The minister acknowledges that our church is built on sacred ground that was once First Nations Territory. We pause a moment to reflect on their wisdom, their stories, their grief and their joys,
Their are many stories that give our life inspiration and hope. We sing an old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah".. God is with us in our struggles and in our victories. The voice of Jesus has been spoken through the lives of many great people. Today, as in the stories of people searching for freedom, we see that justice and freedom are bought with a price and often it is the innocent that suffer. The passage of time has not delivered us from evil.
"The brain's drive toward certainty and balance- to find order in a complex often chaotic universe - is what leads us to search for values and beliefs.
As we reflect on our know;edge and our experiences we know that relationships are important to keep our brains alive and also our spirits.
We live in a world where there are many energy waves that keep us in touch with each other and in touch with the news of the day. Our belief is beyond our understanding but if I believe I can turn on the radio and hear voices speaking from near and far; there also is a belief in the spiritual energy waves that bring God's voice and His love into our lives.
Sunday was a day enjoying family and also later in the day to reflect on the minister's sermon on the the blessings of life. lived with the awareness of God's presence. I want to know what I believe is real and just as light is connected to a source our souls in tune with the existence of creation will find the source of light that is spiritual.
"Each soul can be regarded as integral fragments of divine light."
