One of those quotes

Sometimes when you are reading a really good book you run across a quote that really resonates with you.

I often struggle with the desire to understand and have something spiritual in my life while remaining my productive and practical self. This quote is form Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat, Pray, Love"

"Here's another example of the difference in our worldviews. A family in my sister's neighborhood was recently stricken with a double tragedy, when both the young mother and her three-year-old son were diagnosed with cancer. When Catherine told me about this, I could only say, shocked, "Dear God, that family needs grace." She replied firmly, "That family needs casseroles," and then proceeded to organize the entire neighborhood into bringing that family dinner in shifts, every single night, for an entire year, I do not know if my sister fully recognizes that this IS grace."

I often find that non-religious people are far kinder and full of grace than those who run to church at every opportunity and make sure everyone knows about it.

It's always more important what you do than what you say.
