Spiritual Growth

For your consideration…..

We were born with perfect spirit. But life has a way of chipping away at it. So our spirit needs nourishment just as our bodies do. Properly nourished, our spirit can grow and expand. We inherently know that. So how do we nourish our spirit? What nourishes it? More and more people seem to be asking this question. It is though we are all waking up.

Many people were taught as children that church was were you went for spiritual nourishment. For sure that is one way and many people feel nourished and renewed after attending church. Still others leave church feeling unfulfilled. Some people are changing churches they have belonged to for years in search of more fulfilling messages and answers.

And that is ok. Because the real you recognizes your needs. You are in charge of your spiritual growth. You feel the messages that are right for you. Most likely you find many things that affect your spiritual growth albeit churches, people, books, art etc. What is put in front of you on your path is there for a reason. It is up to you to notice and bring in your spiritual truth.

Whatever and wherever there is intent for light and love there is opportunity for spiritual growth. Stay open and observant with all of your senses. You are the giver and the receiver. Remember that. That is the HOPE.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, hope by hope action steps anyone can do…..

-Meditate

-Get outdoors for at least a few minutes. Take in 10 deep breaths.

-Notice the nature around you.

-Do you have a book that speaks to you? Read it. Do you have a church you always wanted to try? Try it.

What made me smile yesterday……

-Well for starters, I slept until 11:00. I watched an old 2 part western that kept me up to 4:45 am so that is how I managed to sleep so late.

-I got so much done in so little time.

-I touched base with friends and family. Isn’t that what Sunday is about? Catching up and touching bases with those we love?

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
