A Spiritual Gain

Finding something that inspires you and ignites the spirit is a profound moment. A few short weeks ago, I had made an Arabic language video. I was having fun with it and didn't care too much about the mistakes that I was making. One of the first mistakes was my CD player causing a couple of books to fall at once. This lead to a large noise and made these books from my bookshelf fall behind it. I forgot about these books and they were soon starting to be speckled in dust. I came across one of them the other week, and I was so grateful I did. I can't believe I actually forgot about it or missed it. 
This book is an older spiritual book, and it explains the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and the benefits of this wonderful sacrament. I feel that this little red book has taught me more about my faith in a much deeper way than I have encountered before. 

I am surprised that I didn't notice this book in my bookshelf before it fell. Through my video(s), I have learned and become more comfortable with just being myself with or without mistakes, and practicing and progressing in Arabic. I feel also that this spiritual book has provided a lot to me as well, and am grateful that I made a mistake on my video so that I could find and be more aware of this treasured book.
