Life’s
journey starts with knowing oneself well and moves to loving
others. For some it works the other way around.
No matter what one’s faith
or lack of it, we are all searching. Searching for meaning
in our lives and wanting to make a difference. It helps
to have companions who share our beliefs and support our
deepest yearnings.
For some this comes naturally, for
others it comes at a time of transition or crisis. Some
people call these moments grace; I see them as God working
in the world even in difficult times. To grow as a human
being is to more fully reflect the image of God.
Consider the times
and places you have met God. See below for a start. Click on picture to enlarge.
