Why Awaken?

…the door is wide and open, don’t go back to sleep...Rumi (the untold story)

eternal joy

We’re strangers in our own home. We’re so near the nectar yet we either don’t look for it or don’t know where to alight. Let’s not be worried about the future nor sad about what could have been. Life is happening right now. If we get too lost in our thoughts we’ll pass by the door that’s ‘wide and open’…

affirmations

Today I AM discovering and entering the doorway to eternity that’s inside me…

What Can We Give?

the greatest gift

Ask not what the world can give us but what we can gift to the world!

Why We’re Challenged!

If it weren’t for your challenges, how would you ever know that there are things you still misunderstand?
You wouldn’t.
Bless them. Embrace them. Give thanks.

Mike Dooley

challenges

Where would we be if we weren’t challenged by Life? We’d be even more childish and immature. True understanding wouldn’t find us. Life, in fact, wouldn’t be worth living.

affirmations

I AM thankful for all that Life brings to me. I accept it all. I AM ready for the next challenge! All is well!

Where’s The Blessing?

There’s no blessing that can’t be a disaster, and no disaster that can’t be a blessing. Richard Bach

blessing

Generally after a terrible event occurs we have to wait a real long time to understand what good might come from it. After the massacre in South Carolina, lo-behold there was a miracle of grace and faith. Most families simply and genuinely forgave the wielder of that horrendous and unthinkable violence. It was a great testament to their faith in God and God’s love in their life.

affirmations

Today I AM ready to forgive one and all. God gives me the strength I need to withstand the ‘terrible’ things in my life. I will survive and I will triumph when I partner with my Father!
