Spiritual Jigsaw Puzzle
As part of my Advent devotions I have been using material sent by The Merton Institute for Contemplative Living
www.mertoninstitute.org. They concluded their daily meditation for yesterday with “Throughout this day, pause, take a breath, and listen with your heart. Name your scattered pieces and intentionally create a jigsaw puzzle of your spirit.”
As it happened I just saw the “Gods Must Be Crazy” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gods_Must_Be_Crazy again and it struck me how scattered our “civilized” lives are and how unified the lives of “uncivilized” people are.
It reminded me of a sermon I heard by Martin Luther King Sr. a number of years ago when he said ..”most people live in a one story house…they never go upstairs to visit the Lord…he said we need to “go up to the second floor more often.”
As we wrap-up 2011..go upstairs and create a unified whole of your spiritual jigsaw puzzle which the Lord has laid out before you, and is waiting for you to complete.
Blessings for the New Year!
