Sunrise To Your Soul ~~~**~~~ http://www.angelwinks.net/images/lotsofrosesbouquet.jpg God allows us to have "blue" seasons where there is more weeping than laughing. What we must remember is that they are only for a season. That is crucial. Joy will come in the morning, just as sure as the sunrise. If you get up tomorrow morning to see the sunrise, let me tell you what not to do. Don't try to make it hurry up. You can't do it. You can get a brass band and cheerleaders, but that sun is not going to come up one second sooner than God intends. Waiting on the Lord is like waiting on the sun to come up. You can't hurry it. You also can't stop it. God is going to bring a sunrise to your soul. Just wait for it. And trust Him while you wait. Are you in a waiting period . . . praying days, weeks, months, even years, for something and God hasn't answered? Be still and know that in the fullness of time, your request will be answered so positively. "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth."

FREE TO BE YOU Watch your attitudes, know that you are responsible for yourself and not others. Realize that all judgment of, criticism of, condemnation, and anger towards other people is to be released to their own good. Bless all people as they travel the highway of life and always remember that you are free to be you. And therefore, everybody else is free to be themselves. Begin to enjoy everyone around you. Keep in mind that love, intelligence and courage is always present enabling us to always be who we are. We can rise up and accomplish all that we desire and maintain the joy, happiness and fulfillment we seek - all we need do is practice our spiritual exercises, study and act as we believe with deep faith. II TIMOTHY 1: 7 reads, "For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but the power and love and sound mind." Antestian Newsletter - Road to Enlightenment |
At first glance she looked like any other old woman. Plodding along in the snow, alone, neglected, head bowed. People passing on the busy city sidewalk averted their eyes, lest she remind them that pain and suffering did not stop to celebrate Christmas. A young couple, smiling, talking, laughing, arms loaded with Christmas presents, took no notice of the old woman. A mother with two small children hurried by, on their way to grandmother's house. They took no notice. A minister walked by proudly carrying his Bible in his right hand, like a well armed Christian soldier. But his mind was stayed on heavenly things, and he took no notice. If these people had noticed, they would have seen that the old woman wore no shoes. She walked barefoot in the ice and snow. With both hands the old woman gathered her worn button-less overcoat at the collar to keep out the wind. She stopped and stood bent and bowed at the bus stop. A red and blue scarf covering her head, she waited for the downtown bus. A gentleman carrying an important looking briefcase waited near her, not too closely. After all, she could have something contagious. A teen-age girl also waited for the bus. She glanced repeatedly at the old woman's feet, but said nothing. The bus arrived and the old woman slowly, painfully boarded. She sat on the sideways seat just behind the driver. The gentleman and the teen-age girl hurried to the rear. The man sharing the seat with the old woman shuffled uneasily and twirled his thumbs. "Senile," he thought. The bus driver saw her bare feet and thought; "This neighborhood is sinking deeper and deeper into poverty, I hate to see it, I'll be glad when they put me on the College Park route." A little boy pointed at the old woman. "Look, Mother, that old lady is barefoot." The embarrassed mother slapped his hand down. "Don't point at people, Andrew. It's not polite to point." She looked out the window. "She must have grown children," a lady in a fur coat suggested. "Her children should be ashamed of themselves." She felt morally superior, because she took good care of her mother. A teacher seated near the middle of the bus steadied the bag of gifts on her lap. "Don't we pay enough taxes to handle situations like this?" she said to a friend seated beside her. "It's this tax-cut crazy Republican administration, her friend replied. "They rob the poor and give to the rich." "No, its the Democrats," a gray-haired man behind them interjected. "These Democrat welfare programs just make