At one point, my godchild sitting next to me whispered to me "I don't think as human beings, we can be totally detached from the world, only priests and nuns can, as it is easier as you live apart from the world" <br /><br />I didn't have time to explain to her. For I believe that all of us have the same opportunities to be set aside, and live holy lives, only if we are prayerful, and live in discernment. This takes time and conscious effort. Like Jesus did, we should go aside from the crowd and spend time with our Father.<br /><br />Indeed, this creation of God is very good, and we should take care of it so that every human alive should have fair share. We should also include treating our fellow human beings as God's creations, especially the poor, widows, single parents, and the down trodden.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853204965986587589.post-69875309671206818592010-04-27T18:45:12.242+08:002010-04-27T18:45:12.242+08:00I agree that our narrow interpretation of being a ...I agree that our narrow interpretation of being a disciple of Christ has more often than not work to our detriment. Sometimes we hold back from rejoicing full-heartedly in God's largesse ( to ourselves or our neighbours ) for fear that it is 'unspiritual' & is not becoming of a disciple. Yet I'm sure to take delight & enjoyment in the goodness of the earth can be a 'spiritual' experience too ......only problem is how to tell - when one is flaunting & when one is witnessing to His goodness......tessaTessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211998984286520369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853204965986587589.post-47525147424553902032010-04-27T12:33:47.293+08:002010-04-27T12:33:47.293+08:00Thank you for sharing your reflections.

I happened to stumble on your post through a friend's recommendation at our group blog, http://joyheartsharings.posterous.com. so there's value in staying connected! I like the quote if Jesus were present, he'll tell us in today's lingo, "don't even sweat the world." and souls being scarlet while we try to make the earth a greener place. Thought provoking!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10887525007326985181noreply@blogger.com
