"Let us love one another; let us love the world. Let us serve simply and deeply, leaving the shouting and tumult to others."
Ernest Holmes as quoted in Rev. Margaret Stortz's article, "Compassion Is a Divine Flowering, Science of the Mind Magazine August 2010.
The greatest miracle of all, is our ability to love.
"To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return you will receive untold peace and happiness."
Robert Muller
It appears to be true, the benefits of forgiveness are given to the one who forgives. Joy and peace do follow forgiveness..............
"A feeling that greater possessions, no matter of what king they may be, will of themselves bring contentment or happiness, is a misunderstanding. No person, place, or thing can give you happiness and a feeling of contentment, but the Joy of Living comes from within." -
Genevive Behrend (1881-1960) Your Invisible Power
"I am always amazed when I go as far asI can see, I can see further" Michael Bloxton
"Holding a grudge is like having someone live rent free in your head." author unknown

The Truth Is The Way
Life is good when one is constantly experiencing spiritual growth.
The path to spiritual growth is proceeded by the truth.
The truth will always lead the way.
Falsehood blocks the entrance to the path of spiritual growth.

Life is a Journey Through Knowledge
Just is just another one of my rambling thoughts, I am slowly organizing..................
Lots of work required before this is finished........this a rough draft # 1
I am not sure why, but I have always searched for knowledge;
always searched for the truth.
I live in awe at the creator of all things.
The one whose knowledge surpasses all understanding
The one who gives us this life, prepares us for our journey.
The miracle in searching for knowledge,
(and there is a miracle in all things),
is, whenever I ask a question with sincerity, faith and honestey,
The teacher appears, in a book, in nature, a child, a old friend, a new friend.......................
I believe I am not on a unique journey.
I am only a part of the whole,
we all are searching for knowledge.
We are here.
Together
On earth
At the same time
To love, to share. to play, to laugh, to seek, to learn, together.
Together we seek, together we share, together we learn, together we create, together we are one world

Christmas Gift for Dad
My Dad received his angel wings two years ago.
Even at the age of 93, Dad had not outgrown the child-like wonder of Christmas.
I must of inherited this gift from Dad, because I love Christmas.
I too have not outgrown the wonder of Christmas, a part of me still wants to believe in Santa Clause.
Shopping for Dad's gifts was always a big part of my Christmas joy.
The past two years, there has been a little sadness, a sense of loss, during this otherwise magical time of year.
When in the stores, I would constantly see something I knew Dad would like.
I would find myself reaching for the article before I remembered that Dad was no longer here.
The tears would fill my eyes and the Christmas joy would leak from my spirit.
This year I remembered Dad's love of animals.
Kittens and puppies were always a part of Dad's life.
Usually the pet's time with Dad began as a stray who wandered into the yard and was invited in for a warm bowl of milk and shelter from the cold.
The memories helped me to realized I could still give Dad a Christmas gift.
Dad would love no gift more, than the knowledge that stray animals were still being brought in from the cold.
Cheques to the local animal shelter were soon made out and taken to the post office.
And I, having mailed the cheques rediscovered the Christmas peace.
Now when I am Christmas shopping, I no longer reach for gifts for Dad, 'cause in my heart I know, Dad's gift is already bought and wrapped.
And it feels so good.
It is that feeling you get when you have found the perfect gift for someone you love.
This Christmas, if you're missing someone you love, I highly recommend a donation to their favorite charity.
Merry Christmas to all.
May the joy and peace of this season fill your heart and home.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - ,
Love is patient,
love is kind, it is not envious.
Love does not brag, it is not puffed up.
It is not rude, it is not self-serving,
it is not easily angered or resentful.
It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth.
It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.

Leanne
Leanne was no ordinary girl.
My niece, Leanne, was just 29 years old when cancer called her home to paradise.
During her last months on earth, Leanne became our teacher.
She taught us volumes about love, forgiveness, and courage.
She showed us when you walk with God, evil is powerless.
Cancer was powerless in Leanne's life;
it was not allowed to be a curse.
Cancer was only allowed to be,
a challenge that love could overcome.
Leanne knew, when she left earth,
her mother and her son, would miss her dearly.
Leanne also knew the miracle of love.
She knew, her everlasting love,would always, surround those who,
were fortunate enough to know and love her.
Leanne was no ordinary girl.
Leanne was our teacher.
