You have a unique message to deliver, a unique song to sing, a unique act of love to bestow. This message, this song, and this act of love have been entrusted exclusively to the one and only you.

-John Powell

Slow down and be purposeful in everything you  say, think and do.

Like rushing water, every moment will be gone quickly and there leaves a lasting effect too.

Deliver us, we pray thee, from the tyranny of trifles. Teach us how to listen to the prompting of thy Spirit, and thus save us from floundering in indecision that wastes time, subtracts from our peace, divides our efficiency, and multiplies our troubles. Amen

-Peter Marshall

 

Some spiritual math there for you. But this quote made me think about what our group was reading about in bible study yesterday, in Matthew chapter 26. The story of the woman pouring the EXPENSIVE perfume over Jesus. It made me think of how logically the disciples were correct in their thinking but also this woman was bang on in her discernment because she was thinking with her faithful heart. So there, in my opinion proves the point that a following believer of Christ doesn't go strictly by rules (legalism) but continually turns to the Lord for direction and discernment. We obey and follow then because we love Him.

Life holds no sweeter thing than this- To teach a little child the tale most loved on earth
And watch the wonder deepen in his eyes
The while you tell him of the Christ Child's birth; The while you tell of shepherds and a song,
Of gentle drowsy beasts and fragrant Hay
On which that starlit night in Bethlehem
God's tiny Son and His young mother lay.

-Adelaide Love

 

A Merry Christmas to You!

This was just some of the beauty I saw on a walk this moring with my mum. All the freshly fallen snow was still beautifully coating everything.

It is possible for us to live in the very sense of the Lord's presence, under even the most difficult circumstances. If you and I are going to enjoy the peace of paradise during this life, we must become accustomed to a familiar, humble, and very affectionate conversation with the Lord Jesus.

"God help us to live slowly, to move simply, to look softly, to allow emptiness, to let the heart create for us. Amen."

Ferns and trilliums on the edge of the forrest.

If we are children of God,

we have a tremendous treasure in nature

and will realize that it is holy and sacred.

We will see God reaching out to us in every wind that blows,

every sunrise and sunset,

every cloud in the sky,

every flower that blooms,

and every leaf that fades. 

-Oswald Chambers

Happy People...enjoy the fundamental, often very simple things in life...They savour the moment, glad to be alive, enjoying their work, their families, the good things around them...Their eyes are turned outward; they are aware, compassionate. They have the capacity to love. -Jane Canfield

This was a sight that I had to capture, while we were driving down the highway!

Moments spent listening, talking, playing, and sharing together may be the most important times of all.