people lazy and keep them in poverty." "People have to learn to save their money," a well-dressed young college man added. "If that old woman had saved when she was young, she wouldn't be suffering now. It's her own fault." And all these people beamed with satisfaction that their acumen had delivered such trenchant analysis. But, a kind businessman felt offended by this murmuring detachment of his fellow citizens. He reached into his wallet and took out a crisp twenty-dollar bill. He strode proudly down the isle and pressed the bill into the old woman's unsteady, wrinkled hand. "Here, Madam, get yourself some shoes." The old woman nodded her head in thanks. The businessman strode back to his seat, feeling pleased with himself, that he was a man of action. A well-dressed Christian lady had noticed all of this. She began to pray silently. "Lord, I don't have money. There is no way I can help. But Lord, I can turn to you in every need. Lord, I know that you are a loving God. You make a way out of no way. Now Lord, let your blessing shine on this old woman. Let shoes fall like manna from heaven, so that this old woman can have shoes for Christmas." And the Christian lady felt supremely spiritual. At the next stop, a young man boarded the bus. He wore a heavy blue jacket, a maroon scarf around his neck, and a gray woolen cap pulled down over is ears. A wire running under the cap and into his ear was connected to a Walkman. The young man jiggled his body in time to music only he heard. He paid his fare and plopped down on the sideways seat directly across from the old woman. As the young man's glance caught the old woman's bare feet, His jiggling stopped. He froze. His eyes went from her feet to his. He wore his expensive, new, brand name sneakers. For months he had saved from his minimum wage pay to buy these sneakers. Everybody in the gang would think he was "so cool." The young man bent down and began to untie his sneakers. He removed his impressive new sneakers. He removed his socks. He knelt down before the old woman. "Mother," he said, "I see you have no shoes. Well, I have shoes." Carefully, gently, he lifted the old woman's crusty feet in his hands. He placed his socks and his fine sneakers on the old woman's feet. The old woman nodded in thanks. Just then the bus arrived at the nest stop. The young man left the bus and walked away, barefoot in the snow. The passengers crowded at the windows to watch him as he plodded barefoot through the snow. "Who is he?" one asked. "He must be a prophet," said another. "He must be a saint," someone suggested. "He must be an angel," said yet another. "Look! There's a halo around his head," somebody shouted. "He must be the Son of God," said the Christian lady. But the little boy who had pointed, said, "No Mother, I saw him clearly, He was only a man." |
IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT http://angelwinks.net/images/general...ralpod1119.jpg 1. Isn't it strange how a 20 dollar bill seems like such a large amount when you donate it to church, but such a small amount when you go shopping? 2. Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you're at church, and how short they seem when you're watching a good movie? 3. Isn't it strange that you can't find a word to say when you're praying, but you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend? 4. Isn't it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of the Bible, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel or ZANE GREY book 5. Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games, but they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in Church? 6. Isn't it strange how we need to know about an event for Church 2-3 weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust it for other events at the last minute? 7. Isn't it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God to share it with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip? 8. Isn't it strange how we believe everything that magazines and newspapers say, but we question the words in the Bible? 9. Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven, but they don't want to believe, do, or say anything to get there? 10. Isn't it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are forwarded right away, but when we are going to send messages about God, we think about it twice before we share it with others?

