This past weekend Anita and I attended a marriage conference at our church. It’s always good to take some time and spend it focusing on our relationship and our future. A little preventative medicine goes a long way. It was great weekend and we got a lot out of it. But I also was challenged personally during the conference.
The speaker talked about having Spiritual Goals…individually, for our kids, and for our family. Now I write personal and business goals all the time, but they aren’t focused on my spiritual journey. So I’m challenged now to take some time (alone and with Anita) to meditate, pray, and consider what my Spiritual Goals for 2008 and beyond are. And as with most goal setting processes, it’s as much about the process as the end result. Just taking the time to think about where God is leading us and directing us to go is valuable.
And the extra bonus is the end result…and the path we take to get there…is valuable too. We become better followers of Christ and we pass on a spiritual legacy to our children (and future generations too).
If you’ve never done it…I challenge you to come up with a few Spiritual Goals for this year. And write them down…gives you an opportunity to reflect on the journey God has taken you on.
