Happy today to you all!

It is raining here, wonderful big drops of rain are falling with abundance, when the wind blows in the right direction, I get a staccato of wet sloppy drops on the window teasing me with their determination. They are full of enthusiasm, they had to have read the PL teaching of the day- Act with Enthusiasm – =^_^=

Rain comes in many forms, gentle, pounding, steady, drizzle, light spray, when you are walking in the rain, as often happens if you have a dog(s) to walk, or if you are a jogger, you know that being in the rain is a totally all encompassing experience. Your sense of smell, sight, and sound are there, and so is that feeling of being wet. No, not like when you are in the shower, swimming or bathing. It is a totally different feeling. A downpour if you get caught in one unprepared can be drenching…..but once you are soaked, lets face it, what is left to do but enjoy the moment. If you think about it, life is pretty much like that. When life throws a wrench into your day, take it in, absorb the reality of that moment, take a deep breath and move on. That moment passed, you survived, gather your thoughts and move on. There is nothing you can’t handle when you take life one moment at a time.

BJ Thomas had a hit many years ago called ‘Raindrops are falling on my head” that song, has stayed with me for years. Although he had many hits back in the 60’s and 70’s this is the song I remember him most for. Enjoy!

Thursday another glorious day!

How is your day? I hope it is super fantastic. In Canada,we are heading into our Canada Day long week-end, lots of festivities planned for visitors coming to the capital. Heard on the news that astronaut Chris Hatfield will be here performing on the sound stage on Parliament Hill. He will also have a display of all the Twitter pictures he took while in space. I would imagine that our city will be buzzing all week-end with activities. Yesterday we saw people going to the Jazz festival site near City Hall. So many possibilities, so many options. Do you have plans?

Every day is a special day when we start the day with a smile and a positive attitude.

PL Principles #12 I will get up pleasantly in the morning.

When we ask someone for help, we do so with sincerity, both in words and actions. In the same manner, when we pray, it is important to offer our utmost sincerity to God/Tao/Buddha. In PL, when we pray to Got, we use a unique prayer form. this can be done either performed sitting or standing. the PL Prayer form allows you to attain the most ideal state of mind when praying.

Taking the time to perform this simple ritual for me has enhanced my time in prayer/meditation. It is very personal, it helps me to really slow down and focus “center”.

On Sunday’s we will often take time before the service to do some exercise together. This gives the body the opportunity to stretch and release any stiffness in the joints, to activate and extend. Then when the service begins, and we sit down, our body is content to mellow, and our minds are free to absorb and truly focus on the spiritual and divine of the service.

The sanctuary is filled with positive and activated energy. Ah just thinking of it, I am looking forward to Sunday service…From sharing with you, I now have a big broad smile on my “puss” and I extend a warm and fuzzy happy happy day to all of you.

LOL I feel a bit like the little avatar I can be, skipping happily down a flowered pathway, sprinkling bubbles of happiness and sunshine into the air wanting to bestow on every one around a super fantastic glorious day. Blessings everyone!

It is Wednesday – Happy day everyone!

This song has been playing over and over in my head, even though I now have the CD, I at this time have not been able to figure out how to insert the actual song into this blog. I will persevere. The song is sung in Portuguese in the church, I have given you here the English translation. Com Quem Contar (Ana Maria Miranda Coelho Rios) in English…… Who to Trust The melody is happy and upbeat Always has me smiling!

I was unhappy

Not knowing what to live for,

I knew not how to smile.

Life just wasn’t worthwhile

Not knowing what I could do

Not knowing who to trust.

I sought. I sought …………At last I found …………. (.Oshieoya-sama, Oshieoya-sama (Andei, andei ….E encontrie ….Oshieoya-sama, Oshieoya-sama ) Chorus 2X

Now I know

Realizing what life is for

I always live with a smile

Life is no longer a trial

I now know who to trust

Oshieoya-sama.

I sought, I sought…………….At last I found ………….Oshieoya-sama, Oshieoya-sama (repeated 2x)

From the Church of Perfect Liberty Song Book

Discover the Many Things for Which to Be Thankful

PL teaching for day 21 > Look at the people around you, the things provided to you by Mother Nature, and all of the little things that bring you joy. If you search carefully for them, you will find how much you have to be thankful for. > Discover the Many Things for Which to be Thankful <

Count your blessings. Oh what a joy felt thought. I close my eyes and think of so many things that have touched me over the years, and all the friends who have at one time or another touched my “heart”. My heart is a treasure chest of good memories. Yes for sure I have known sadness, tears and heartbreak. BUT the LOVE, happiness and highs that gave me immense and intense pleasures outshine the sadness.

