Practice makes perfect; well not quite but it sure helps! We are all works in progress when it comes to faith and discipleship. One of the ways we grow is through spiritual practices. In recent months I have been sharing a few of these practices. Some are traditional, like prayer and worship. Some you might not have considered as a way to grow in your relationship with God…like today’s idea.

Many believe our Hoosier state is most beautiful in Autumn. Clear skies and cooler temperatures are the ideal setting for displaying the vibrant colors of the season. The harvest of our agricultural region draws our attention to the abundance built into God’s creation. Festivals every weekend invite us into the communities and cultures that reflect the rich diversity of the world God loves, expanding our appreciation and our knowledge.

Engaging the natural beauty and cultural opportunities at our doorstep, can be a meaningful spiritual practice. After all, God is the source of all that is good. When we contribute to this greater good we are partners with God and grow in our faith. In whatever ways you are able and enjoy, engage the world, and share the love!

Yours in Christ,

Marc
