Give Thanks for Unknown Blessings, Already on their Way

Give Thanks for Unknown Blessings, Already on their Way The preacher said that your best days are still ahead. Strangely, that is always true for the person of faith. It's because the Universe is all love. Thus, it cannot give but more of what we are genuinely thankful for. Love gives like the sun and rain, just because that is Love's Nature. Shams says, "We are saying thank you; Thank you is our practice." Sign in to see full entry.

Time to Act

23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. - Jesus Time to Act The Universe sent three dreams to urge me to act on my repentance. Not enough to be genuinely sorry, God asked me to go apologize and be reconciled. Shams says, "It is difficult to confess your wrong to another, but, often, necessary." Sign in to see full entry.

This Is the Day

This Is the Day THIS is the day the Lord has made. We can do ought, but rejoice in it. Unless, that is, we choose to complain instead, making this day, a celebration of mourning. The weeping meant just for a night has usurped the joy that would come in the morning. Rise early today, pilgrim. Shams says, "Put on your wedding clothes. All Creation calls you to joy."