http://www.animated-gifs.eu/phone-240x320-cats/0114.gif This reminds me of my mother's saying, "Take a picture, it will last longer" when she saw people staring at us. Just had a thought, maybe I got my sense of humor from her. Quote:

We are what we feed ourselves. Do you eat negative thoughts? Are we still beating ourselves up. Self abuse can be mental, emotional, and phsyical.
Are we accepting of ourselves in today. Do we endorse and affirm ourselves, or do we continue to put ourselves down and excuse our existence and reason for being. It is okay to be who we are. http://angelwinks.net/images/iq/qcwrinkleddogbath2.jpg |
It Was ======= It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoc of belief, it was the epoc of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way in short, the period was so far like the present period... This was written by Charles Dickens, from the novel, "A Tale of Two Cities," about the times of the French revolution. Sounds very much like today doesn't it? There is nothing new under the sun.

If you are in the center of AA, you won't fall off the edge.
Directions to AA: Just go straight to hell and make a U-turn. AA: Being a part of something is more important than being the center of attention. AA is the only place whre you can walk into a room full of strangers and reminisce. A.A. Romance......The odds are good......but the goods are odd. AA: Look for a way in; not for a way out. AA: We are not reformed drunks, but informed alcoholics. AA has no fixed address--you can take it with you. AA: We're here for a reason, not for the season. AA Groups: An AA group will be judged by the worst behavior of its members. AA Groups: When you clean up after your group, you leave the signature of AA behind you. AA is a check-up from the neck up. Before I came into AA I was dead, but I did not know enough to lie down. AA is not a sentence, it is a reprieve. A.A. is a self-help program but you can't do it by yourself. AA won't keep you from going to hell nor is it a ticket to heaven but it will keep you sober long enough for you to make up your mind which way you want to go! AA won't open the gates of heaven to let you in, but it will open the gates of hell to let you out. In AA, there are no losers--just slow winners. Alcoholic (as defined by self): A piece of crap the universe revolves around. Alcoholic: Someone who refuses to give up a life of failure without a fight. Alcoholic: A person who, when s/he goes to a wedding, wants to be the bride; when s/he goes to a funeral, wants to be the corpse. Alcoholic: An alcoholic is someone who wants to be held while isolating. Alcoholic: I may not be much, but I'm all I think about. Alcoholic: If I could drink like a normal drinker, I'd drink all the time! Alcoholic: If you drank enough to get to AA, you drank enough. Alcohol: It provokes the desire but takes away the performance. Only an alcoholic would believe that the solution to loneliness was isolation. Alcoholics burn their bridges in front of them. Alcohol: An alcoholic is someone who finds something that works and then stops doing it. Alcohol: It's not what or how much you drank, it's what it did to you. Alcohol: What you thought was the solution became the problem. Alcoholic: Terminal uniqueness! Alcoholic: They didn't make a glass big enough for me to have one drink. Alcohol: You will be rich when you know you have enough. Alcoholic drinking's three stages: impulsive ... compulsive ... repulsive. Each and every alcoholic ---sober or not--- teaches us some valuable lessons about ourselves and recovery. An alcoholic alone is slumming. An alcoholic is not a guy who thinks he's had one too many. He's usually the guy who thinks he's had one too few. Every alcoholic's favorite brand: More! If you think you are an alcoholic, chances are, you are. Alcoholics heal from the outside in...but feel from the inside out. The destiny of every alcoholic is to be locked up ... covered up ... or ... sobered up. An alcoholic is a man with two feet firmly planted in mid-air. You can carry the message, but not the alcoholic. You're probably an alcoholic if: You think spilling beer is alcohol abuse. Alcoholics are in a class by themselves. Everyone else has graduated. Alcoholics are life-long loners who cannot stand to be alone. Non-alcoholics change their behavior to meet their goals and alcoholics change their goals to meet their behavior. Alcoholics aren't afraid to die. They're afraid to live. Alcoholism: Alcohol went from being my best friend to my worst enemy. Alcoholism: An alcoholic can be in the gutter, yet still look down on people. Alcoholism: Guilt of yesterday, fear of tomorrow, shame of today. Alcoholism: High bottoms have trap doors. Alcoholism: If the cure works, chances are, you have the disease. Alcoholism: If you drank long enough to get to an A.A. meeting, you drank long enough. Alcoholism: Name it, Claim it, Tame it!!! Alcoholism: Once you are a pickle, you can't be a cucumber. But once you are a pickle, you can be a newcomer. Alcoholism is an equal opportunity destroyer. Remember that alcoholism is .. incurable, progressive, and fatal. Alcoholism: The three most dangerous words for an alcoholic -"I've been thinking" Alcoholism: We are not bad people becoming good, but sick people becoming well. Alcoholism: Your bottom just may be six feet under. Alcoholism: Your disease progresses even when you are not drinking. Alcoholism doesn't come in bottles; it comes in people. Alcoholism is a self-diagnosed disease. Some people think alcoholism is a two-fold disease -- more and right now. https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...dl5Fek3jz9gya4 |

