Good afternoon everyone. Tomorrow service will be at 10: a.m. watch for the church e-mail advising you when and how to sign on.
new beginning – fresh young sprouts taken at the church this morning. We will all get through this.. one moment at a time. PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point.
Don’t give up! Stick with it, as many times as it takes. Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give up” but that’s the time for you to dig deep and push through. Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome.

Listening is not the same as hearing. You can hear something and tho’ you hear it, it is only sounds.. You are not LISTENING. Listening involves not only audio but movement. When someone listens, they are focused on the words, pauses and spaces. They have gone beyond hearing.
I am in the process of learning to listen more and talk less. OK. admits that works only some time…..but truly, we do need to listen to one another more. Learn not to talk at... but rather speak or try to express clearly to another what our intent is.
example… if I want someone to please me.. I first have to know what it is that pleases me.
Communicate today, include a smile. they work wonders.
When there are two different perspectives to a situation. Clearly Viktor sees no problem with his current state of “happiness; He has just come in from enjoying some creative time in the backyard. He dug himself the most amazing bed in the cool earth, There is obviously confusion on his human’s part.. after all, wasn’t the objective of the exercise for him to enjoy time outside in the fresh air.
When something comes to mind, do it right away. The moment that you notice something is the best time to take car of it. If you react quickly your life will be more efficient.

I’m sure Viktor was outside enjoying himself. What he hadn’t counted on was the human reaction to his “living in the moment” That happens, It is that ripple effect. WE are all arm chair detectives… what do you see when you look at Viktor’s reaction to his Human’s tirade.
I have Yoda in my living room and in the bedroom do you know Yoda, are you familiar with his philosophy.
A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.” “Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger… anger leads to hate… hate leads to suffering.”
Yoda
Do. Or do not. There is no try.”
Yoda, The empire strikes back
How has the last month been for you? Are you the same person you were, or do you feel that you have changed? How long have you been in a “changed” environment, or had your daily routine drastically edited, so that now, you are faced with the daily challenge of “living in the present”..
It is important to be assertive, but maintaining harmony is just as important. Say what is on your mind clearly, but don’t be overly attached to your views. Respect the points of view of others and always seek to find a happy medium.
En vez de exigir, ofrezca Primero empliece usted, realizando las cosas que pueda hacer. Hagalo agilmente, comprendiendo el sentimiento de su interlocutor,
Offer your services instead of expecting from others. Take the iniitiative to do what you can to help others. Understand their needs and act swiftly.
Em vez de exigit, ofereca. tome a iniciativa de fazer o que the e possivel. Seja presetativo, correspondendo ao sentimento do proximo.
Sometimes, driving in the rain is the best therapy for a busy mind…….. the wipers beat a steady rhythm as they travel from side to side all around you is the soft tapping as the rain falls against the car. It was wonderful… a natural healing lullaby just the ambiance I needed.
When you think “I’ve got it” think again. It is easy to misinterpret the situation and jump to conclusion. always have a humble attitude and double check to make sure.

Love doesn’t drop on you unexpectedly; you have to give off signals, sort of like an amateur radio operator.
Be thankful to your parents and to your ancestors. You are here today because the “torch of life” has been continuously passed down. Always remember to be thankful.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Khalil Gibran
Enjoying the moment, delighting in the colours, and the texture of what i had found. Gosh.. wonder what this is? I am enjoying the moment while I wait.
Desfrute do processo da espera. As coisas se concretizam no tempo certo. faca o que deve ser feito agora, sem apressar o resultado.
close your eyes, take in every piece of what I am, then close your eyes and memorize where each piece of me flows from me to you…. eventually, with time, we will fall away, turning to dust and be blown away… Q
Enjoy the moment while you wait.Things come about when they are meant to happen. think of what you can do for the time being, and don’t rush the outcome.
on each side it is flanked by a window, shut tight
the moss on the cement blocks leading to the door,
suggests that the steps have been there for awhile
how many times have the window panes been kissed by the rain
just when did the house fall silent
are there finger prints on the windows, of children looking out
If I knock, will someone come to the door
The house is so small and still, I can see right through to the back door.
just waiting for some kind of response .. I feel the house shift
it has been awhile, but it can still hear echos of its former lives
it sits silently aware that for a brief moment in time, someone came to visit
standing proud, it feels good, once more it served a purpose and was rewarded with a moment of appreciation.
Old homes, buildings, fences, cars, trucks, they are reminders that life is fragile, and fleeting, now more than any other time, is not the time to squander the joys of living, the true meaning of friendships, and genuine caring and understanding of the people, communities around us.
It is important to say “thank you” Everything that appears in front of you is all material for you to improve yourself whether its food, people or things. Learn to accept everything, whether it is something you like or not.
