The spiritual bridge

 

The spiritual  bridge over uncharted waters is ever free flowing and ever turbulent, glorious in its capacity to give reassurance and comfort for those who push out from the shore to meet the challenges and the blessings  the waters  bring.

A harbour for our burdened spirit

 

God is the harbour for our burdened  spirit .  He stills the waters of tribulation  by bringing  calm  to the troubled waters  through  his grace, forgiveness , peace and love.

 

Christmas thoughts

 

Christmas can be a challenging  time for  those who have lost loved ones and who mourn them.  But with God’s grace, we can move forward and begin to slowly enjoy the wonders and blessings that this season bestows and to remember that each day is indeed a gift.

The strength of kindness and goodness

 

 

Don’t let the unkindness of people wear you down, instead build upon the injustice, the cruelty to create a new structure that represents the significance  of  the strength of goodness,  and kindness and  their power over evil.

 

Definitions of Faith

 Faith is the ability to keep on going when all hope is gone.

Faith is believing you can do it when no one else believes you can.

The serenity of peace

 

 

The  serenity of  peace

The serenity of faith

The serenity of  hope

The serenity of love

The serenity of  God’s spirit within our hearts

 

The Well of Gratitude

 During the  Pandemic, we can still  find and enjoy the many blessings it has brought us so we may move forward in focusing on the positive direction we can take.    

The Well of Gratitude

 

In these difficult times, we often focus on the most negative parts of our current situation.

 

Maybe instead we can focus on the positive/ the many blessings in our lives.

 

Like a wishing well when you put pennies in to make wishes, with the Well of  Gratitude, you  put in each blessing  thereby creating a fountain of up springing/ continuous joy and inspiration.

 

 

Prayer and First Aid

Prayer is first aid in dealing with  the trials and tribulations of life.

Harnessing the power of our Creator

Harness the power of our Creator each day to guide you in your daily sojourn.

Bent not broken

The other day I  noticed in my travels a poplar tree totally bent over... but somehow not broken... It had survived two ice storms and many wind and rain storms ,but it bowed to the wind, ice and rain..... embracing  them in its fullness and spirit.

We too can be like this tree... bent but not broken.. surviving and . living in the grace of our Creator’s fullness and protection.

One way to heal a wounded spirit is forgiveness. Forgiveness is the best gift you can give yourself and others. It is one step in the process of drycleaning the soul.

New Year's Resolutions

To challenge ourselves spiritually, we can try approaching this New Year by doing something different each day and getting out of our comfort zone. Complacency is indeed the death of creativity.... So try a new approach to New Year's resolutions and check out this site... www.365thingsin365days.com. This is one way of breaking out of the norm of being mediocre. Wishing everyone all the best for 2013. Happy New Year !

We are all intertwined

We are irrevocably intertwined, interrelated... what we do to ourselves- we also do unto others. This is something we must acknowledge and honour every day of our lives.

All we have is the moment in time

All we have is this moment in time. The journey of Now is the pathway we should travel so we can free our spirit in the eminence of the present and all of its wondrous blessings. But the heart, mind and soul have to be open to see and experience all of these blessings.

The Lighthouse within our soul

The lighthouse within our soul is there to light our pathway. It lights up the darkness that harbours within our hearts at times. But, more gloriously, it reveals what is so wonderfully beyond us.

Digital Diaries

The therapeutic benefits of journaling can also be channelled into goal achieving e-plans and efforts.. With digital diary sites, such as penzu.com- you get reminders to write, get quotations that will help motivate you in your own reflections and have entries from months or years ago emailed to your email account to remind you of the spiritual journey you have travelled and your goals attained. You can access this site on your iphone or computer. And, it is password protected ... Synchronicity and immediacy are now melded in such digital diaries... Good luck

The Prayer of Serenity

The Prayer of Serenity is a motivational guiding system for many people.


Essentially, it boils down to one phrase for me... you cannot control the uncontrolable...
Accept this wisdom and you will experience more peace of mind as well as nurture a forgiving and loving spirit.

My definition of creativity

In the ever- rushed world of the 21st century, we never take the time to listen, nurture something is inherent and organic within all of us ... and that is Creativity.


My definition of Creativity is: a spontaneous process erupting from the soul within...

Take the time out of each day to do this and watch your professional, personal and spiritual life change for the better.
