We have all been graced by specially kind, generous and compassionate acts of strangers; acts with an everyday holiness which delight, calm, move, and gratify us. May those acts inspire us as we make our way in the world.

One thing that Quakers share is the belief that there is “that of God” in every person. But every person of a certain age who is in good health has the capacity to perceive the world around them, to discern their options, to make decisions, and to act in gracious and loving ways.
What, really, is the difference?
Isn’t a holy spirit standard equipment, so to speak, within human beings?
Does one have to do anything to have holiness within? I don’t think so.
What matters is belief and choice and, perhaps always, grace. Once one is exposed to the idea that there is holiness within oneself and everyone else, one can only reject the idea, ignore it – or accept it and, moment to moment, forget it or embrace it and do one’s best to live accordingly.
