In God

2010-12-31T06:22:00.003-05:00

"God cannot

give us a

happiness and peace

apart from

Himself,

because it is

not there.

There is

no such thing."

~ C.S. Lewis

Happiness and peace are achieved when your

body, mind and soul are in balance and you are

consciously striving to do the will of a loving

Higher Power.

Things cannot create happiness.

Places cannot create happiness.

Only the loving family and friends who share

the things and places we have can bring us

serenity, peace of mind, and happiness.

Feeling the Spirit of the Universe within you

gives you peace of mind and happiness.

True happiness is to give all the glory

to the God who created all.

Happiness is in God.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Believe

2010-12-30T07:09:00.004-05:00

"Everything

is possible

for him

who believes."

~ Bible

Believe that you can change your body,

eat right, exercise right, sleep right, and

avoid stress.

Believe that you can change your mind,

listen, do not say I Know, compromise,

avoid stress.

Believe that you cannot change your soul,

God made you perfectly capable of choosing

to do His will by doing the next right thing,

avoiding stress.

Happiness is no stress.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Tomorrows

2010-12-29T06:44:00.004-05:00

"All

the flowers

of all

the tomorrows

are in

the seeds

of today.”

~ Proverbs

Bloom, look good, smell sweet, attract a mate

and know that tomorrow you will fade

and your legacy will be in the seeds

you have left behind.

Whether they are your own seeds or the seeds

of others that God gave to you to nurture does

not really matter, what counts the most is that

you do the next right thing to make God's world

a better place for all.

Teach, preach, set and example. inspire or motivate,

do your best to have tomorrows seeds grow and

bloom in a garden that is full of beauty and love.

Happiness is knowing that you are the bearer of good seeds.

Do Right

2010-12-28T06:17:00.006-05:00

“You cannot

make yourself

feel something

you do not feel,

but you can

make yourself

do right

in spite of your feelings.” ~Pearl S. Buck

Don't know what you feel, don't know how to feel,

that is not an excuse for not doing the next right thing.

Practice patience, slow down, quiet the noisy mind,

learn to listen, do not think about what you are going to say

while someone else is talking, take a deep breath and wait

for the feeling to arise from deep within your soul.

Learn to intuitively understand those feelings

which used to confound you.

Today, to do right is to do the will of your loving

Higher Power.

God's will is for us all is to be kind, be loving, be patient

and tolerant and to do right.

Happiness is doing right in spite of our feelings.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Order

2010-12-27T06:29:00.004-05:00

"Happiness

is not

a matter

of intensity

but of

balance,

order,

rhythm

and harmony." ~Thomas Merton

Stop trying sooooo hard.

Intensity is a lack of faith.

Relax.

Let go and let God.

Balance is feeling the rhythm of the Earth.

Balance is listening to the harmony of the Universe.

Order is God's World, just as it is supposed to be.

Happiness is accepting the order.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Deep Within

2010-12-26T06:42:00.005-05:00

"The law

is not

thrust

upon man;

it rests

deep

within him,

to waken

when

the call comes." ~ Martin Buber

Simple, follow the feelings from deep within.

Laws are for those who cannot accept

the responsibility for doing what is right.

The body is weak, it can't be trusted to be responsible,

the body loves instant gratification, has no true feelings,

and it will definitely get you in trouble with the law

if you follow its urges.

The mind thinks too much, it can justify even

the worst irresponsible acts, and is prone

to forget the law at the worst times.

The soul knows, the gut feeling that wrote the laws,

the feelings that lead to happy, joyous and free.

Happiness is feeling right from deep within.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Christmas

2010-12-25T06:31:00.001-05:00

"He

who

has not

Christmas

in his heart

will never

find it

under a tree."

~Roy L. Smith

It is not the day, it is the spirit of birth and living.

It is not in the giving, it is in the sharing.

It is not in the memory making, it is the faith

and hope that the future world will be a better

place because you believe in good will to all men.

Today, have gratitude for the world God has given

to all men.

Today, from your heart, celebrate the beginning

of a better life because you do not worship the tree

or what is underneath it.

