Nurture the Soul...

One way I nurture my soul is by attending Evening Grace with Sister Darlene, FCJ, and Alice.  This is a time of quiet worship, healing prayer and gospel reflection in The Chapel, Grace Presbyterian Church.  We are always blessed with friendships old and new and the soul-stirring gift of music. blw


Take the time to think about your “inner being;” that which is not of the flesh, but is the very essence of our being—the immortal soul.

Whether we like to think about it or not, our soul, which in turn gives rise to our spirituality, plays an important role, nay, the most important role in our well-being.  Even so, we too often fail to nurture the soul, that it might play its proper role in our life.  Worse still, to the extent that we do think about the soul, we tend to assuage our conscience by shunting such thoughts aside, to a place out of sight and out of mind.  We may be certain, however, that neglect of the soul, in whatever form, is at our own peril.

Begin by putting wasteful thoughts aside with thoughts of God’s abiding love, for where your mind is, therein lies your treasure.  With this new-found heart of love, begin by sharing with others the blessings you’ve been given.  Enriching the lives of others is, in itself, its own reward.

Carol Ann's email: When we enter the state of grace to nourish our soul, it is the best! I love sitting in a church and having the sun stream through the windows, stained glass or plain. Something so peaceful and harmonious...in the Cypress Hills...visited St. Margaret's Anglican church, established in 1908! The restored simplicity was elegant.