Elder's Meditation of the Day http://www.whitebis on.org/meditatio n/images/ oakfall.gifFor Thursday 15 July 2010 "It was good for the skin to touch the earth, and the old people liked to remove their moccasins and walk with bare feet on the sacred earth... The soil was soothing, strengthening, cleansing, and healing." — Chief Luther Standing Bear, TETON SIOUX Touching the earth - getting grounded, centered. There is magic in touching the earth and feeling her healing power. This is especially healthy to do during a troubling time when our minds are racing or can't stop thinking or are locked onto fear or resentment. When I need to feel free I can go to the Mother Earth. The Mother Earth is full of life and love. She always gives her powers to those who come to her. The Mother Earth is alive. Today, my Great Spirit, let me remember to touch the earth. Let me slow down and live just for today. Let me be gentle, patient and kind. |
Originally posted on my site in June 2010: I'm participating in Earth Healing for our Oceans. Dr. Masaru Emoto, who many of you will recognize as the scientist from Japan, has done all the research and publications about the characteristics of water. Among other things, his research reveals that water physically responds to emotions. Right now, most of us have the predominantly angry emotion when we consider what is happening in the Gulf. And while certainly we are justified in that emotion, we may be of greater assistance to our planet and its life forms if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly pray the prayer that Dr Emoto, himself, has proposed: I am passing this request to people who I believe might be willing to participate in this prayer, to set an intention of love and healing that is so large, so overwhelming that we can perform a miracle in the Gulf of Mexico. We are not powerless. We are powerful. Our united energy, speaking this prayer daily...multiple times daily....can literally shift the balance of destruction that is happening. We don't have to know how......we just have to recognize that the power of love is greater than any power active in the Universe today. Please join me in repeating this healing prayer from Dr. Emoto. Feel free to copy and paste this to send it around the planet. Let's take charge and do our own clean up! And so it is! Pass it on. "I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all the living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings. To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, plankton, coral, algae, and all living creatures . . . I am sorry. Please forgive us. Thank you. I love you." ************ ****** Do what you Love. Live where you Love. Love where you Pray. |
http://www.angelwinks.net/images/spring/spring1.jpg Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday. It is in the past and the past will never change. Only I can change by choosing to do so. Beginning today I will no longer worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it. But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today. Beginning today I will look in the mirror and I will see a person worthy of my respect and admiration. This capable person looking back at me is someone I enjoy spending time with and someone I would like to get to know better. Beginning today I will cherish each moment of my life. I value this gift bestowed upon me in this world and I will unselfishly share this gift with others. I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others. Beginning today I will take a moment to step off the beaten path and to revel in the mysteries I encounter. I will face challenges with courage and determination. I will overcome what barriers there may be which hinder my quest for growth and self-improvement. Beginning today I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time. Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image, my desire to succeed or my capacity to love. Beginning today I walk with renewed faith in human kindness. Regardless of what has gone before, I believe there is hope for a brighter and better future. Beginning today I will open my mind and my heart. I will welcome new experiences. I will meet new people. I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else: perfection does not exist in an imperfect world. But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human foibles. Beginning today I am responsible for my own happiness and I will do things that make me happy . . . admire the beautiful wonders of nature, listen to my favourite music, pet a kitten or a puppy, soak in a bubble bath pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures. Beginning today I will learn something new; I will try something different; I will savour all the various flavors life has to offer. I will change what I can and the rest I will let go. I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be. Beginning today. Everyday. |

Take an inventory, look at what is junk and let go and let God. Remember God doesn't make no junk. You are worthy of recovery, and just for today, make the decision to not pick up, no matter what. |

For so many years, it was look what you did! It got to a stage in my life, I always replied, "The Devil made me do it!" Hogwash! For one thing, as much as people said it was wrong, it was there opinion and I had to stop taking it personal. I don't think I will ever forget my mother saying, "Look at what you made me do, it is all your fault." I don't even remember the incident, just remember the words. Don't know what she did or I did, but apparently I did it and I was responsible for the whole mess. I firmly believe that God DOES NOT TEST US! We test God. Yes life happens, and things are put in front of us, I don't see it as a test, so much as Him allowing me freedom of choice. It can be a lesson learned, no matter what it is, I see them as life's experiences. We are often the victim of other people's choice, if we allow ourselves to go there. It is not easy breaking away from an abusive relationship. That is when I have to call on God. If He was testing me, I see it as something I have to do without His Help, and I don't see my God working and thinking that way. It can be a test of faith, yet every day is that. He doesn't do something that will hurt me and His Goal to 'Get' me and only me and I am so hard done by and why is this happening to me. I made choices that brought me to where I am in today. So many times we are victim of other people's choices. So we have to learn to accept it, or we can choose to become a victim and play the martyr, which I have done far too many times. My God doesn't grab me by the scuff of the neck and say "Don't!" Yet if I go to the quiet, and sit in the stillness, the good orderly direction is there. It is up to me as to whether I listen to it or turn away. So many people blame God for the state of the world. The people of the world made choices, in most cases, to ignore God and disclaim His existance. What a wonderful world this would be if everyone just made their space, the best space it can be, just for today. https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...cXf41snrrNwXvQ |

I want it now, if not yesterday! How easy it is for that old thinking to come back. The nice thing is that I am able to recognize it for what it is and change it. I used the program and didn't substitute with food or use pill maintenance. I lost three pounds. Mind you, later when I didn't have the cigarettes to stuff the emotions, I did on occasion use food only to fight a new battle. It was a real awakening for me to become aware of the fact that I could pray for the willingness to be willing. It applies to so many areas of my life. The Twelve Steps helped me quit smoking, helps me with my eating disorder and my chronic pain. It may not seem like it has helped with my computer addiction and yet my mental and emotional state is so much better and I do not obsess like I use to. I think I am more addicted to web sites and building them than the computer. It is just a means to get me to where I want to go. http://www.animated-gifs.eu/insects-...flies/0141.gif |

