THE WINDS OF WEATHER

"Life always becomes to us the particular thing we need when we believe that It becomes to us that particular thing."

Ernest Holmes,                          --The Science of Mind Textbook

What do we know about weather? It always changes. Our lives are affected by it in so many ways. Some types you may be prepared for, other types present themselves when they are least expected. Tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes, sunami's, floods, and fires happen; there is often devastation that takes place. Homes are destroyed, families are displaced, and there is a chaos that follows the event. Humanity has a wonderful way of stepping up. Firefighters and other emergy responders show up, family and friends support each other, total strangers  help those in need of shelter and substenance. Still there is a sadness that lingers, especially if loved ones and homes were lost in the disaster. 

It does little good to blame anyone for the natural causes that occured. All that can be done is to be thankful for those who are still alive, provide assistance for those who weathered the disater, and see if there is anything we can do in the future for a simalar natural disaster. The 1906 San Francisco eathquake led to the Invention of the Rictar scale to measure the strength of Earth quakes, and eventually building requirements were established for large structures.Warning systems for tornados were developed, measurement for other weather disasters were developed, and more emergency workers were trained.

In short, the weather brings about change and hopefully it teaches us things to plan for the future, and to help those who need assitance.  Much like those of us who see something that needs to change in our own lives, and the steps we take to improve the situation. let the wind change lives for the better.

"You are cause because you can think. The only creative process there has ever been, is now, or evermore shall be is thinking.You can let new ideas happen in your consciousness as easily as you can do any of the routine things in your daily life."

Raymond Charles Barker,              --The Power of Decision

Have you or anyone you know experienced a natural disaster? What help was offered? Have you participated in providing help after a disaster?  Know that when you do provide assistance, it is deeply appreciated. Do what you can to help others, even if it is just through a prayer.

Love and Light,

Rev Sandy

 WHY WORRY?                                          "Worry is the dark room where negatives are developed."                                                                 Raymond Charles Barker,      -- The Power of Decision Oh that hamster wheel late at night, just spinning with all of the things that happened yesterday, and the things on your calendar that you still need to accomplish. Will the wheel never stop? How do you dismount from the wheel?  I have discovered that worrying about the past is pointless. If it was an accident, I cannot undo what happened. I may think of it as a learning experience as to what I might do the next time to avoid an accident. As to the future, it hasn't happene...

 BE KIND TO YOURSELF "Things always get better. When you believe this, it becomes true. In the same way as you don't believe it doesn't get better, it doesn't get better."   Sandra Lindsey Smith, -- "Life's Garden Grows" Have you ever noticed how readily we rush to forgive other people for the minute, negative observations they say about themselves, but it is much more difficult for you to forgive yourself for the very same tiny thing you say about yourself? All the, "I AMs" that come out of our mouths are packed with the potential to show up in our lives exactly as they spring from our mouths. So, no: "I am so stupid"; "I can't get my hair to look right; or, "why do I even go in for this job interview, I can never express myself well under pressure" NO! Those are not the, "I AMs" that you want to spring from the depth of your soul. Instead, "I could have done that a different way", "...

  RELAX INTO THE FLOW "A good diet, refraining from excessive desires, and daily meditation all lead to peace of mind, and this peace of mind is beneficial."     Little Book of Inner Peace,    --The Dalai Lama What happens when a person is caught in a rip current in the ocean? A lifeguard would tell you to swim parallel to the shore and that would break the hold of the current. When panic sets in it is sometimes very difficult to remember that idea of relaxing enough to swim parallel to the shore. Isn't that true about the challenges that we go through in life? We get caught in the idea of events becoming more than we can handle. When it occurs to us, that  Spirit surrounds us, moves in, through, and as us, we can remember to relax into that Divine Presence, and a shift happens. It allows us to respond, rather than react to the situation. There are many times that I have been so focused on the problem, that it takes me a little time to say, "God...
