ACTION...

 ACTION...



'Action speaks louder than words...'

A strange beginning for a writer, yet so true. I can spend my life dreaming, yet only my actions will bear good results.  Sometimes, perhaps during the night, I wake up with a good thought, perhaps a poem or a story line.

Yes, lovely thought, yet if I don't have pen and paper handy and am able to write it down immediately, it may well be lost forever. This is a good way to learn about the value of living in the present moment.  

When one is relaxed and open to being inspired, gems of great value are free to come. The critic is asleep and the 'child within' is eager and willing to respond. Of course the practical side of having paper and pen ready is important. 

For myself, it can be hard to act in the moment and respond to inspiration, yet I have so many proofs of the benefit of doing so  Some people talk about writers block, I would encourage Action!

REJOICE...


We are coming to the end of the Year 2024 and hopefully ready to embrace ALL that is NEW!

Of course, Christmas is yet to be and is the very best of all that can be NEW.     We begin a new chapter in our lives, a new awareness of what is best in life, LOVE of course and a relationship with our Creator,  GOD.

As we develop and grow older, maybe not wiser, yet we know that in many ways we have failed to respond to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.  Self gets in the way of progress.  We become like an old person who can no longer hear properly.

Not only our hearing / also our mind is dulled by our attachments to so many habits and things of no real importance, except to our distracted mind.

So how can we REJOICE? We may even feel discouraged, yet do not worry. Remember we have God with us, and are loved by this Creator of all.  Imagine, the reality of being loved by God!

Rejoice and be happy to be less and allow God to be more a part of who we are. Rejoice, rejoice and all is well!
