WHAT IF

Expressing “what if” about a past mistake will sadly not alter what has happened. However, we can take the experience and say, “Next time, this is what I will do.” Wisdom, through the power of the Holy Spirit, will provide us with the knowledge of what do, giving the joy to move forward, always with another experience awaiting us.

THE HEAVY BACKPACK

THE HEAVY BACKPACK
The weight on our shoulders can get become heavy. The more problems we place in those packs on our backs, we feel the weight of the strain we are having. Forgotten is to place the Holy Spirit into the picture, ready to relieve us from the tension. Once we let go, turning to God in prayer, our shoulders rise, eased from our burdens. Our strength can return, making us much more worthwhile to everyone, including ourselves.

THE HAND SELECTED SOUL

As the time comes for a mother and father, to begin a family of their own, God chooses a tiny soul to join them . Through prayer, guidance and love, and the parents working as a unit, the spirit will nurture within the soul, bringing forth a character with natural gifts, to be shared with many. God’s creation is ready to meet the world, with the soul, the very foundation of his well-being, remaining intact, until God reaches for it, ready for this momentous piece of life to now join Him in His Kingdom.

HOLDING OUR HANDS

We lift our hands to rejoice In God. They are raised in a sign of victory! We use them in a handshake to greet one another a hello or a good-bye. We take the hands of those around us to say “Peace of Christ be with You,” Uniting in Spirit, we help to hold the key to our community, holding God’s hands between ours, making our township a better place to live.

NOURISHMENT

We are the ones to decide how strong we want to be, God giving us free will. If we choose to say we cannot take one more step forward, we will become dormant, no longer being nourished. However, if we feed ourselves with prayer, good attitudes, laughter and be involved with the communities in our lives, we will nourished in the Spirit, and be strengthened physically, emotionally, mentally, intellectually and spiritually.

A BRUSH OF THE CHEEK

A BRUSH OF THE CHEEK
A touch of breeze may lightly brush your cheek. Smile, knowing it is a visit from the Holy Spirit, leaving you with an stroke of blessings, before it gently moves on.

THERE ARE THOSE DAYS

There are times where we feel drained, wondering when our exhaustion will leave and the energy return. All it takes is to hear an unfortunate story about another’s life to realize our own is actually pretty good. The positive attitude quickly rallies and God’s Spirit of Life is once again awakened, eager to remind us to pray for everyone, no matter the size of struggle they are facing.

BEING WISE

Treasured wisdom comes from years of experience. It consists of the many mistakes made in life, the numerous positive and happy moments shared with friends and family, by what we should or should not have said to or about others, or crying later, about ‘if only’ we had visited that one ill friend before he or she died. With a prayer to ask for forgiveness, saying what we will do ‘next time,’ we will use our new wisdom to do experience life in a better way.

THE CARDS IN THE MAIL

Being the recipient of mailed cards, two days in a row, from a person thanking me for the little things I’ve said and wishing me well, left me with such smiles on my face. What a pleasant surprise, to receive handwritten notes among the mundane bills. Now, I in turn, plan to pass on these pleasantries to others, making their days become nicer ones, as they reach into their mailboxes. Blessings can arrive in the tiniest of ways

Resplendent Wings

Asleep and very ill,
I was awakened
by an
angelic vision
standing there,
to the
left of my bedside.

She had
a
face of porcelain,
her cheeks
casting a shade of rosy pink,
her loving dark brown eyes
looked over to me,
only a thin,
but gentle,
smile on her face.

Her
light brown hair,
with rays
of gold shining through it,
page-boy style,
reached to her shoulders,
where it met
with her
long pale
green gown,
flowing outwards,
barely touching the floor.

My special angel
did not
stand much taller
than my
bed rails,
but her wings
were of pure
resplendence.
One wing alone
was much
wider and taller
than two,
depicted in
any
piece of art.

I was
in
breathless awe
as I stared
at their
heavenly and glorious transcendence.
In
multiple layers,
there were
fleeting plumes
of
fluffy
white feathers,
curving outwards,
oh,
of such brilliance!

As I remained
in my silent state,
unable to speak
because of
the majestic glory
standing by me,
she reached out toward me.
Her long bell-shaped sleeves
of the pale-green gown
touched by
arms
as
she took
my hands
into hers.
In a
tender, calming
voice,
she said to me,
“I have come to take you home.”

This,
I was not expecting.
Tears filled my eyes,
and
in a weeping voice,
I replied,
“Please, let me stay.
I’m not yet ready to go.”
With one final look at me,
having the gentle, thin smile,
and her loving dark brown eyes,
she faded from my sight.

My time
here is
God’s time.
He has
blessed me,
so I will treasure
His gift.
When He
wants me
to go home,
I know
a
special angel
will come
to
take me there.

LAUGHING TIMES

Visiting and laughing with those surrounding us, having no limit on the time together, can do wonders for the spirit and soul. A silent prayer to God will have the angels of heaven join in song, their crystal clear voices seen through the sparkling gems in the dark of night, each star holding a beautiful memory.

SPLENDORS OF DISCOVERY

The magnitude of our God-given lives goes far beyond our perceptions. We do recognize that the sky has billions of stars, the beauty in the sunrises and the serenity of colors in sunsets. We admire God’s creations in the quickness of hummingbirds and at the grandeur of waterfalls. Each day, we alone discover something new God has provided. Not any of us will ever find all He has blessed the earth with during our time here. Valuing every minute of the day will allow for continual new splendors, brought to us by our ever-loving God.