Happiness is knowing the reason for the season.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Peace On Earth

2010-12-24T06:35:00.004-05:00

''Then pealed

the bells

more loud

and deep:

"God is

not dead;

nor doth

He sleep;

The wrong shall fail,

The right prevail,

With peace on earth, good will to men."

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Today, put yourself on the right side of your loving

Higher Power, the side that will prevail.

On the wrong side we have the mean, selfish,

self-centered, and angry people who have yet to accept

God's world, just as it is.

They are not bad people, they are sick people

who have no faith, no hope and many are under

the influence of the Devil's devices.

Prayers do work...

To be on the right side show kindnesses, share the love,

be patient and tolerant of the sick and suffering,

be the person God wants you to be.

Happiness is being on the right side with God.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

A Magic Wand

2010-12-23T06:25:00.005-05:00

"Christmas
waves
a magic
wand
over this
world,
and behold,
everything
is softer
and
more beautiful."

~ Norman Vincent Peale

Life is an attitude; today,

make sure yours is an attitude of gratitude.

As the days grow shorter and the solstice passes

have faith, God will make sure that the Son and

the sun will return to make this world a better place.

Today, know that a warm smile and a kind word will go a

long way toward making this world softer and more beautiful.

Christmas may be the season but the real reason is to

share the love all year long, to possess the magic wand of joy

and to grow in the wisdom to know peace.

Happiness is owning the magic wand.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Is Enough, Enough ??

2010-12-22T06:23:00.005-05:00

"It is not

how much

you give,

but

how much

you have

left over

after giving

that God counts"

~ Godwin Penrhyn-Lowe

Still giving.

Not just because it is the season,

but because it is the reason.

It is the thought that counts.

When you give of yourself you are validating

that you are the person God wants you to be.

Enough is in the eyes of the child who has been

taught kindness and love.

Enough is in the heart of a mother who knows her

family is safe and warm.

Enough is in the soul of the man who is willing

to share the love and his world with his fellow man.

Everyone has enough to give.

Happiness is giving more than enough.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Words

2010-12-21T06:37:00.000-05:00

"Words

should be

employed

as the

means,

not the end;

language

is the instrument,

conviction is the work." ~ Joshua Reynolds

Talk, talk, talk, talk....

All talk and no action makes Jack a dull boy.

The more words one uses correctly the better

the meaning is conveyed, however, if the listener

or the reader does not know the word or interprets

the word differently, the instrument is making

a noise that is falling on deaf ears.

Walk the walk, show me by your conviction and actions

that you are willing to be kind, loving, patient and tolerant,

the person your Higher Power expects you to be.

Thank you God.

Happiness is knowing how to use the right words

at the right time.

Giving

2010-12-20T06:46:00.004-05:00

"I hate

the

giving

of the hand

unless

the whole

man

accompanies it."

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Body, mind and soul, give, give and give.

Do the will of a loving Higher Power and

give kindness,

give love,

give others the benefit of the doubt,

and above all,

give all the glory to a God of your understanding.

Do not just give a hand out but give a hand up.

God will not count what you give, He will count

how much you have left over

after you have given all that you can.

Happiness is having a willingness to give.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Mistake

2010-12-19T06:39:00.005-05:00

"The

greatest

mistake

we make

is living

in constant

fear

that we will make one." ~ John C. Maxwell

It is not a mistake to try.

Try to be kind.

Try to be loving.

Try to be patient and tolerant.

Try to be the person God wants you to be.

Accept God's world, just as it is, because

God makes no mistakes.

Today, have no fear, have faith,

know that a Higher Power will give you

the strength and courage to do the next right thing.

Today, if you are sharing the love and it comes from

a caring and willing heart, know that your soul

Shine

2010-12-18T06:29:00.002-05:00

"And

as we

let our

own

light

shine,

we

unconsciously

give other

people

permission to do the same." ~ Nelson Mandela

Today, make a conscious effort to join your light with

the light of your kind and loving fellow earthlings

to make this whole world bright and cheery.

If it lives, it has a light within it, somewhere.

If it is dark and nasty, mean and miserable,

show it your light so that it may see the way.

Today, know that the source of your shine is

a loving Higher Power.

