Irenic Thoughts

Internal Change

I gave up coffee creamer for Lent one year. By the end of the tenth day, I began to love black coffee.

That's the year I learned that it isn't giving up things that counts. Me? I became aware that only internal change really counts.

    I agree completely. It's part of the spiritual journey, not giving up some random material thing. For me it's adding to connection with God and continuing on my journey with enhanced awareness of the Holy.
