What Is Valuable And What Is Not?

Cleaning up in my room at home, I came across this from Joan Chittister, which is as fresh and applicable as the first time I read it years ago:

“Life is very short.  To get the most out of it, we must begin to attend to its spiritual dimensions without which life is only half lived.  Holiness is in the Now but we go through lie only half conscious of it, asleep or intent on being someplace other than where we are.  We need to open our eyes and see things as they exist around us. What is valuable and what is not, what enriches and what does not, what is of God and what is not.”

Amen.
