A Must To Remember In 2015

from T. J. Grey

This day I will pay more attention to the gifts that are so graciously given to me everyday. I will treasure these gifts and share them with the world. 

My father and my mother, my brothers and my sisters, we are all loved.

How much money does it take to love your brothers and sisters? Honestly, what is your  problem? Do you feel lonely? How much money does it take to find someone who needs your love? Put your trust in God. Quit worrying and listen for the Holy Spirit's leading.

This is a quotation from T. J. Grey.

QUESTION:

Where do you go when your support disappears?

This I believe:

I believe that the seed of good and evil resides in each of us.

I believe that each of us is capable of committing acts of good and evil depending on which seeds we nourish. It is for us to choose.
I must work diligently to identify the acts of violence that I participate in knowingly or unknowingly and take action to make things right with the victims of said violence.
I believe that I should not stand in judgment of anyone.
I must never believe that violence can serve righteousness.
I must never believe that I am incapable of violence.
I must never believe that good is good if it is only for me and mine.
I believe that I will know peace only when I find it at the center of my being.
I believe that I will be an effective peacemaker in the world only to the degree that I know the peace that is at my center.
I believe in silliness.
I believe in taking “ME” lightly.
I believe in the spirit of play that is holy.
I believe in the holy human spirit.
I believe that this is the spirit of “LIFE”.

Be not anxious!

Be not anxious! Earthly possessions dazzle our eyes and delude us into thinking that they can provide security and freedom from anxiety. Yet all the time they are the very source of all anxiety. If our hearts are set on them, our reward is an anxiety whose burden is intolerable…. When we seek for security in possessions we are trying to drive out care with care, and the net result is the precise opposite of our anticipations. The fetters which bind us to our possessions prove to be cares themselves.

On Patience Training

I am an impatient person. I want to rush into things before I ever begin to think things through. I am trying to learn to be patient but I just don't seem to be getting very far with it. I am very impatient about my patience training. I want to learn how to be patient and I want to do it today right now. ~From Brother Ben's Notebook

A Confidence Builder

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.  --Louisa May Alcott

Distractions

Distractions are things that pull my mind from where I want it to be. It takes great concentration to resist the pull. There are so many eye catching distractions. I am amazed  that I am able to resist at all.
