Put your heart into your words. Do you tend to speak in just a matter of fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words. PL 2022.19

Doorways, entrances, there is always a certain intrigue ..sometimes more obvious than others. Even at night, we are drawn to buildings because of an entrance/doorway. Some can be very deceiving, impressive and exciting on the outside, but uninviting once inside. Other doors or functional, strong and commanding, while inside there is calm and serenity.
Today I have combined the Thursday Door challenge that I participate in, and pictures of two of the Perfect Liberty churches. the streamline one on the left, is the PL Church in Hawaii, the bottom right is the Ottawa church, standing in front of the main entrance are, Rev Hiroki Matsuki and his wife, Yoshiko.
Reminder today is Ancestors Day, there will be a 10 a.m ceremony, if unable to attend, please take a moment for a short prayer mid morning if you can.
Today’s quote
Give thanks to your ancestors and to your parents. You exist today thanks to your ancestors and parents. Express your appreciation by devoting yourself for the sake of others and society. (PL 2015.11)
Note* In today’s prayers, make time to remember “All” who have touched your life in some way, been there for you, travelled some of your journey. Some may have been strangers, you met and never saw again, but the meeting left a lasting impression. Could be a voice at the other end of line, who when you needed kindness, was there for you. Gratitude and Appreciation are gifts we not only extend to others, but benefit our own lives.
Today being Thursday, as always if you want more doors, please visit Dan’s No Facilities site and enjoy the trip around the world enjoying the doors shared by other door bloggers. https://nofacilities.com/2024/04/11/alumni-doors/

Your surroundings reflect your state of mind. Everything that appears before you is a reflection of your state of mind. If you work to improve your mind and actions, then what appears in the mirror will also be well balanced.

Visiting with friends, I was looking for a picture to show them of a mutual friend, I had to go back through pictures posted many many years ago. Look what surfaced.. pictures of the days w hen I worked with a product called Powertex (that is a demo piece I did to advertise classes).. I combined the Powertex with another product, Apoxie Sculpt to do “garden/outdoor sculptures”. Interesting how something that was such a passion at one time, is now only a memory.

Offer your services instead of expecting from others. Take the initiative to do what you can to help others. Understand their needs and act swiftly.

Sometimes, you want to, but there are signs that suggest, you find another way. This morning I wanted to stay in bed, but the days calendar told me, I needed to change my direction, to a more productive start. Sigh, it was so cozy.
Always be cheerful, happy and good humored. When you make an effort to be cheerful and happy, you will naturally begin to feel that way,

I’m going to repeat this several times today, it works! =^_^=

How many times in your lifetime have you heard someone say… “You can’t see the forest for all the trees”.. when I first heard that expression, I went.. “wow” so true… now after years of going into the forest every morning to start my day.. I “see” the forest in a totally different way.. and yes there are a lot of trees, and there are a lot of things I do not actually “see” because every day/night there is something new happening in the woods.
So… I take in what I do see/feel and enjoy it… learn from it… and move on. This IS life, there are things we will experience with no rhyme or reason.. yet IF they present themselves in our “Present/moment of awareness” it is because there is something there for us. the Universe provides. It is in “living” our lives, that we grow and get to learn about the wonders around us.
Tell yourself “Things happen” Even if something is inconvenient, once you accept it you’ll be able to move onto the next step.
