Life of drudgery or joy

"There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle."

~ Albert Einstein

I believe there is ultimately one way to live our lives, and that is for God. But in the temporal human experience, many people often miss the joys of spiritual life along the way, and life becomes lackluster, dull and boring. This ought not to be.

Life, lived well, is a tremendously rich and full experience overflowing with awe-inspiring opportunity and possibility for increased improvement and spiritual growth.

To live the spiritual life God has given us to reflect, is to keep one’s eyes and ears wide open to the goodness of God happening all around. It’s a matter of perspective.

The dull uninspired thought is blind to God’s good at hand. The eager, expectant and grateful heart rapidly discerns the good, seizes upon it and ventures for more. Life becomes a miracle, rather than a holding pattern.

Evan: This was just what I needed to hear today. Thank you! There are so many blessings that appear in our lives every day, that no matter what situation we find ourselves in, God's favor is ever present. Einstein's quote is certainly inspirational and so true!
