Day 22 - gifts given, received and what is sought for

What was the greatest gift you received in 2012?

Marrying Mr. Husband; our wedding day.

*

 What was the greatest gift you gave?

I can't judge this fully

but being able to invite many to our wedding

was something that brought me great joy.

*

What do you intend to give yourself in 2013?

I find this to be a dangerous question

for as a Christian we know

that it is better to give than receive

and that focusing one's self is a hazardous to one's

spiritual life.

It is something I still have a lot to learn

and if anything the greatest gift

I could give would be to

learn to not do this!

*

This said,

I think one of the best things one can do

'for one self' is to go to a

good monastery to continue

seeking to begin on the endeavour to have

a spiritual life.

To seek growth in Christ and 

to seek out one's salvation is the most 

needed;

to seek the one thing needful.
