Looking for God...and finding Him

Last night our small group gathered in our home. We've just started walking together through Adele Calhoun's book Spiritual Disciplines Handbook: Practices That Transform Us. Walking through something as a fellowship versus alone opens up whole new worlds of experience.

Last night we walked as a group through the discipline of Examen. Examen is "a practice for discerning the voice and activity of God within the flow of the day." We asked 2 questions:

• For what moment today am I most grateful?
• For what moment today am I least grateful?

We simply went around the room and shared our answers and it was an incredibly eye opening time. It not only opened our eyes to each other's world, but opened our own heart to God's involvement in our lives. (The moment I was most grateful for was Tracie signing me and Aidan, our 4 yr old son, up for karate! The moment I was most ungrateful for...the "Check Engine" light coming on in my car...I hate when that happens.) It was a great time. The good things were sweeter, and the tough things not so bad...even funny. I left humbled by how similar we all really are as humans.

With that said...how about you...what would your answers be?