Today, know that everything has a name and

a shine and you should give the proper respect

to all of God's creations and you should allow

your and their lights to shine wherever and

on whomever God wants it to.

Today, know that kindness, love, patience and

tolerance can only magnify your brilliant shine.

What People Really Think

2010-12-17T06:52:00.006-05:00

"To know

what people

really think,

pay regard

to what

they do,

rather than

what they say."

~ George Santayana

Lead, follow or get out of the way,

at the appropriate time.

Please engage the brain before running the mouth.

Do not be surprised when you realize

that many people do no think.

"I cannot believe what you just did."

God, grant me the serenity to accept..

the people whom I cannot change...

God give me the courage to change my attitude

and to accept as He does, this sinful world as it is,

not as I would have it.

Today, we must know, have faith, that He will

make all things right, if we surrender to His will.

Today, walk the walk, do not just talk the talk.

Happiness is thinking and doing the right way.

Promise

2010-12-16T06:14:00.006-05:00

"Love

is a

promise,

love

is a

souvenir,

once given

never forgotten,

never let it disappear." ~ John Lennon

God declared emphatically that you are loved,

and that is a promise.

If you are sad, lonely, or despondent, that is O.K.,

because when you get your mind on straight, when

you remember to think gratitude, God, friends,

and family, you will lift yourself out of your doldrums

and you will better understand what happiness really is.

Today, just remember not to jump off of the end of the

seesaw when you love is on the other end, remember to

hold onto you love when the roller coaster is making

its plunge, remember to have your love to help you keep

the train on the track, and remember to kiss your love when

your Ferris wheel car is both at the top and at the bottom.

Today, remember to buy the souvenir so that you

and your love can enjoy the memory of the rides.

Happiness is a promise to just have fun.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Talent

2010-12-15T06:29:00.005-05:00

"The man

who is born

with a talent

which he

was meant

to use

finds his

greatest happiness

in using it."

~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Do not worry or fret concerning what is God's will for you,

just live every day to it's fullest.

God will give you the chance, it is your choice to do

the next right thing.

It may be just a single moment, it may be your entire lifetime,

or it may be your legacy, but it is not ours to know what God's

purpose for us is to be, it is just our responsibility not to

miss the chance when God gives it to us.

If you do not know what your talent is, do not be dismayed.

A smile, a kind word, the desire to make this world a better place,

a God incident, there are no coincidences, just be ready to do your

best, God already knows what your talents are.

Today, be multi talanted, be kind, be loving, be patient and

tolerant and just try to be the person God wants you to be.

Happiness is being talented at being yourself.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

We See

2010-12-14T06:21:00.002-05:00

"Happiness

does not

depend on

outward things,

but on

the way

we see them"

~ Count Leo Tolstoy

To see the very small print we all need glasses.

Today, make sure your glasses are not on backwards.

Today, make sure the glasses you are wearing were

prescribed by the loving Optometrist of the Universe.

If you see anger and hate today, find new friends.

If you see ugly and mean today, move on to better places.

If you are not surrounded by a family that knows kindness

and love, adopt a new family.

Today, avoid the small print, the expectations and

conditions that cause resentments, keep your vision clear,

and let your attitude of gratitude be the source

of your happiness.

Happiness is being able to say, I can see clearly now.

Body, mind and soul.

Earth, wind, and water.

What was, what is, and what ever shall be,

and all of this and all of that, is the perfect

design of a Power that is greater than we can

or could ever comprehend.

"There are

as many

nights as days,

and the one

is just as long

as the other

in the year's course.

Even a happy life

cannot be without

a measure of darkness,

and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning

if it were not balanced by sadness." ~ Carl Jung

Into every life a little rain must fall.

Learn to mourn, learn to grieve, let go and let God.

Have faith that the Devine Creator made this world

for everything to have a reason and a season.

Love is the reason and the seasons never end.

Move on, remembering that without the rain there

would be no rainbow and without the rain there would

be no flowers.

You may not think that you are perfect, however,

God did not make any junk and you are perfectly

capable of doing the will of a loving Higher Power.

God will give you the chance, the choice is yours.

Responsibility is admitting that maybe we did not

always make the right choice.

