The other night I played guitar on our back deck while my oldest and youngest children played basketball in our backyard. My daughter benefited from her big brother’s sage counsel on the game and on life itself. Our middle child was working at his new job at our neighborhood pizzeria. Time is flying by and I work each day to be as present as possible. I am grateful and blessed. One day at a time!
I hope today’s reflection on the pilgrimage of life reminds us to indeed take it one day at a time. Plus an artist whom I admire released a new album for the first time in a while, so I am pleased to share her recent TV performance below. Blessings on your week ahead!
Everyday Pilgrims
I had a new insight about being a pilgrim in everyday life as like being out walking on a trail. This brings pilgrim attitudes of seeking God and responding well to different situations into daily living. Every day is a new journey; it is an openness to the spirit working in ordinary things in everyday life. Life is the great pilgrim challenge, and relationships are both the challenge and the joy.
