Sharing Spiritual Views


This past weekend my husband and I had breakfast with a dear friend of mine and her husband.  She and I became friends what seems like eons ago now.....oh so many years ago in high school.  We lost touch most of the years after high school, but this past year something (God, the Divine, the Universe) reconnected us and it seemed as though we had never lost one another. 

Anyway, I think many of us could agree that having discussions about one's spiritual beliefs and/or religious beliefs can be a dangerous area to tread into if your beliefs are not the same.  I just wanted to share that when we love each other enough, trust each other enough, have compassion for each other, and respect one another those conversations can take place.  Even more fascinating is what we can learn from one another if we are only open to listening.  We still may not agree, but how wonderful to look at something from a different perspective...a different possibility. 

We are spiritual beings, but while we are having this human experience we certainly don't know it all....there is no way for us to be 100% certain that our thinking is right.  Instead, trust in yourself, trust the Divine within you, and be loving and compassionate towards others! 

Hugs to you all today and an open mind to everyone's beliefs.
