A Taste

Every day we may experience or taste something new and ask, perhaps, "Where have I been..... ", this is yummy, or delightful, or wow.

As adults most of us have experienced spiritual education or religion either by taking steps ourselves or with relatives. Our experiences are many and with different results. Perhaps, like me, your early religious education and encounter was lacking in many areas.

I truly thank God for questioning me and asking me to continue searching to find the environment that works for me.

When my children were growing up they went to church with me and went to Sunday School. That stopped abruptly with experiences and situations. I found I could not be that spiritual guide for a period of time longer than anything I could imagine.

Yet, now as adults I have had wonderfully rich conversations with each of my children. They are making their own decisions, and yet, we are open and truthful with who we are and love each other within the space of honesty. I can imagine no other.

What experiences are you and your children missing? Each day I ask God that question, and when I am quiet I hear Him. The more I listen the happier I am.
