Good Morning, God!

Today is a beautiful day out. My first words spoken in my mind today were to God, telling him good morning and thanking him for this crispy autumn air and the blue sky. I could feel my spirit starting to stir, as I noticed the blue jays stopping at our bird feeder, with others stopping at the bird bath. Though I might be at a standstill, the works of God never stop. His spreads his Holy Spirit everywhere. We are the privileged ones, being the recipients of His magnificent gifts. Let all of us go out today, feeling the strength of the Holy Spirit, and spread His love, kindness and joy to those who seem to be having a rather bad day. Bring on a smile!

Harvest and the Holy Spirit Nurturing us

 While in Mass yesterday, facing the altar and crucifix, I could peer out the large glassed window behind them. The serene land seen could show me fall had come, with the trees holding golden leaves. I had a sad moment, thinking of what had been alive is now gone for another season, when once again, it will come back to life. To me it was another sign of the resurrection.
My thoughts were only sad for a moment, as a realized how one piece of greenery is now gone, but in its place are the signs of a harvest. There are the reds and greens of chile, the beautiful brightly colored orange pumpkins, the purples of eggplant, and the golden rows of wheat.

I realized that while I continue to be nurtured by the Holy Spirit, I am also being nurtured by all the foods of autumn. A moment of thanks and a smile deemed necessary, as I see once again, He always provides!  Amen!

Spirituality Providing a Light

Just as that candle is especially bright within the harvested pumpkin, the light of the Spirit is glowing brightly within us. We, too, are being nourished to be gleaned one day, for a new life, an eternity with God. Those who have gone before us never stopped receiving this wondrous light. Now, they live in exquisite brightness, as they have joined our Trinitarian God, where the glow is beyond anything we can describe. Our loved ones are being kept warm at at peace, basking in the light or our glorious Lord.

Music, The Soul and The Holy Spirit

As I write today, I am listening to Masters of Chant IV, a new age group with music which can affect your soul. You can only feel good as you hear these men sing, with the electronics in the background. It is as how the Holy Spirit can affect my soul. But the Holy Spirit lasts longer than two minutes. It is always t...here, giving me a good feeling. It provides endless music to my soul, whether it is in the middle of the morning or in the middle of the night. What an emotional and sensational feeling it gives me, always nurturing me. When you have a da
