Today’s Reflection
THE IMPACT of our “spiritual life” … has to do with the spirit in which we approach people and events. That spirit displays itself as much in the moments of frustration as in the moments of inspiration.
As we stew in reactive emotions, we are engaging in “spiritual practice,” however unhelpful, which affects our presence to ourselves and others. The way we live our life is our spiritual practice — no more, no less, nothing but, nothing else.

I’m still connected to God, things seem to be changing, some I’m not so happy about, its something I can change, I need to change to do my part.
Lord empower me to keep on the path that leads to You.
Caregivers, worldly full-fillers of God’s love, may the Lord bless and keep you, may the Lord lift up his countenance on you and give you peace.
