Something to Contemplate
Note: This week’s devotions have been designed to help us journey deeper; the thoughts, insights and prayers come from various pens of writers who influence my spiritual awareness. Hope you enjoy!
Some words on poverty from Henri Nouwen
The Road To Daybreak (1988)
“Poverty takes many forms. Whether rich or poor we all experience poverty. .. It is so easy to be swept off one’s own feet by the glitter of the world, seduced by its apparent splendor. Yet, the only place to be authentic is the place of poverty, the place where there is loneliness, anger, confusion, depression and pain.”
BK thought: Next week, we metro Indy folk will be swept off our feet as we host the Super Bowl. Lots of glitter will be apparent. Each person who visits our town possesses a spirit just like ours – longing to be peaceful in the midst of brokenness.
