Join Together

Talking with my cousin Christy Wednesday afternoon I asked her whether she likes her life in British Columbia compared to when she and her husband spend time in Arizona. She said that she likes them both though they are different.

In British Columbia they are more isolated so they don’t see other people as often than when living in Arizona. Both worlds they enjoy however their two oldest sons live in Edmonton, Alberta. The oldest son is married with a daughter who is almost a year old and the second son’s wife is now pregnant with their first child so they spend more time there and less in British Columbia. Also their third son along with wife and daughter live in Fredericton , New Brunswick so they have to go visit there as well. So they jungle their personal lives around.

This comes to our lives where we all do similar things in the natural however there is the spiritual life as well. Some people keep the natural and the spiritual separated however they should be joined together. We have both natural gifts along with spiritual gifts. They can actually work together we choose to do so. In fact God would prefer that we have them work together. I see them come together in the same way when a couple together and get married. Often there is an adjustment time for a couple when they get married. They may have known each other for some time but their lives were still separate before marriage.

Just like marriage bring the natural and the spiritual is not an easy task. Primarily because most people have had those worlds live separately however we should find a way for them to work together. It may odd and strange but willing it can be an exciting life having the natural and spiritual together. I am still working on that myself however every day it is getting better and better. It will take time for it to work out but I believe living a natural spiritual life is a good thing. Amen!
