Blessings

Monday, August 18, 2014

Today's thought:  Blessings

Blessings multiply when we acknowledge them.  Each day, take a few minutes to actively think of all the blessings in your life, all the little things we sometimes take for granted.  When we do this, we become aware that God has indeed poured down upon us "blessings in full measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing."

Wishing you the realization of all the blessings in your life.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Changes

Sunday, August 17, 2014

Today's thought:  Changes

Everything changes, everything ends.  All is always in a continual state of change, and so it follows that all is always in a continual state of ending through evolving.  Moment to moment, continual changing; moment to moment, continual evolving.  With patience and grace, we see the cycles of birth, growth, what we call 'death', and rebirth.  The flower blooms again; the tree grows taller, and we are ever closer to enlightenment and the perfect Oneness with God.

Wishing you the blessings of patience and grace.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Be kind

Saturday, August 16, 2014

Today's thought:  Be kind

Be kind to all living things, including yourselves.    Some days this seems easier to do than others.  There are times we feel emotionally stronger, and more able to face the day and whatever it brings to us.  Do the best you can in all situations, so that you will not later have feelings of regret or guilt.  Be kind to yourselves and being kind to others will naturally follow.

Wishing you all the blessings you most desire.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Love

Friday, August 15, 2014

Today's thought:  Love

From the writings of Rabindranath Tagore:

"Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment.  It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation."

God is love.  We come from love; we are love; and we will return to love.  It is man's distortion of love that causes so many problems.

Wishing you the blessing of love in your minds and hearts.....and peace and joy, always.

Advice

Wednesday, August 13, 2014

Today's thought:  Advice

In my experience, it seems best not to give advice unless asked to do so.  And, even then, before you answer, ask yourself two questions:  'Is this my business?' and, 'What is my intent?'

Sometimes those who ask are looking for confirmation of their own thoughts and actions.  Sometimes those who answer are defending their own thoughts and actions.

Within the quiet center of each of us, lie all the answers to all the questions we will ever ask.  Be still, and listen.

And, as you can so plainly see, that is my unasked for advice.

Wishing you the blessing of being still and hearing all the answers to all your questions.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Be aware.

Tuesday, August 12, 2014

Today's thought:  Be aware

Maya Angelou once said, "When people show you who they are, believe them the first time."

I know I have previously posted this message.  I do it again because I recently discovered that although I knew this, I wasn't putting it into practice.  Save yourself some heartache.  "When people show you who they are, believe them the first time."

Wishing you the blessings of insight and awareness.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Forgiveness

Monday, August 11, 2014

Today's thought:  Forgiveness

While on the cross, Jesus said, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."  Luke 23:34

At any given moment in time, we can only act according to our understanding at that time.  When we know better, we will be better, and we will act better.  We don't look at this as an excuse to behave irresponsibly.  We look at this as the reason to learn more, that we may understand ourselves more fully, forgive ourselves and others more readily, and achieve our oneness with the Father more quickly.  Nonforgiveness of self and others is a roadblock on our path to enlightenment.

Wishing you insight, courage, the ability to forgive.....and peace, joy, and love, always.
