Quotes

Good morning world!  On this eve of a new year I send greetings of joy, wishes of a prosperous new year and a challenge for each person.  A challenge to make time to reflect upon your last year and the lessons you learned well and the ones you still are in pursuit of! 

-Chaplain Royal

Ralph Waldo Emerson shared with us “Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.”  

What are you standing in the way of in your own life?  

What is blocking your sunshine?

Light and Life

The podcast today will be about life and light.  Good Monday morning!  

It was Plato that said “A sensible man will remember that the eyes may be confused in two ways: by a change from light to darkness or from darkness to light; and he will recognize that the same thing happens to the soul.”  

I add “It is safe to assume that you’ve allowed God to be created in your image, as God dislikes the same people you do.”

Songs that Say Something

SONGS THAT SAY SOMETHING: Higher Love (Depeche Mode)

Moved, lifted higher.  Moved, my soul's on fire.  Moved, by a higher love.

I surrender all control to the desire that consumes me whole.

And leads me by the hand to infinity, that lies in wait at the heart of me.

Merry Christmas to many

Happy Holidays to some

Peace, Love and Joy to all

Stop and reflect about your higher love, what the heart of you!

Faith

Being a man who likes to have information and asks questions I find it difficult to have faith sometimes.  Perhaps sometimes I need a little more THAN faith.  Perhaps it is just a little MORE faith that I need!

One Way to Look At It

Happy Sunday everyone! 

Faith acts promptly and boldly on the on the occasion, on slender evidence. 

Moving in faith takes a joyful heart and a willingness to surrender certainty. 

Those leaps bring us to a new level of living, thinking, loving and experience.

Faith is the ability to hold on to things your reason once accepted, despite your changing moods.

I offer this prayer to those who are open to receiving it “Heavenly Parent of love and forgiveness thank you for the blessings we continue to receive.  We seek continued blessings and grace for our families, friends and those whom we have not met.  Keep them safe, secure and healthy and free from hurt harm and danger.  In your precious name we pray, amen”

BULLETIN: Overcoming Holiday Blues

Overcoming Holiday Blues:

For many seniors, the holiday season can trigger melancholy as they think about lost loved ones, struggle with health issues or worry about money problems, according to the American Geriatrics Society.

To help overcome the seasonal blues, the AGS Foundation for Health in Aging offers the following advice:

·        Get out and socialize or invite family and friends over.  Those who find it hard to get around should ask relatives and others for help traveling to parties and events.

·        Volunteering can help improve mood.  Call local schools or religious organizations to ask about opportunities nearby.

·        Don't drink too much alcohol because it can actually lower your spirits.

·        Accept the fact that many people feel blue during the holidays and there is nothing wrong with not being "merry".

·        Talking to someone about your feelings may help you understand the reasons why you feel sad.

·        Watch for warning signs of depression.  While holiday blues are temporary and mild, depression is more serious.  Signs of depression include:  persistent sadness; lack of interest; frequent crying; changes in appetite, weight or sleep; constant feelings of fatigue, restlessness, worthlessness, or guild; suicidal thoughts.

·        If you're depressed, contact your healthcare provider.  Depression is treatable.

-American Geriatric Society

Quotes

“We get so focused on micromanaging words in the Bible that we forget to realize that the lessons before us are already stood the tests of time!”  Any word can be manipulated to fit our need.  Can we manipulate ourselves into the lessons of the word?

Positive Affirmations

“The here and now is significant, not because of its bridge between the past and future, but by reason of what this very moment contains.  It may contain the “food” for our “hunger” if we are able to receive it.  I will rest into this moment of right now.
