Give God a chance!

 No matter how we feel, it is our choices that determine who we are and how we are.
It's so easy to be fooled by how we feel.  We may be on top of the world with excitement and be deflated two minutes later.  This is not reality, just feelings.
We could be sick / upset / discouraged / excited etc.  
All these emotions can cause us to behave in strange ways. 
The truth of who we are and how we are will depend on why we feel the way we do.
It's simple really.  We are just human and even the weather can have an effect on how we feel.
Prayer is a good way to deal with awkwardness.  Be guided by Truth and allow God to have  imput in our lives.  He's always interested in our happiness, more so even than we are.
Give God a chance!

Being Creative!

We all have the gift and ability to be creative.
We can add a personal imprint to what we do and what we believe in.
This unique quality that is inherent in each one of us cannot be denied. 
We may lose sight of our ability to be a creative person, yet even this denial cannot change the truth of this wonderful gift that lies in the heart of each one of us.
That's why it's so important to reach up to the unknown, as yet, and let this great gift of creativity come to life.
The Gospel tells us not to hide our Light...
Each soul is a light that can light up the world and dispel the darkness.
Let your light shine.  Be creative!

STATE OF WEAKNESS

I woke up this morning with a head-cold.  Not a great start for all my many plans to catch up on work and creative projects etc.
Resting helped me in feeling better and more rest and relaxation helped with sanity and peace of mind.
Strange really, how a state of weakness can cause us to feel unbalanced and yet perhaps, it's only when we are able to face weakness that we become normal.
The gift of life is precious and all of us have limited time to make the most of our lives.
Good to remember that quality is superior to quantity.
Sometimes we almost run away with ourselves with all the ideas and things we want to do.
Yet, relax and reflect, even for a short time and sanity will be returned with interest.
A state of weakness will help us to re-evaluate our lives and become aware of what is most important in life,
simply enjoy ourselves.

LOVE

Life can be a busy place for most of us. 
There is so much to do and so much we want to do that time keeps running out.
Yet, this could be a fallacy on our part because life is given as a gift, an opportunity to grow in love.
When this is our main purpose in life then we are centered on what is most important, LOVE.
For the Christian-minded person, Love represents the Presence of God in our lives.
When we are focused on loving, we are focused on God.
We have the Power and Support of God in our lives.
There is no need to look at our short-comings.
We are free to become aware of God's Loving Presence in our lives and so develop into a loving, caring person.
Love is the answer to ALL!