To know the shattering of heart, the loss of love, one must first let go and allow love and joy in. The only constant in life is CHANGE, and with change comes new life, new adventures, new tomorrows. Always live in the moment, enjoy today, now is what counts.

Our blessings are memories of yesterday, the wonders of today, =^_^=, tomorrow will be another today =^_^=

I’m going to try a share a memory with you now. A rediscovery of a singer who touched my world at one time.. He will be coming to the Jazz Festival this month, it was such a WOW moment to hear this song again. Blessings all – Have super happy positive day where ever you are!

Have the Courage to Take the First Step

if you are timid, you will never be able to break free and start something new. Believe in yourself and take the first step.

Have the Courage to Take the First Step. PL teaching for day 19

I thought I’d see what the hexagram 19 was in the I Ching 4 broken lines over 2 solid lines. (Lin)

The two firm lines at the bottom of the hexagram in the positions of inspiration and self interest, create the arousing atmosphere of Promotion. They rule jointly and aggressively. There is now a dynamic emphasis on inner growth.

Begin your endeavors in the company of those who share your enthusiasm. Be certain that you are pursuing your goals. Have the Courage to Take the First Step.

Always challenge Yourself With New Things

Always Challenge Yourself With New Things – PL teaching day 17

Life is interesting because we always encounter unknown or new situations that we have never experienced before. don’t be afraid of failure and proactively challenge each new situation. Always Challenge Yourself with New Things

When sitting with Rev. Goto today in his office, the rain was falling against the window, giving a steady staccato with various depths of sound as it hit an overhang and then tumbled downward against the window pane. It surprised me, and for a second or two it captured my attention. Then we resumed our conversation, and the musical rain disappeared, my focus was on the subject matter of our meeting. My upcoming trip to Japan is a personal challenge for me. The last time I flew was several years ago, when I flew into Missoula, Montana. I vowed I would never travel that distance again, certainly not over mountains in a plane and iffy weather.

That was then and this is now. I will be in Japan, (Headquarters Tondabayashi Osaka) for the annual Founders’ Day Ceremony on August 1. On this day hundreds of thousands of PL believers from the local churches in Japan, and from distant parts of the world, gather to appreciate and pray to the First and Second Founders who are still working spiritually for the rapid realization of true world peace. The ceremony will climax with an hour-long display of the world’s greatest fireworks, “The Art of PL Fireworks”. How mind-blowing and awesome will that be.

Also on Founder’s Day, August 1, the annual Peace Tower Ceremony is held. The spirits of all those who have died in war, regardless of race, religion or nationality are enshrined in the altar of the Peace Tower. In this ceremony we console their spirit and pray for the everlasting peace of mankind.

Saying “Thank You” Creates a Heart to Heart Connection

Perfect Liberty teaching day 15

Saying “Thank You” Creates a Heart to Heart Connection. If you don’t put your thoughts into words and actions, you will not be able to express how you truly feel. By expressing your gratitude in words, you can get your feelings across fully.

Sometimes being comfortable with a friend, relative, partner in life, we can forget to say “thank you” after a time, assuming that they know we appreciate them, and what they do for us. That is taking them for granted. I love my husband very much, it is impossible to say thank you for all the small things he does for me/us on a daily basis, but I try as often as I can to let him know just how special he is. I’ve discovered, that not only does it bring a smile to his face, it pleases me no end, that we’ve shared a heart to heart moment. Father’s Day is coming soon, it is good that we have put aside one day to celebrate the special man/men in our lives. However I personally feel that every day should be a day of gratitude and saying ” Thank You” to the special people who touch our hearts.

Saying “Thank You” Creates a Heart to Heart Connection.

God Resides in Your Prayerful Mind

PL teaching for day 13 – God Resides in your Prayerful Mind. In addition to making heartfelt and continuous effort, let’s pray to God. God will surely respond to your Makoto (sincerity)

I would like to share with you a couple of sentences from the chapter Life is Art from our PL member’s guide ” Your Artist Expressions Are what Makes Your Life a Work of Art” . As a living person, you interact with the people and things around in order to express your feelings. your life is shaped by the way you express yourself each and every day. Through your daily artistic expressions, you can create your one and only life.”
I have found since becoming a member of PL that I am soaking in the writings of other members who have put together booklets to help new members understand what the Church of Perfect Liberty is all about. I love sharing our faith -(such sharing is called Shingei) . Each day is a new canvas, just when I think I couldn’t be happier, I read more of the teachings and “life”: gets even better
.
PL teaching for day 13 – God Resides in your Prayerful Mind.

Thank you for sharing this moment with me. Oshieoya-sama teaches us that the surest way to be blessed is to appreciate all the blessing we have received. Living in Perfect Liberty I feel very blessed.
