A place of tranquility

Today I ask God to release my fear and anxiety, to strengthen my faith and to bring me peace. I know God only wants the best for me and will lead me to where I will be at peace, can be the most productive, and serve Him at the same time.

God loves me and only wants what is best for me. He knows my needs and what is in my future. He is trying to prepare a place for me and to lead me to the still waters that will restore my soul. God will shine a light of love around it and I will know I am home for now, until He leads me elsewhere, or I join him in heaven.

There for the asking

Beauty and wonder are ours for the asking. Serenity is a possibility for anyone who chooses to journey toward it. Peace is a reality we can all claim. It is the easiest thing to attain. Just ask God and open your heart to all He is waiting to give you.

It is a magnificent place to be, at peace with yourself, at peace with God, and at peace with the world. Don't agonize over trivial worries, give them to God and He will resolve them. Be open. Open your heart. Release your spirit, and bear your soul.

Relax. Open your eyes to all the beauty around you. Smile. Seek not only to receive but learn to give, truly give. Give from the heart, joyfully. Bless those you meet along life's way. Be open to angels in your life. They are truly there. And when you take off the blinders of worry and fear you recognize them.

Greet life in peace and joy.

This is what it's all about

Evolution of time marches on, but some things do not change, like the face of a child searching the audience for a parent's face and then when they find them - that moment of relief and then pride. You notice them lean over to a friend and then point you out only this time you're there as a grandma watching the next generation and it still feels wonderful.

And the hug afterwards when you tell them how wonderful they were and how proud you are, the glow and the beaming smile are your reward. And then later you go back in time remembering and reminisce with your own child and the pride is a recognition of your own and they are remembering too.

You share a bond at that time and it's good to be included. This is family, this is love, this is what life is all about, to love one another.

Adventures with God

Maybe it's time to conquer my fears. To have faith that God will watch over me and let me be at peace with Him. He is with me always. God alone is my power and my strength, my peace, and tranquility. This life is our adventure, together.

Into the vortex

The darkness is fear
of losing, and forgetting
all that we hold dear
the loss so perplexing
on this aging frontier
we're pulled into the vortex

Retreat

May we learn to be more mindful of each day and all the wonder and blessings it contains. May we learn to recognize the God-Self in the world around us. God speaks to us in many ways. May we be aware of his messages.

There is music of God and the angels appearing in songs every day, there is the internal voice of knowledge we receive when we become calm, that speaks to us. We have a sense of overwhelming love when we become quiet and open our heart.

God wants us to remind others of the possibilities open to them, especially the possibilities of love and joy available to us all. God is the highest form of pure love beyond any physical love we could ever experience.

Be open to receive His love for it is itself pure joy. Nature, God's gift to us, is a place for us to walk in the beauty of His creation, to feel the trees of life and experience the animals and birds in a myriad of variety.

Where you can hear the trees speak through the wind and the quiet and truly open your consciousness. Open spaces and forest areas are conductive to this. When something keeps cropping up in your mind, it is a message, follow the thought and act on it. Release into the retreat.

Love Rising

Once more alone, my daydreams few
my heart palpitating from the sound
of sweating bodies upon the ground
dangerous thoughts remember you
within my dreams enact anew
of passion spent, once easily found
I feel your love rising,
entering my sacred mound
