The serenity prayer…

Mar6

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. ~Reinhold Niebuhr

*

Reading the serenity prayer always gives me a few things to think about.

If we could just keep these three things in the for front of our minds and follow them completely, we would be a lot less stressed.

Trusting in God takes a lot of pressure off of our every day decisions.

Many times we give something to God, and then take it back to resolve our own way.

And that just doesn’t really work.

It is human nature, however.

So trust in the wisdom to know the difference and practice it until you are able to trust, do what you can, and let the rest go.

See the best…

Dec23

Always pray to have eyes

that see the best in people,

a heart that forgives the worst,

a mind that forgets the bad,

and a soul that never

loses faith in God.

~GodFruits.com

*

Do your best to live a happy life, forgetting the bad things and emphasizing the good ones.

Since what you think about expands, the more you think about wonderful things, the better your life will be.

That doesn’t justify the wrong in the world, it just keeps you in a good place so that you can line up more good for yourself and your loved ones.

Keep your faith no matter what anyone else does, and always see the best in every situation.

The other serenity prayer…

Dec5

The OTHER Serenity Prayer…

 

God, grant me the serenity to stop

beating myself up for not doing

things perfectly, the courage to

forgive myself because I’m working

on doing better, and the wisdom to

know that you already love me

just the way I am.

~unknown

 

 

*

 

 

Perfectionism is a hard trait

to acknowledge let alone accept.

 

But we must admit that everyone

suffers from a little bit of perfectionism,

if not a whole lot of it.

 

At some point we realistically know that being perfect

is impossible and that we have to feel

okay just the way we are.

 

Because perfectionism is an illusion

and real life is a practice.

 

Where we get another chance

every day

to make our life

better and better

and make it more authentic

or however we really want it to be.

 

Along with knowing

that God accepts us unconditionally,

just the way we are right now

without question.

Blessings on your day…

Sep20

Blessings on your day…

 

May the Sun always

shine on your windowpane.

May a rainbow be

certain to follow each rain.

May the hand of a

friend always be near you.

May God fill your heart

with gladness to

cheer you.

~Irish Blessing

Willy Nywening, The Journey Home

There are so many blessings

to be found every day of your life.

 

Some days you have to look

a little harder for them,

but they are still there.

 

Other days just shine

with blessings and they are

a profound part of every moment.

 

Be appreciative of every blessing coming your way,

and they will continue to show up

more often.

 

Be a cooperative component

to what you want,

and watch it appear in your life

as one blessing after another.

The key to healing…

Aug25

The key to healing…

 

The key to HEALING is within you.

Free yourself from worries.

Find joy in everything you do.

Stay positive and be grateful for the 

beautiful world around you.

Find comfort from your loved ones.

Keep your faith.

Believe that in God everything is possible.

~Josefina

 

*

 

If you are in pain,

and you keep thinking about your pain,

it tends to increase.

 

If you can take your mind off of your painful area

and start thinking about something else,

pretty soon that pain will reside.

 

The body will heal itself

if you let it,

and give it everything it needs to accomplish it’s job.

 

That includes healthy food, plus supplements, lots of water and rest.

You may even want to soothe it with

topical pain reliever or internal pain reliever additives or medications.

 

If you keep adding to the pain,

your body is made to let you know

through the feeling of tired muscles,

and heightened nerve pain.

 

If you are sore from exercising,

you may need to take a day or two off to rest

before exercising the same muscles again.

 

If you are stressed out, you would feel better if you could

take your mind off your worries and

think about something else.

 

Staying positive and grateful for the beauty around you.

Finding comfort in your loved ones and pets.

 

Keeping your faith and

believing that everything

is possible.

 

Finding joy

in everything you do.

Time and pressure…

Jul8

Time and pressure…

 

God changes

caterpillars into

butterflies,

sand into pearls and

coal into diamonds

using time and pressure.

He’s working on

you too.

~Rick Warren

 

*

 

Feeling pressure about

things in life

can be an uncomfortable

place to be.

 

It’s hard to relax

when your life is under

an insurmountable amount

of pressure.

 

But sometimes it takes

a little pressure

to get things going.

 

Otherwise important decisions

can be put off

for longer and longer

lengths of time.

 

Urgency

promotes answers

whether you like it or not.

 

So if you are

feeling pressure right now,

remember it as a helpful tool

in bringing you the answers

you are seeking.

 

Try not to resist the things

that are good for you.

 

Change is a necessary part of life.

 

Be the change you are seeking

and you won’t have to feel like

you are being pressured

into anything.

 

Allow your life to

rise up to the level

it is meant to be.