Have been thinking recently how much I stay in today and don't visit the past unless it is to share with someone or to write a post about what it was like, what happened and what it is like in today, like the Big Book tells me to do. I will not shut the door on the past, it is often something I can look at and see how far I have come in today and/or see how I have slipped back into an old behavior which has become too comfortable again, and I need to change it. Even things learned in recovery, often need changing or upgraded. I know that on occasions like the holidays, I projected into the future and put myself into a depression. Thanks to the program, the road looks clear, I am back on track and staying in today when I pick up the tools of recovery. It always amazes me how fast time can go by. I can look at this month and think, gee 11 days have gone by, where did they go; or gee there are only 20 more days in April; and/or just enjoy today for what it can bring me. When I am open, good things happen. They may be small to others, but often they are huge to me. Don't you just love those moments that make you go "Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!" http://www.animated-gifs.eu/phone-24...bears/0198.gif |
THINK on THESE THINGS by Joyce Sequichie Hifler Texture is that finely woven fabric of life that demands we have a congenial environment. It asks that we be industrious toward success, and that we should have a way of life, a purpose. We should hear the music of life and taste the bitter and the sweet. Texture requires us to research every experience and learn the lessons in it. It orders us to communicate with life and make discoveries about ourselves and progress toward a texture where the coarse has been refined. Frequently we should examine the texture of life to identify the quality. How wide is my world? How high is my sky? All of us should know our own makeup, our capabilities, our gifts with which we have been divinely endowed. And we should think long on these words from Edna St. Vincent Millay's Renascence: "The world stands out on either side no wider than the heart is wide. Above the world is stretched the sky, no higher than the soul is high." |

Your true wish to understand a negative state initiates the entrance of that specialized Light you need to make this same wish come true. We suffer what we do, as we do, only through our unconscious consent, so the first step in freeing ourselves from unseen sorrow is to deliberately bring ourselves into conscious awareness of its dark presence within us. |

When things look empty I pray you know hope in Jesus. ~ Author Unknown ~ |
Learn To Fly, Like A Butterfly https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...uy9vJHjXe3g8Uf The air is full of butterflies. Flying so effortlessly in the sky. No weight they carry, to hold them down. Never a worry or a frown. And yet not long ago, they were... A crawling little... caterpillar. I wonder if they knew they'd be... A beautifully butterfly, flying so free. They do not question how long they'll live... But are happy with each day God gives. They trust that he will always provide, whatever they need...to survive. So learn to trust...and fly away, from cares and worries of today. See how beautiful life can be... Rely on Jesus, to supply your needs.

But today - well lived - makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day. - unknown to me |
One Caring Smile https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...lWPWbGLQvLGugX Everything's gone wrong today. No one reacts to anything you say. No matter how much you scream and cry, the world seems to be passing you by. No one seems to notice or care, that you are trying to be heard over your despair. But on one face a smile shines through, a smile that knows and cares about you. A smile with love to lend, on a face you recognize as a friend!

In order to give, we need to receive. We don`t always get back from the same source. Maybe the person we gave to is unable to give and in a place that does not allow him the understanding of Spiritual living. We sometimes base our giving on money and what we can get out of it. That is NOT the spiritual way. A definite need for a change in attitude. When you come from a place of love, you will not drain your energy, but renew it. |

Thoughts for the Day Thursday, June 19, 2014 “Miracles happen every day, change your perception of what a miracle is and you'll see them all around you.” Jon Bon Jovi “Gratitude for the seemingly insignificant — a seed – this plants the giant miracle.” Ann Voskamp “Each one of you is a bundle of loving energy, capable of creating anything you choose. Miracles come from your love. If you are willing to open your heart, to love yourself and others, life will always be a miracle. The degree to which you are open and loving is the degree to which miracles will come your way.” Sanaya Roman & Duane Packer http://www.angelwinks.net/images/bowser/bowser11.jpg |

Posted in 2004, an affirmation of something I posted earlier, and it is just as good in today. |
Quote:
I am grateful that I am coming up on 23 years of sobriety, God Wiling. It is a one day at a time journey, and still walking it today. It isn't about the drugs and alcohol in today, it is my emotional sobriety. If I evade my emotions and what is happening in my life, I get sick and it can take me back to the drug I choose in the moment. I need to change the old so it can transform and become a new way of life. https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...KywzAEd5GSxixb |
