THE FLOOD

THE FLOOD

 Our day can have a discouraging moment or two. It is during those times that the mind, spirit, heart and soul are flooded with God’s love, empathy, gentleness and grace.

A GRATIFYING BURDEN

Taking on a Herculean task is most unpleasant. To imagine this burden as gratifying, while asking for a little help from God, lifts the heavy load. The heart, mind and soul are nourished, feeling at peace.

OH, WHAT A JOYFUL PLACE!

We see God’s passion for life in every sunrise and sunset. It is there in the beauty of a bird’s flight, the scent of a rose, the waves of an ocean and in the great heights of every awe-inspiring mountain. We, too, are part of His formula, being gifted with our own passions as soon as we had a soul. Using our passions with all our hearts, souls and minds will make our world a joyful place!

RESPONSES

I recently had a theology course, having weekly discussion boards. After one of my entries, a classmate said my response would help her have a new relationship with her teen.  I had said that no matter what young adults told me, I responded with sympathy. It might be a broken fingernail, a happening in their day, or how a friend responded to something that had said. I have also done this with the students I have had for the past 38 years.  To them, whatever the catastrophe, it is a true problem.  As adults, if we have a problem, we do not want someone to laugh at us. It is human nature to want sympathy. Have concern and listen to what they say.  Show expression in your response, letting them know you have heard them. It does not hurt to throw in a hug or two! They are the next generation; let us show them the way!  Open up your heart to the Spirit. Doing so will let your heart open up to everyone!

CLOUDS and HAPPINESS

Clouds have always fascinated me. As I see the different shapes and forms in the sky, I can go wild in my imagination.  I don't always think of them as taking the form of an object, but instead how they affect my soul.
They seem to bring such a calmness about me. Always, they lead me into prayer. I am thanking God for allowing me to see these beautiful pieces of art into nature.  I can truly feel my heart start to beat a little faster and my cheeks begin to be a bit warmer. Just as with people, no two clouds are alike. And, as with people, each can affect another in a different way, though there is a common thread to keep all united.  May the brightness and softness of every beautiful cloud cause for you to also feel a happiness within your spiritual soul.  Be good to yourself, nourishing this internal glow. Gently reach out to others, giving them the same opportunity to feel the calmness of God and the Holy Spirit, having all us stay united with our Lord.
