NOT THERE YET

LADNER UNITED CHURCH - SITE OF MARY AND MICHAEL JOHN'S WEDDING


As we woke up this morning we are aware that Ken is still flying and he will arrive in Melbourne on Friday their date. What a long trip! We so appreciatte his coming to spend time with us.
Carol is now planning to work up north and she is excited about trying this new adventure. We know we will miss her too, but we wish her well on her new adventure.

Looking back on my life I cannot say I have had any real regrets and I am content with my life and feel blessed in many ways. I am thankful for the faith that has carried me through the difficult times.

The book I am reading suggests three questions to ask yourself to open your heart to the healing that flows all around us as we become aware that we are human but we have potential to be spiritual beings.

Who are you?

Where did you come from?

Why are you here?

We all have a" hidden mystical consciousness" that waits to be born and nutured to deepen the soul to it's full potential. A kind heart, a compassionate spirit, a generous soul, an inner peace.
We are aware that we can be more than we are and the presence of the wisdom of the Spirit will encourage us and teach us. One of the messages of Jesus was asking us if we are willing to die to ourselves to be reborn; reminding us that we are caught in between two worlds; the spiritual and the natural. We are given special spiritual gifts to heal and transform us if we are open to it.


Mary and Michael John are preparing to be married and committ their lives to growing together. It is an exciting time of preparing and expectations but it is only a beginning.
They will continue to learn more about each other and more about unconditional love.

We are all born with our distinct personality that can be shaped by life but not changed!
We can become discouraged when some things do not change and we have to learn to live with it.

Other things, like our health and our relationships, require work and effort. Even on our spiritual journey we are not there yet! Today I will be walking alone this morning so I will not go in the water shed park.
