I am very happy…. Because I have conquered myself…. and not the world. I am very happy…. Because I have loved the world and not myself.

If today, I am a canvas…… then I wonder how my day will proceed…. at the end of the day, it will no longer be blank, but will I like what I see.
Yesterday I felt unsettled and knew that I was not blending my thoughts into what I felt was a harmonious “vision”
I was falling into a familiar trap.. the actions of others was causing me hurt and negative thoughts.
My father always told me that no one else could hurt or harm me with their words or actions, it was how I was receiving and internalizing the incoming energy. It is easy to put the blame on others.. but.. the reality is, if I am disappointed, or let down, it is because I had to have had an expectation.
Homework was/is required.
I’ll start a new canvas.. the one that is incompatible with my current
“need” I will set aside and revisit later if it can’t be fixed, it will have to be moved along…
I asked a friend for some information, startled he asked me why I needed it, I replied, so when I die my son will have the information he will need. His reply was “don’t die”…
If life were that simple.
reminder… Thanksgiving service is at 7 pm ..
Be thankful at the beginning and end of each day. Each and every one of your actions can inspire peace within your family your community and the world around you. This peace will eventually help lead to World Peace

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives Height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree growing in the sky, and sadness is like the roots growing down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes simultaneously The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.

Relaxing, is part of living. Don’t make it all work and no play. -Q
I recently did special prayers for someone in my life. I knew how important it was for him to connect with a family member. Due to circumstances, this was an impossibility. The thought had been in my heart, and on my mind for some time, but I had not action-ed my thought.
Sunday after service, I asked to do special prayers with the Sr. Minister. I prayed with faith in my heart, and let it go.
Today in speaking with my friend, I heard the joy in his voice, the opportunity to speak with his loved one had taken place. I was moved to tears. The emotion of the experience was so great.
In my lifetime, I have seen and felt many beautiful happenings. This particular blessing has reaffirmed for me the power of prayer. I have so much gratitude in my heart this evening.
In PL, we can receive personal consultations, or prayers tailored to our individual characters and situation. In this instances I prayed for my friend and his happiness.. In his happiness, I found contentment.
I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things. #4
