Making others feel guilty = religious but not spiritual
Memorizing the Bible = religious but not necessarily spiritual
Truly spiritual things happen when one soul reaches for another. I heard some great examples lately.
1. A lady moved to town. She needed help moving in. She called the church. Volunteers from the church went to help a total stranger.
Spiritual. Holy.
2. A man eats breakfast at a regular spot. He meets a man and learns that he is dying of cancer and has no one. They begin to meet for breakfast every day.
Spiritual. Holy
3. A server at a restaurant is befriended by patrons and invited to church. She comes and brings her husband.
Spiritual. Holy.
4. A co-worker is so touched by the kindness of a person that they ask about their church. Soon the co-workers share both work and church.
Spiritual. Holy.
Someone is out there waiting for you to be normal, caring, friendly and relevant.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
