Three Words

3 Dec

Simplify. Clarify. Sanctify. I have been thinking about how I can better order my life. These three words come to mind. To simplify how I live. To clarify how I think. To sanctify how I act. These are the first steps to a life of spiritual discipline. I share them with a prayer that we each be renewed by taking them. For it is in simplicity that we discover our center, in clarity that we hear our calling, in offering every act to God that every act becomes a blessing.

The words of Steven Charleston in his book Hope Older Than Fire. Read them again and use them as the backdrop for your own self-examination.

Today is a gift. Treat it gratefully.
