The Spiritual Life

Here you go–your Tuesday’s food for thought:

“The spiritual life is not a life before, after, or beyond our everyday existence. No, the spiritual life can only be real when it is lived in the midst of the pains and joys of the here and now.”

— Henri Nouwen

Lord, keep us always aware of your presence and the spiritual battles around us, whether life is going great or whether we are struggling through difficulties. Thank you for being with us in all situations.

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
