Door of Happiness

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens.

But often we look so long at the closed door that

we do not see the one which has been opened before us."
Helen Keller

Walcha Art Gallery

I love it when out of the blue, you just happen to find yourself in the right place at the right time.  I was visiting Walcha for the golden oldies Rugby Union weekend, and as my hubby and I went to dinner, we happened across the opening night for Barbara McKay's Sands of Time exhibition.  The Walcha Gallery is a beautiful space to display art, and the gallery owner Carley is very welcoming.

 While we were there, I discovered that I am totally in love with Andreas Buisman's carvings.  I think I may have to go back and buy one next time we are up that way.  Andreas is a world renowned rock sculptor.

If you happen to be travelling through Walcha, take time to visit Walcha Gallery.

Pray for Others
I know that all things are possible, and I give thanks.

Dear one, I am praying for you today. You may be someone I have known for a long time or someone I just met, but regardless, I know you are divine in nature, a beloved creation of a loving God.

As I think of you, I envision perfection in mind, body and spirit. The presence of God within enables you to make wise choices and to heal in every way. God's abundance is in the very essence of your being. I envision you having everything you need to fulfill your hopes and desires.

I pray for you, and I release any need for a particular outcome. I know that all good things are possible for you and the people you care about, and for this, I give thanks.

We always pray for you, asking that our God will ... fulfill by his power every good resolve and work of faith.--2 Thessalonians 1:11

Fear of flying... well really it's fear of crashing isn't it?

If you have a fear of flying, did you know that....

More people are killed by donkeys annually than are killed
in plane crashes.

Are you no longer a Christian if you don't go to church?

"Faith can move mountains, but don't be surprised if God hands you a shovel". Author Unknown

After a conversation with a friend last night, I was left chewing over a comment she had made about whether you are a Christian or not.  She said, that according to study on Holiness and Sanctity that she had just undertaken, you are not a Christian if you don't go to church. 

I felt a quite unsettled, and sad, after the comment, so this morning when it was still bothering me, I meditated on the comment for a while, and decided to go to the source and asked God, 'was that comment I had heard, the truth?'  This is the answer that came to me - after a while.

Any thought of God that does not uplift you - or inspire you, is a lie.

The Path to Fulfillment

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost. H. Jackson Browne
