WELCOME EVERYTHING

“To be broken is no reason to see everything as being broken.”  Mark Nepo.

My constant prayer is “Nothing missing, nothing lacking, nothing broken, just “Peace and Shalom,” says Isaiah 26:3-4, and peace will abide in you.

I share another good quote:  “We rise by lifting others.”  Robert Ingersoll.

If you find yourself in an impossible situation, receive everything from Almighty God who is your refuge, fortress and deliverer.  Dismiss the mind and stay in the heart.  Let God’s beauty lift you up or you lift up others. Allow the Holy Spirit to blossom your soul for family and friends. Amazingly your prayers will release powers of healing from heaven.  Unprecedented world events will clash But so will God to end wicked plots.  Stay strong in faith, you will be fortified and protected.  A Bing Image.

CHANGING FLOWERS

Soon flowers will change in color as evidenced in “Growth is the only evidence of life.  To live is to change and to have changed often.”  According to John Henry Newman, which inspires this Haiku:

White Winter flowers

So prayer radicalizes

Lonely thoughts vanish

SATURDAY IS SPECIAL

May your accommodating attire carry a broad thanksgiving smile to complete this year of restoration and prosperity.  Remember that everything is changing for the best.  God promise at hand.

I clap my hands for long gone are my former Saturdays filled with familial chores, yea!  It’s time to write again, to prepare for Sabbath worship and create a yummy dinner.

May these Biblical blessings set a perfect tone for today:

Philippians 4:19 – “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”

Isaiah 40:31 – “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  Theywill soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Psalm 34:8 – “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.”  and

2 Corinthians 9:8 – “And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”

What are your Saturdays for?  Be Happy!  A Bing Image.

 

SOUL AFFIRMATION

Soul, why do you fret in longing for freedom and redemption?  The famous Sufi poet Rumi believes that “the desire to know your own soul will quiet all other worldly desires.  My soul is from elsewhere.  I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.”  That is my hope.  Keep Love in mind; the light of the soul that connect the person to the Divine.  As Rumi speaks further, remember that “You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the entire oceans in a drop.”  So, today caress your soul and be made well.   A Bing Image.

 

 

 

FOX GAZING

William Alther is famous for depicting nature in the Southwest like this magnificent fox gazing in the sunshine. You can better appreciate this painting alongside his words: “I’m really drawn to light and shadow. Any subject can be good if it’s got the right kind of light hitting it. That more than anything else, is what I’m after.” which inspires this Haiku:

HAIKU

O majestic fox

You freely roam the valley

As other creatures run scared