Grandiosity and complacency are my greatest enemies.

Today, I must open the door to my heart

Routine

"The

less

routine

the

Amos Bronson Alcott

Bad habit, rut, routine or just a simple

obsessive compulsive behavior can wring the life

out of the soul.

What is simple minded about a mindless routine

is that it is often done without feeling.

Today, rely on the Spirit of the Universe to give you

the intuitive understanding to avoid the mindless routine

and negative feelings that are a cancer to your soul.

Today, even if it is a routine, do it with feeling.

Today, most importantly, do what you do from the heart,

with good, kind, loving and caring feelings.

Today, get out of the rut, think outside of the box,

look for God to give you the chance to be kind,

to be patient and tolerant, to share the love

Laughter is the best medicine.

If the people you hang with have a warped sense of humor,

can't laugh, won't laugh, find some new people to hang with.

If the places you go to do not tickle your funny bone, make

you sad and depressed, find a new place to visit, or live.

If you rely upon the things in your life to make you happy,

you need to get a new life.

Today, look for the smiles, listen for the jocundity,

locate the source of the cachinnation and seek out

the people, places and things that will make you laugh.

to laugh in the face of adversity, to show you the way

to happy, joyous and free.

Every Right

2010-12-03T07:07:00.004-05:00

"Tolerance

is giving

to every

every right

that you

claim

for yourself."

~ Robert Green Ingersoll

As humans we often take our rights for granted,

the right to think or have an opinion, the right to feel,

the right to make choices with which we are

comfortable with.

To protect your rights, respect the rights of others.

Their opinions are theirs, their emotions are theirs,

their choices are theirs, and if you are patient and tolerant,

kind and loving, God will lead you to find people, places

and things which respect the rights of everyone.

Mean people have no right.

The right that we shoul cherish the most is the

right to do the next right thing, the will of the loving

God of your understanding.

Happiness is respecting every right, yours and theirs.

The Lesser Evil

2010-12-02T06:22:00.001-05:00

"Never open

the door

to the

lesser evil,

for other

and

greater ones

invariably

slink in

after it." ~ Baltasar Gracian

One bad habit leads to another, a little white lie

becomes a black hole of insanity, a borrowed minute

becomes hours of idle wasted time, a quick cheat

becomes an affair that wrecks many lives.

Lying, cheating, or stealing are the Devils handiwork

and the price to pay is shame, guilt and remorse.

Today, be a good sentinal of your door and let in

only the kind, the loving, the patient and tolerant

the happy, joyous and free .

Today, start with an attitude of gratitude, maintain

a constant contact with your Higher Power, and

seek to do the will of the God of your understanding

and know that the rewards are sobriety, serenity,

and peace of mind.

Dying Mind

"A

~ Edna Ferber

Honesty, Open-minded and Willing to change

are the keys to a life that is happy, joyous and free.

HOW you look at things is

HOW they will look back at you.

A closed mind will miss all the fun.

A closed mind will grow stale and moldy

inside the box.

We will all die soon enough, why should

you die mentally before your time is up.

Today, as long as the package comes wrapped in love,

be willing to open the gift of knowledge and do your

best to make this world a better place.

Today, know that your open mind will see God smile.

Honor Love

2010-11-30T06:24:00.004-05:00

Look up to and elevate those who think of others, share

the love and understand that God does not make any junk.

Honor is your true worth and stature based on the

Hope

2010-11-28T08:16:00.000-05:00

"Today is not

yesterday:

we ourselves

change;

how can our

works and

thoughts,

if they are

always to be the fittest, continue always the same?

Change, indeed is painful; yet ever needful;

and if memory have its force and worth,

so also has hope." ~ Thomas Carlyle

The only constant in God's world is that things will change.

What you hope for, what you work for, what you live for,

even your understanding of your Higher Power, will change.

Grow wise, accept, have gratitude, embrace the challenge

of the change and know that God will not bring to you

anything that He will not see you through.

Always remember that the joy is in the journey,

if you are happy now you will be happy

when you reach your destination.

Happiness is hope that things will change.

Cheap

2010-11-27T06:57:00.010-05:00

"Real

happiness

is cheap

enough,

yet

how dearly

we pay

for its

counterfeit."

