The Power of Words

You are a child of God,

a priceless part of His Kingdom, which He created as part of Him.

“To be chosen as the Beloved of God is something radically different. Instead of excluding others, it includes others. Instead of rejecting others as less valuable, it accepts others in their own uniqueness. It is not a competitive, but a compassionate choice. Our minds have great difficulty in coming to grips with such a reality. Maybe our minds will never understand it. Perhaps it is only our hearts that can accomplish this. Every time we hear about 'chosen people', 'chosen talents', or 'chosen friends', we almost automatically start thinking about elites and find ourselves not far from feelings of jealousy, anger, or resentment. Not seldom has the perception of others as being chosen led to aggression, violence, and war.” ― Henri J.M. Nouwen,

“God works with me and through me and by me and for me.”

A true answer changes the way you think, the way you react to the world. True answers change the way you are. Vernon Linwood Howard

Clairvoyance

Grace is Given.

Try to see that _thinking_ we understand a certain thing is not at
all the same as actually understanding it.VH

Memory of Him awakens in the mind that asks the means of Him whereby its sleep is done.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING

The Seven Learning Styles

Everyone has a preferred method of learning. Seven basic learning styles exist, and each one uses a different part of the brain. People may use more than one method when they learn; in fact, when we use multiple styles, we use more parts of the brain and remember what we learn better.

WHOLIFICATION

It doesn’t take time to think right.

It only takes the willingness to do so.

Kenneth G. Mills

Healing is a process of "wholification."

"Health or sickness; wealth or poverty; success or failure -- all begin in the mind. Your physical body and material affairs reflect your state of mind. The person with a positive attitude and a strong belief in health prevents sickness from entering his life." Rev. Ike.

The problem?

Reality is WHAT IS (YouTube - Byron Katie Loving What Is *). Take a walk in nature, don’t worry about what’s behind you (past) or what’s in front (future) of you. See the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees.  When you do that everything becomes up close and personal. Then you see things as they are . Not as you are.

That’s part of my 10^th speech at Toastmasters I gave yesterday. I’m now designated as Competent Communicator (CC). 

I am happy and grateful that …

This is the gist of a speech I gave at Toastmasters at noon today.

“I’LL SHOW EM”

This a toast to my great aunt who died in Peterborough about 5 years ago

Life Lessons, a love story, happy reunion and unexpected twist.  

She was unique with a zest for life.
Expect the unexpected

She was a private person, she didn’t tell people her business and I learned from my dad not to mess with her

She worked at the same seniors’ home in Toronto for about 25 years and when she retired they bought their first home in Peterborough. It was a their house, master bedroom and bathroom on the 1^st floor and the basement was awesome the previous owner did a lot of work 

My uncle had a camp on a lake south of Bancroft so it was what they always wanted being within an hours drive

I am the beloved child of a loving creator.
