Hello all,
my dad died last wednesday Nov. 11 of bowel cancer. He was 65, I am not yet 30, both my parents are gone and there are a lot of complications with this death. Please pray that I do not become bitter and pray for those who at this time who are also struggling!! People ask me what I need right now, and the biggest thing I need is to be reassured I am loved. I am also applying for adhd friendly work at a camp for hopefully my little family (my dogs) and I to have a home.

Hello All,

Wrap your lightning fast minds around this: Everything that God has done for us is in the spiritual! His work is eternally complete! Everything that God does in our lives flows from the finished work He completed in our spirit, including our connection to Him in The Spirit.

The exercise of our faith and authority in Christ is enacted, or transacted primarily and mostly through our verbal declarations, commands, prayers, and announcements.

This is why we need The Word of God to guide our life-conversation and declarations. Can I get a witness?

The Tree story sounded like some of the stories that my beloved grand mother would tell me . She taught me that god loved us all even with our flaws .

A Rumination for Saturday




Being What God Means Us To Be

Thomas Merton


A tree gives glory to God by being a tree. For in being what God means it to be it is obeying [God]. It 'consents,' so to speak, to [God's] creative love. It is expressing an idea which is in God and which is not distinct from the essence of God, and therefore a tree imitates God by being a tree.

The more a tree is like itself, the more it is like [God]. If it tried to be like something else which it was never intended to be, it would be less like God and therefore it would give [God] less glory....

This particular tree will give glory to God by spreading out its roots in the earth and raising its branches into the air and the light in a way that no other tree before or after it ever did or will do... .

The special clumsy beauty of this particular colt on this April day in this field under these clouds is a holiness consecrated to God by [God's] own creative wisdom and it declares the glory of God.

The pale flowers of the dogwood outside this window are saints. The little yellow flowers that nobody notices on the edge of that road are saints looking up into the face of God. This leaf has it own texture and its own pattern of veins and its own holy shape, and the bass and trout hiding in the deep pools of the river are canonized by their beauty and their strength. The lakes hidden among the hills are saints, and the sea too is a saint who praises God without interruption in her majestic dance.

The great, gashed, half-naked mountain is another of God's saints. There is no other like him. He is alone in his own character; nothing else in the world ever did or ever will imitate God in quite the same way. That is his sanctity.

But what about you? What about me?

That was absolutely beautiful! I totally agree with that, and trust me, I've got lots of holes that I am trying with all of my might to give to God and not take control myself. Everything for a reason I always say. Let God's will be done.