~ Hosea Ballou

Happiness is an attitude that dwells within your soul.

People, who you may rely upon to give you happiness

may not always be there when you need them.

Places, that you may depend upon to give you happiness

will change tomorrow because God's world is always changing.

Things, that you think will make you happy will disappear,

become old and broken, become obsolete, and eventually

will be throw out by the children.

Today, be cheap, have a happy soul.

Today, don't pay for the counterfeit,

rely on God to give you what you need.

Today, be grateful, and if you look closely enough

you will discover that God has already given you

everything you need to be happy.

Happiness is not paying for the counterfeit.

Fear

2010-11-26T06:34:00.004-05:00

"Fear

is

pain

arising

from

the

anticipation

of

evil." ~ Aristotle

Evil, calamity, disaster, hurt feelings or a stubbed toe

will cause the pain, the fear is how you handle it.

Fear not, let go and let God.

Fear less, learn to avoid the evil, the mean people,

the places where disaster is pending, and above all

watch where you are walking.

Fear is not knowing.

If you do not know, ask a friend, reach out for help,

look for opinions from both sides of the fence and

seek to put balance in your life.

Do not try to hide from fear by ritual or worship,

but allow your soul to bask in the Light of Knowing,

a loving Higher Power who will teach you faith.

Happiness is giving your fears to God.

Retribution

2010-11-25T06:39:00.003-05:00

"An

Retribution is payment for both good and bad,

but what about the accidents?

Could the accident have been prevented or was the

action premeditated??

People, places and things in your life will be better

if you seek the better and the accidents will occur

less frequently.

Keep kindness and love in your heart, practice patience

and tolerance and you will not have as many accidents.

It is no accident when you are doing the will of your

loving Higher Power, the God of your understanding.

Today, be not judge and jury, ask your Higher Power

to show you how love can be the best retribution.

Happiness is no accident and requires no retribution.

"Whoever

God will not let you get away with anything that is not kind,

loving, patient and tolerant and the best that you can be.

Guilt, shame and remorse are the rewards for being mean,

selfish, self-centered, grandiose and arrogant because in

the end it is always just between you and God.

Life is the mirror and the people, places and things that you

choose to surround yourself with will reflect your true heart.

Today, no matter where you go, no matter who you go with,

let your mirror be bright and shiny and a good reflection

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Just keep talking and you will eventually tell me

how little you know.

Today, it is the actions, not the words, that will

show God and His world where your heart is.

Be kind, hold the door open, and if you need words,

please and thank you will suffice.

Be loving, smiles and hugs work well, and if words are

needed, tell someone that God loves them and so do you.

Be patient and tolerant, bite your tongue, no toe tapping,

no big sighs, just words of encouragement to get on with

doing the will of your loving Higher Power.

Be the person God wants you to be, a good example,

all action and very few words.

Need a word, can't find the right expression, pray,

There is a God today, and it is not you.

Don't worry, be happy, take, make, do whatever

Simple is I.

I love, I need and God will provide.

Complex is we.

Is that what we, us, they, want or need ?

Worry, stress, unrealistic expectations, fear,

and all of the negative thoughts and feelings

could drive a insane person to drink.

When is enough, enough??

Keep it simple; when I think of others and I do,

from a kind and loving heart, what I and my God

"Flatter

Faith without action is dead.

God has made this world reciprocal:

you give, you get;

you get and you share what you get,

and you will receive more.

Good alone is selfish, self-centered, smug,

complacent, grandiose, self-flattering and mean.

Have faith, God was wise to make us feel better

only by sharing the good.

Charity begins at home, a good place to practice, but

it lives on in the works that do the will of a loving God,

Mahatma Gandhi

Patience begins at home.

God, family, friends, neighbors, fellow travelers,

church, synagogue, temple, wat, mosque, tribe, or

whatever meeting you may attend, your patience

must always begin with Self.

What disturbs us about others is usually what we find

wrong in ourselves; grandiose, arrogant, liar, cheater

"I think

The definition of gentle is doing the will of a loving Higher Power.

he lurks in the shadows, he occupies the heart of mean and

angry people, however, it is important to impart that knowledge

how to handle life on God's terms.

