increased possession loads us with a new weariness

Friday, August 5th, 2011

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know…

…that every increased possession loads us with a new

weariness.

John Ruskin said that, and he was right. Life is not

about our physical or material possessions, it is about

the agenda of our soul. When material possessions

serve that agenda, they can be wonderful and are to

be celebrated. But if they come between us and the

soul, then we may very well be delayed on our holy journey.

Our journey is the path back to peace, to harmony,

to deep inner joy, to love, and to God.

Love, Your Friend….

gentle tolerance and easy forgiveness

Friday, August 5th, 2011

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know…
…that if you become ruffled with every comment that

you consider a ‘slight,’ you will never find peace.

Nor will you find it by always separating yourself from

those who ruffle you. You can only end so many

friendships before you find yourself very much alone.

You can keep making new friends, of course, but

sooner or later they will ruffle you — and then what?

Perhaps the better course might be to let the ruffle

go. People rarely mean it when they do that, and a

touch of gentle tolerance and easy forgiveness every

day is even better than an apple…

different points of view

Friday, August 5th, 2011

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know…
…that a point of view different from your own might

be well worth entertaining.

Sometimes it is not easy hearing an idea that is

different from the one you are advancing — yet it

might be that second idea for which you were actually

reaching for.

Answers arrive in more ways than one. Sometimes

they come through us, and sometimes they come

to us.

Love, Your Friend….

good health bad memory

Friday, August 5th, 2011

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know…
…that happiness is good health and a bad memory.

Ingrid Bergman said that, and it is so true. Memories,

of course, bring up moments that are past, whereas

happiness is always found in the moment that is here,

now.

Constantly remembering bad things, or sad things, can

rob you of your present — that is, your pre-sent — joy.

Happiness has been sent to you in advance by God. It

is here, in this moment, if you will seize it…and share it.

Love, Your Friend….
