*We love our men friends, but this meeting is just for women--Sorry!
Ordinarily, Women's Spiritual Journey randomly picks a different character trait to discuss each month. Discussions are freewheeling, guided by the interests of the group. Generally, we think about how the quality operates in our lives (or doesn't), what it looks like, what it produces, and how we can strengthen it. This month, we're discussing...Faithfulness.
Faithfulness is being loyal to our beliefs, remaining firm and steadfast regardless of what happens. When our faith is tested, we stay strong and learn from the experience. We do our work with meticulous care and excellence, faithful to its true intent. With the people we love, we are abiding and trustworthy. They know we will not abandon them or violate the sacred trust between us. Faithfulness through the changes and tests of time is a sign of lasting love. Faithfulness through the changes and tests of time is a sign if lasting love. Faithful friendship is one of life’s greatest treasures.
“Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.” ~Gautama Buddha
The Practice of Faithfulness
I am committed to my beliefs.
I seek the lessons in difficulties.
I give my work the care it deserves.
I stand by my friends and loved ones.
I have abiding relationships.
I cherish my friendships.
I am thankful for the gift of Faithfulness.
It makes me a covenant person.
How Faithful are You?
- How can you tell if you’re sticking to your beliefs or just being stubborn?
- How can you tell if a belief is worth sticking to, i.e. what about erroneous beliefs?
- Can you remember a lesson learned from staying faithful to a person and belief?
- What does it mean to be abiding? Should we extend being abiding and trustworthy beyond the people we love?
- How do we come by our beliefs? Do you question your beliefs? How do you test whether a belief is worthy of you or serves you?
- Do some of your beliefs conflict with other beliefs you have? What do you do about that?
- What is a covenant? A covenant person? Do you have friends or family who are? What does it require to be one?