Prayer is a conversation, from the heart, and meditation

How big a person are you ?

Is your heart big enough to hold a basket full of kindness ?

Is your mind large enough to comprehend a bushel of love ?

Is you soul spacious enough to encompass a Universe that

a Higher Power made for all of His creation to share ?

Think big, do big, and be big in the eyes of the God of your

normal and natural way of being just another soul.

Thank God we are all different, no one can imagine how boring

this world would be if we all met the same standards and

~ Fyodor Dostoevsky

Love everyone.

The Latin language did it right when they had

three separate words for love; amo, amas, amat,

I love, you love, they love.

I love my soul mate, that one special person in my life

who is my better half, the person who completes me,

the person who walks beside me as we seek to do God's will.

You love family and friends, those people who share

a common blood bond, a spirit of togetherness,

a desire to help each other do the will of their Higher Power.

They love everyone, a love for God's world just as it is,

to be shared, improved and delivered to the next generation

Do not antagonize yourself today, harbor no hateful thoughts,

Lying is the lazy souls attempt to avoid doing the will of God.

Lying always harms yourself much more than it hurts others.

The Devil designed false looks, crooked smiles and evil acts

to justify the ways of the lazy liar.

The body changes, in spite of ourselves.

The mind is in constant motion and the word

change does not adequately describe what

we were thinking about just a millisecond ago.

The heart however, can only be changed when the feelings

are in tune with the soul, the will of your Higher Power.

Oneness

2010-10-28T06:15:00.001-04:00

"When

I think

of someone

as somehow

different

from me,

a wall

comes up

between

their heart and mine.

When I remember our oneness,

the wall disappears." ~Betsy Otter Thompson

A soul is a soul is a soul, young, old, boy, girl,

black, white, yellow, red, aboriginal, immigrant,

legal or illegal, a heart beats in every one.

Body, mind and spirit, we are on this earth

for a very short time with the obligation to do

the will of a loving Creator.

Be kind, be loving, be patient and tolerant,

build no walls and most importantly, be the person

God wants you to be, the soul who makes life on this

Truth

2010-10-27T07:02:00.002-04:00

"The

greatest

friend of

truth

is Time,

her greatest

enemy

is Prejudice,

and her

constant companion

is Humility." ~ Charles Caleb Colton

Truth and honesty are inseperable, but we must

remember that what one honestly believes to be true

could be wrong if seen from another side, another angle

or another perspective.

Time will change the side you are on, the angle from

which you see things and how you may perceive things.

Child like, the teenager who wants to be, the young adult,

the almost mature adult, the old timer who will never

grow up or the truly humble, honest and wise saint

will all have different truths.

Today, be prepared to be wrong, no matter how honestly

and truly you believe what you have seen or heard is real.

Today, be a friend of the truth, be patient, time will tell,

do not be prejudiced, be tolerant of those who cannot change,

and most importantly, be humble, no matter whether you are

right or wrong.

Happiness is accepting todays truth.

Going Down

"Facilis

Averni"

"Easy

Gravity and time are the weapons of the Devil.

Self will is the road that spirals down hill and keeps

going faster and faster as the Devil pulls you down.

One little lie becomes many, one little cheat becomes

a tangled affair, one little theft becomes and avalance

of selfish, self-centered, more, more, more,

and a thousand is never enough.

The will of your loving Higher Power is to be kind,

loving, patient and tolerant and to aim high.

Today, know that Heaven defies gravity and once there,

time becomes eternal.

Today, beware of gravity, do not waste God's time,

and choose only the battles that you know you can win.

"The

quiet

lives."

~ Euripides

The quiet is giving God the opportunity to speak.

The mind finds it difficult to listen for the quiet,

to sense the intuitive feelings that allow us to choose

to do the next right thing.

Listen with your heart and soul to seek the will of a

loving Great Creator, the Spirit of the Universe,

the Light of All Being.

"Aim

Be not

Henry David Thoreau

It is good to be good by trying to do your best,

but it is better to be really good at making

this world a better place by using the talents

and skills given to you by your loving Higher Power.

