Contrasting the spiritual and physical life suggests a dualism I think, we should avoid.
Dear Edda,
Thank you for pointing to a thought that also crossed my mind when I found the quote by Tolstoy (in a collection of aphorisms which he called "Wise Thoughts for Every Day" and considered his "most important single contribution to humanity"). It was the poetic image of a bird flying which I was attracted to and which I consider an excellent metaphor for living a life of faith. He would probably express his thoughts in a different way if he were still alive today...
With love,
Juliana

Two thoughts went through my mind. Firstly that we can use our inner spiritual being to 'fly' with grace through our problems, and secondly, maybe we could 'fly' above the 'problem' and see it for what it really is.

Thought For Today  ‘We live in a culture of suspicion. The opposite of suspicion is trust. Trust is at the heart of things. There is no lasting relationship without it. Where it is weakened, relationships suffer. Where it is lost, relationships are broken, often beyond repair.’ ~Michael Duffy
Trust is at the heart of everything in life. At the moment though, we are suspicious of all institutions including the banks, political parties, church leadership, property developers and so on. For many people they have been hurt and let down. It will take a while to build up such trust again. But it is the only way forward. Without trust we flounder and struggle. In our Gospels everything Jesus did was building up peoples trust. He encouraged them to let go of unhelpful and negative outlooks on life. He helped each person believe that there is always a new way and a better way. But for that to happen, each person must take a step forward and believe that it can happen. It comes down to trust. You must trust yourself first of all before anything can happen.

I copied this from www.2u.ie
The thought was written by James McSweeney.
Let´s trust - just for today!

Thank you for the quote, dear Sparrow!
This one is today´s Gratefulness Word for the day:
The unthankful heart...discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!
Henry Ward Beecher

Something to aspire to maybe......make it an affirmation for each day. It's the intention that counts.

Lovely ladies thank you.
I think this is lovely as children are so blessed in the way they see things.
Seek the wisdom of the ages, but look at the world through the eyes of a child.

You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.

Thank you, Sandra and Sparrow, for two great quotes! There may be collectors of stamps, of coins, of owls (like my mother), of elephants, of I don´t know what --- but maybe collectors of quotes are the most passionate of all!
