Musing on Treasure for Day 37 ~ spiritual maturity. Surf and turf.
Sally would watch the lobsters saunter past. She tried to warn them, but they'd head straight into the trap ~ everytime.
Lobsters evidently grow a lot. That’s what we learned in today’s reading.
I got hungry.
Thinking about those green shells tossed into hot boiling water (Sorry this post is not for the squeamish) and turning as a Red Hot.
Some days things just go from bad to worse.
My favorite quote of the book so far ~
Spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it. ~ Henri J. M. Nouwen
Our existence is on several planes.
We know people who only skim the surface of emotions and relationships. Then there are those who dive right in and get all sticky.
It’s the same with God and the spiritual realm.
Like emotional and relational depth, if we travel into the spiritual realm without much discipline things can get quite off kilter. Rather quickly.
We have to grow in the right way. Recognize like the lobster, when we are waiting on that new shell to harden up we are vunerable.
The only way to grow the right way is to learn from the right voice.
To be devoted to study, thought, action and prayer to the spiritual power above all spiritual powers.
Disciplined study, thought, action and prayer.
Do I do things for God out of love and discipline?
Really that would take this post in a different direction. And I am reaching 250 words. Short answer ~ if I concentrate on the love of God and how much it is evident in this world (see earlier quote) self is lessened and discipline to God becomes an ever-increasing way of being…
Does Ingles still have lobsters? Or is that just Publix?