Today, choose to be really good at doing something.

God will give you the chance, the choice is yours;

have good kind thoughts about others,

have good patience and tolerance of others,

make a conscious decision to maintain a good contact

with your Higher Power.

When we do good for others, God will do good for us.

Opposite

2010-10-23T06:41:00.002-04:00

"Almost

every

wise

saying

has an

opposite

one,

no less

wise,

to balance it." ~ George Santayana

It is not doing the opposite that gets us in trouble,

it is doing the extreme that puts us over the edge.

Smart is learning from your own mistakes,

wise is learning from the efforts of others.

Today, do not just seek out the mistakes to learn from,

look at all the wonderful successes that God creates

every day and be wise enough to also learn from them.

Be wise to keep balance in your life.

Today, be just kind enough, share the love,

do not be patient and tolerant to a fault, and when

all else fails, be wise enough to ask God for help

to keep you in balance; body, mind and soul.

Happiness is being wise enough to know the opposite.

directions that are kind, loving, patient and

tolerant,and learn to obey the voices that suggest

you do the will of God.

Sacrifice

"Love

is not

a feeling

of happiness.

Love

is a

willingness

to sacrifice." ~ Michael Novak

Happiness is two souls sharing the same path.

Give me all of your love

and I will give you all of mine, unconditionally.

Those who have expectations, reservations and

resentments, those who are selfish and self-centered,

have no clue that to sacrifice means to share.

Today, share your path, you dream, your desire

to do the next right thing with someone

who is willing to give it their all.

Kindness is being tolerant of self, others and God.

Kindness is being the person God wants you to be.

How simple can it be, just be nice.

Pray for the sick and suffering, the selfish and

The Spirit of the Universe flows around

We are one with the stars, one with the universe,

one with God.

The pulse of a Higher Power is the heart and soul

that carries kindness and love through the veins

of our very being.

makes to disrupt the pulse of God's world, and

Eternally Real

"Spirit

real

and

temporal."

~ Mary Baker Eddy

Today is the day to be real.

People, places and things are yesterday's history,

tomorrow is a mystery, but the spirit is, was and

always will be present.

Today, be kind and loving to the people you meet,

enjoy the places you go and and know that things

do not really matter because your spirit can't take

them with you when God says that your time

on this Earth is over.

As many good spiritual people have said;

it is better to die having lived a good life only to find

that there is no Heaven, than to have lived a bad life

and then find out there is one.

The good life is to make as many people as happy

as you can, to make all the places you go better

because you were there and to leave a legacy

of things that will make the next generation or two

have a good life and maybe they will remember

your spirit as being eternal.

Happiness is knowing what is eternally real.

The Lesser

2010-10-12T06:33:00.005-04:00

"Constantly

choosing

the lesser

of two

evils

is still

choosing

evil."

~ Jerry Garcia

God gives you the chance and the chance always

has in it's history, at it's root, the first opportunity

to do good.

Your body, mind and soul each have their chance

to do good.

It is just unfortunate that the Body, the flesh,

has a history of being prone to know evil,

the mind is easily confused by the Devil,

therefore it is the Soul that we must learn to rely

upon to show us the pathway to happy, joyous and free.

Those whose souls are lost are always faced with choosing

the lesser of two evils, the cravings of the body

or the obsessions of the mind.

Today, go to the root, go back in history and learn to ask

your loving Higher Power for the courage and strength

to let your soul choose to do the next right thing.

Happiness is is never having to choose a lesser path.

Quitting is the easy way out.

Quitting is not giving your soul the chance to do the

a loving Higher Power of your understanding.

Today, keep the promise to be kind to all, even the

mean and ugly people who have no idea where their

soul resides.

Today, keep your promise to love unconditionally,

even the selfish and self-centered who have no idea

what a true heart is.

What is true to me may not be true to you,

and who but God is to argue who is right.

To keep balance in God's world there is always

a right and a wrong, a dark and a light, a yin and a yang,

a past and a future, a knowledge and a belief and if we are

doing the will of a loving Higher Power we will never argue,

we will have faith that the truth is always somewhere

near the middle.

God's middle, not yours and not mine.
