LET WISDOM LEAD THE WAY



“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”                                                                              ― Maya Angelou

I read a wonderful blog by an old friend from Kennewick, Washington. She spoke of the Wisdom that comes from aging gracefully. She said something that I totally agree with, "They are not grey hairs, they are wisdom highlights." 

Something that I have always said, is that as I age, I find that I have less to worry about. Things I worried about in my twenties and thirties, seem to drift way as I enter into my forties, fifties, sixties, and now seventies. It seems that the really important things rise to the surface, friends, family, the wonderful experiences I have been through.

I have faith that the world notices injustice and call it for what it is, and that Truth will prevail. I have faith that kindness, inclusion, understanding, and wisdom shall prevail. We as human beings must stand up for each other and consciously voice our opinions about what is right and what is not.

"And you and I should form the habit of taking definite time each day to pray for peace with justice--for there is no peace possible without justice."  Ernest Holmes,    --The Essential Ernest Holmes

Sitting and worrying about something does no good. Put your mind on bringing light into the darkness. It opens our eyes to see the possibility for change.

Love and Light,

Rev Sandy Smith

 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...
