Spiritually Active

Two fellows were talking about staying spiritually active.  I assumed, without investigation, that they meant “pray” more, go to church/synagogue and such.  But “No” they said.  Instead, to be spiritually active, they found someone who could use their help.  Prayer is not the whole of being spiritually fit, active.  Spirituality is all about relationship, and that means other persons.  Private prayer, or community prayer must bear fruit in human interaction, where you give of yourself for the sake of another.  You help yourself by helping another.  Private prayer is not selfish when it leads to being of service to another. Works for me.
