A MAN SHOULD LOOK FOR WHAT IS, AND NOT FORWHAT HE THINKS SHOULD BE. -Albert Einstein (1879-1955) When a person sees and accepts what is, he/she can then begin the work of visioning and working for what should be in personal life and community.

MOMENTS OF MEDITATION
>
> MOMENTS OF MEDITATION/QUIET ALLOW ONE TO SEPARATE FROM THE CONDITION OF THE MOMENT AND CONNECT WITH ETERNAL SPIRIT, TRUTH, PRESENCE-"BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD." A FUNDAMENTAL VALUE OF SABBATH IS RENEWAL OF MIND, BODY, SPIRIT THROUGH REST, QUIET, PONDERING VALUES THAT OUTLAST THE MOMENT, THINGS, ………LIFE REQUIRES A LOT OF BUSINESS, WORK TO PROVIDE AND OUR "MACHINERY" REQUIRES DOWN TIME FOR REST AND RENEWAL……………This Saturday morning is quiet and in the sounds of nature Holy Spirit speaks and heals……..or whatever awareness of meaning comes to you….

Young and Old
>
> HOW CAN A PERSON BRIDGE THE GAP OF YEARS BETWEEN THE YOUNG PERSON AND THE OLD? Several years ago I attended a Steven Covey seminar in a downtown hotel. The large room was filled with young professionals. Every person at my table was early in their career. I felt out of place and one person wanted to know why I was there.She was not disrespectful, just curious. Of course I was there because I was curious about the speaker. Now this is a natural state of life between the young and the old but the question remains, HOW TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN THE YOUNG AND THE OLD ………

Fwd: thought
> COMMIT YOUR WAY UNTO THE LORD; TRUST ALSO IN HIM……WAIT UPON THE LORD…IF YOU FALL, YOU WILL NOT STAY DOWN, BECAUSE THE LORD WILL HELP YOU UP. (selections from Psalm 37) - I read this morning from the Bible I read when I was 16 years old. I underlined these verses of scripture. they were helpful to me at that time in my life adventure. I read them now when I am 80 years old. They are still enabling to me at this time in my life adventure. Thanks be to God whose Presence and Word is the fresh water of life.

make it count

Compassion
>
>
> When Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion for them because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.(Matthew 9:36) - compassion: care, concern, warmth, tenderness, kindness, charity, love. The opposite of compassion is indifference, cruelty. It is the nature of God within us to be moved with compassion when we see the suffering and pain of another person. This is a prelude to a act of care and tenderness. It is the nature of the devil in us when we look and turn away in indifference or when we laugh and make fun of a person in a sad state of life. As Jesus was moved by compassion so be it for you and me. Holy Spirit, do not let us become desensitized to the pain and hurt of others and turn away in indifference. Keep us sensitive, caring, tender and move us to acts of kindness in the midst of indifference in this world. Amen.
