We joined friends for church yesterday and the person leading the service made the simple but profound point that an aspect of one’s spiritual journey is to come to define what our “more” is. What do we want “more” of in our lives: time, money, impact, quiet, love, friendship, etc.
She then made the observation Jesus’ teachings point to the truth the most fulfilling type of “more” is what we choose to do for other people and not for ourselves. This kind of more might be helping someone during our day, volunteering at a food bank on the weekend, or making a financial gift supporting a person or an organization. When our more is for others it can become a blessing rather than ill-defined and elusive.