 

God is not finished with you yet.

 

There’s even more good to come

if you peacefully seek it.

 

And you can always ask for help

if the pressure gets a little too

intense for you in the moment.

 

Miracles can happen

when needed.

 

And all you have to do

is BELIEVE.

 

Imagine that…

Anyway…

Apr25

Forgive them anyway…

“People are often unreasonable and self-
centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of
ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be
happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten
tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may
never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and
God. It was never between you and them
anyway.”
~Mother Teresa

 

*

 

 

When someone hurts you in any way,

you are focused on that person and what they did.

You spend your time thinking and re thinking

about the hurt and what happened.

Maybe even taking time to think about what they said

and what they really meant and what it felt like to them.

 

Even if it was just them being self-centered and unreasonable.

But the more you stay in that hurtful feeling and re living the hurt,

the longer you promote the situation as a “hurtful” experience.

If you can possibly “forgive” them and move on,

you will be free from whatever they did.

You probably won’t want to totally forget what happened,

but forgiveness=freedom for you.

 

If you are a kind person, people may misunderstand you

and think that you are just faking it for some reason.

Don’t worry about what others think

because they are coming from their own perspective, not yours.

It’s up to you to decide how kind you want to be

and if you want to keep practicing kindness for your own

self realization and growth.

 

If you are honest, people may

take advantage of you and cheat you.

Again, that is their bad if they rip you off in some way.

 

It may not feel good to you, but if you can just learn from the experience

and realize that not everyone has your best interest at heart,

you can become more aware and not let the same thing happen again.

 

Don’t worry, and you don’t have to get even either.

That is what KARMA is about.

Sooner or later they will be presented with the same thing they did to you.

Just be honest, anyway.

You will feel so much better and your path will attract more people like you in the future.

 

If you find happiness, people may be jealous of you.

Just be an example and let them have something to aspire to.

You never know how much you will effect them just by showing

that happiness is possible in a broken world.

 

Do your best to live your life

being thankful and grateful every day.

 

It is between you,

yourself, and God,

so don’t worry about what others think.

 

They have their own life to live,

not yours.

Show me…

Mar20

Show me…

 

Before you speak to me about

your religion, first show it

to me in how you treat other

people;  before you tell me

how much you love your

God, show me in how much

you love all His children; before

you preach to me of your

passion for your faith, teach

me about if through your

compassion for your neighbors.

In the end, I’m not as interested 

in what you have to tell or

sell as I am in how you choose

to live and give.

A small voice…

Jan28

A small voice…

 

There exists 

within each of us

a small, still voice

 

Some call it God

Some call it conscience

Some call it truth

Some call it intuition

It is known my many names

It exists in every human

I care not what it is called

but simply that we listen to it

For I know that it makes us one…

Occupy Kindness

 

*

 

The still, small voice is referred to in the Bible

as the voice of the Holy Spirit.

It is a voice that is also known as the quiet voice of God.

 

If we aren’t careful, we will miss that still, small voice, and listen to the larger voice of our ego or someone else’s voice of importance in our lives.

  • Maybe our well meaning parents.
  • Maybe our teachers.
  • Maybe law enforcement.
  • Maybe school officials.
  • Maybe classmates.
  • Maybe relatives.
  • Maybe friends.

There are endless well meaning people who want to share advice with you.

Their intention may be to share a compelling story that they feel will help you in some way.

Or something that happened to them that changed their life in some profound adventure.

 

The problem with all of it is that their experience is NOT your experience.

It’s their calling NOT your calling.

 

They may have gotten into trouble themselves because they didn’t listen to the still, small voice.

But they listened to someone else instead.

Someone who pushed their influence onto that person.

With a loud, undeniable voice.

 

Someone who may have meant well, but just didn’t realize that they were actually KEEPING the other person from experiencing their Highest Good by not following their divine calling.

When someone else prevents you from these divine experiences, they actually keep you farther away from that still,small voice.

It is definitely up to each individual to discern which voice to listen to, and a lot of the time it is only age and experience that will determine the correct results.

 

We have all made mistakes and done things that we wish we had done differently, but life goes on.

It is good to know that you really never get anything WRONG, anyway.

And that we never get it done.

 

In other words, if you think you have failed at something, just try again with what you have learned from the first experience.

There will always be another chance to apply your education to your next challenge.

Unless you run out of time in this life and have to save your lessons until the next go round.

 

But as long as you are here,

and the more you connect with the spiritual world and listen to the small, still voice,

the more able you will be to hear the true calling of your life through spiritual guidance

and more able you will be to become ONE with it.
