The Henri Nouwen Society of Toronto, Ontario, Canada Daily Meditation "Spiritual Choices" for Tuesday, 6 January 2015

Henri Nouwen Society - Daily Meditation
Tuesday, 6 January 2015 "Spiritual Choices"
Choices. Choices make the difference. Two people are in the same accident and severely wounded. They did not choose to be in the accident. It happened to them. But one of them chose to live the experience in bitterness, the other in gratitude. These choices radically influenced their lives and the lives of their families and friends. We have very little control over what happens in our lives, but we have a lot of control over how we integrate and remember what happens. It is precisely these spiritual choices that determine whether we live our lives with dignity.
