Everyday
Every dawn heralds the beginning of a new day. We move into our routine slowly, quickly or somewhere between, depending on the day and our circumstances. The everyday grind draws us into the ordinary actions of daily living.
One foot in front of the other; one step at a time, we navigate the stream of consciousness. Home, work, children, shopping, cooking, cleaning, caring for ourselves and others, commuting, resting, relaxing, entertaining, exercising, connecting, networking, listening, learning, chores and errands…all aspects of everyday.
So too is quiet time; meditation time; prayer time. These precious moments are the easiest to forbear. Yet managing to weave these activities into the thread of everyday pays great benefits. They center us, prepare us, help us to ‘go with the flow’. They can endow the mundane moment with calm, with hope, with meaning. And having this daily centering enables us to better manage the unexpected when it arises.
This week I invite you to put some Spirit time in your everyday .
