Ruthie's Challenge to Us All
I have a young friend named Ruthie who gradually became disabled over many years. Her severe lupus. symptoms began while she was still a toddler. I met her when she was still in pre-school.
That was when she challenged me over why we only said "gratefuls" over the food we were about to eat at the dinner table. Ruthie pointed out that a lot of time could be saved by meditating over the food before we took it out of the bags upon returning from the grocery store! I thought that was a good point.
