Show me and I will remember
Involve me and I will understand”

Spiritual maturity requires diligence, a clever mind and a trusting /loving heart.
A few ingredients for a good relationship are, respect, courtesy, appreciation and a dedication to the commitment, whatever that may be. Negative thinking is something that afflicts us all at one time or another. PL Precept # 15, All is a Mirror. No matter how often I revisit this Precept, it always presents me with a new perspective, life is an ongoing lesson, and I am the dedicated student. Part of living in the moment is accepting the feelings that can wash over me at any given time, The homework is applying myself to understanding the moment, and then letting it go. A negative moment, will only be so, if we don’t apply positive action (s).
Wherever life leads you
With whoever you are sharing
with another or on your own
“Always be with God”

Hi. I originally came over to say “thank you” for following my blog, but, naturally, when I saw all of this delightful stuff on here, I had to stop and look at pictures and read. I am enjoying your site immensely. But I stopped to comment here because I have just recently been thinking about Dorothy Hart and how I was a teenager enjoying her movies when she made that momentous decision to leave all of it and devote her life to service to God by becoming a nun. I was wondering how her life had worked out and if she is still alive today. I hadn’t gone online yet to try to find out, but I was so moved by the picture you included in this post. Thank you for sharing that. It has blessed me.
Ooooops, I see I said thanks for “following my blog”. What I was supposed to write was “Thank you for taking the time to read and like my post.” So sorry. But either way, I wanted to come over and visit to say I really do appreciate visits from others, and I’m very glad I came.
happiness is………… sharing =^_^=
