Daily Devotion - Monday, November 22

Finding Your Quiet Center

Daily I am presented with the task of staying in the quiet center of my life, the place of peace and contentment. The initial struggle to find that place, to name and claim that sacred space is probably the most difficult task that confronts us. The on-going challenge of staying in the quiet center needs continual attentiveness and tweaking. Recently I read the following insight by Alban Goodier, the archbishop emeritus of Bombay, India. Hope this helps you center and enjoy your week, complete with a meaningful Thanksgiving holiday:

“Those who face that which is actually before them,
unburdened by the past,
undistracted by the future,
these are they who live, who make the best use of their lives;
these are those who have found the secret of contentment.”


Good stuff to contemplate. Have a good Monday.
