My husband has often expressed concern that I stack my life up with too many activities. I reflect often on his concern and have tried to find balance between the practical life - family and work - and the spiritual life - prayer and service.
Prayer and spiritual growth help me find balance. But even spiritual pursuits can cause imbalance if we are not ever-vigilant. In recent years, having journeyed through the loss of my mother and mother-in-law (and others), and most recently the loss of my first born son, I continue to reflect on this challenge.
Through-out our journeys, prayer not only sustains us, but it challenges us to examine where we need to improve living our faith by loving those around us.
