Grounding

Fuses, circuit breakers, grounding wires, lightening rods, and special wiring in appliances all provide hidden but necessary protection from "leaky electrical currents." For the life of me, I don't understand the science, but I know the importance of being protected.

Just tallying up the many appliances and devices I use throughout a day boggles my mind. If I had to consider the danger of leaky electrical current, I would be a mess. That's where grounding comes in to play.

Spiritual Grounding

Spiritual grounding is equally important and something we should pay attention to. What grounds you? What keeps you humble, focused on important priorities rather than the trivia that invades your thinking? What keeps you from obsessing about the worries that are such a part of modern life?


Is it:

• Playing with children?
• Serving others?
• Appreciating nature?
• Keeping aware of suffering around the world and in your community?
• Minimizing your ecological footprint?
• Focusing on people, not things?
• Listening, really listening to: children, the elderly, the lonely?
• Waking every day with prayers of gratitude in your mind?
• Reading your Bible?
• Meditating?
• Praying?
• Taking time out to do nothing but daydream?

Whatever grounds you, keeps you aware of other people and keeps you aware of important priorities, be sure to make time for it. Slide it into your daily schedule. Your life will be enriched and you will be on your way to enjoying the "peace that passes understanding."

Most of all, it keeps you aware of God who created you, loves you, and desires the very best for you.
