones? Your faith, your quiz”. education, your finances? A cause? Teaching or mentoring others? Remember Then he produced about a dozen fist- to put these big rocks in first or you’ll never sized rocks and carefully placed them, one get them in at all.” at a time, into a jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar full?” Everyone in the class said “Yes” Then he said, “Really?” He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. Then he dumped some gravel in and shook the jar causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the rocks. Then he asked the group once more, “Is the jar full?” By this time, the class was onto him. “Probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!” he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked, “Is the jar full?” “No!” the class shouted. Once again he said, “Good!” Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked up at the class and asked, “What is the point of this illustration?” One eager beaver raised his hand and said, ‘The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit some more things into it!” “No,” the speaker replied, “That’s not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is: If you don’t put the big rocks in first, you’ll never get them in at all.
