SURPRISE...

It's almost a shock to the system when we are surprised by someone or something...

I suppose in many ways we are comfortable when we feel in control and have a good idea of what is happening and will happen.  Most times we can be wrong.

I believe God likes to surprise us.

When we are surprised, we have a chance to use our Faith and see God's Loving Hand in all that is happening to us and to our world at large.

The ability to use our faith and see beyond the normal events of our day, allows us to become a more centred and spiritual person.

God is not out to test us.  He loves us.

The element of surprise is often added to our lives as a gift, a way of seeing just how much God cares for us and is part and parcel of who we are and what we do.

Let's be open-hearted and allow God to surprise us more and more.

Love Weakness

It seems a strange thing to say, 'Love Weakness'  and yet this could well be the secret of inner happiness and peace of mind.

When we love weakness, we accept how we and who we are.  There is no judgement or regret or guilt.  In this way we learn to accept others as they are and who they are.

Loving a state of weakness allows us to be free from prejudices and judgements that can hamper our ability to see the truth of a situation. 

How this works is easy, we develop a love for what is the honest truth.

Perhaps I am tired or sick or jealous or whatever might be the emotional state that I am in.

No need for guilt, just acceptance.

God meets us where we are, not where we think we are or desire to be.

Just as we are, God loves us.

Shame for us not to love ourselves as we, imperfect and hopefully happy.

Welcome all that is New...

The Y2016 is here and bringing many changes to our lives.

We have begun with moving into a new home and learning to let go of the old... 

It's a great thing to move forward and have a willingness to let go of old ways and habits etc.

For some it may mean letting go of a loved one and moving on with their lives.

Grieving is important  of course and part of healing too.

It's a challenge to let go of a way of life we've become accustomed to and be open to whatever God has in mind for us.

Let's go forward and welcome all that is NEW.

God has a plan for each one of us. Embrace His Love.
