We Must All Stand by Our Convictions

 

Hold your ground!  Hold your ground!

 

Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers!

 

I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.

 

A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.

 

An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day!

 

This day we fight!

 

By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!

 

 

 

The words of Aragorn in the Return of the King from 

The Lord of the Rings before the final battle

 

 

Recently Jenny and Michael were reminded of these words and we know that we are all going to be asked to stand together soon  in the face of things that we won't like, but in order to endure them we shall all have to stand together – we must be ready and we must be strong together.

 

 

Really Knowing through Experience

 

I have to thank Andrew Parker for bringing this quotation to my attention in his book In the Blink of an Eye where he explains how vision kick-started the big-bang of evolution.

 

 

Nothing ever becomes real until it is experienced - John Keats

 

 

This quotation I know especially applies to spiritual matters, because it is those who are sceptical and/or ignorant of Spirit who are unable to experience the true love and excitement of the Spirit Realms, which are all around us - all day every day.

From The Secret History of the World

 

            "Come to the edge," he said.

            They said, "We are afraid."

            "Come to the edge," he said.

            They came. He pushed them.

            They flew.

 

The Power of Prayer

From You Own the Power by Rosemary Altea

“Life is fragile. Handle it with Prayer."

Universal Guidance

In Stephen Covey’s book Seven Habits of Highly Effective People he says:

“Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic.”

Grey Eagle Answers

"GREY EAGLE – how best can we deal with life’s crises?"


“So many of you here on the earth plane walk through your lives in darkness. You turn to the light briefly, in times of need, then turn away.
“When you turn from the light, you turn away from God…and, inevitably, you turn inward, and you become closed…and you hold your pain to you…and, then, the seed of the soul cannot grow, for it needs light to grow.
“Turn your face to the light, for in that light you will find warmth…you will find healing…and you will find love.
“Accept that all things given are a gift to you, and part of your learning process.
“Take your courage in your hands, and step into the light.
“Turn your face to the sun, and allow God’s light to shine down upon you.
“For you are children of God, and, as children, if you reach out your hand, God will take it, and He will hold it firm, and He will steer you to a greater understanding of your own self…and He will give you His strength.
“He will not stem the flow of tears, nor will he wash away your pain…but he will take you to his breast and comfort you.
“Come, sit by my fire.
“Hold out your hands to the flame and be comforted by the warmth of it.
“But understand that there are many who keep this fire going.
“My fire needs kindling.
“My fire needs those who labour…who will go out and collect kindling to place on the fire.
“The fire is there for all, and there are many who will come and sit by the fire. They will warm themselves…they will feel comforted…and then they will turn away to continue their lives.
“There are those of you who will come and sit by my fire, and you will marvel at the height of the flames, and be grateful for the warmth that the fire gives out.
“And when you will be comforted, you will turn away and continue with your lives.
“And, then, there are those of you will come and sit by my fire and you will see how tall the flames grow…and you gain comfort from the warmth of the flames. And when you have been comforted enough, there are those of you who will then recognise that if the fire is to continue burning, in order that many should be comforted, then there is work to be done, and kindling to be found.
“Come, all of you, and sit by my fire.
“We demand nothing from you.
“We ask that you give nothing…except only if you want to do so.
“Come, sit by my fire, and listen to the wise words.
“Listen to the crackle of the sticks as the heat of the flame burns through them.
“Watch the sparks fly…each spark is a light…each spark is truth…each spark is a knowing.
“Come, sit by my fire, and I will warm you…”

The Eagle and the Rose by Rosemary Altea 1995

From Gloucestershire

Once in a lifetime you find someone who touches not only your heart, but also your soul.

Once in a lifetime you discover someone who stands beside you, not over you.

You find someone who loves you for who you are, and not for who you could be.

Once in a lifetime, you find someone as you have found each other.

Jenny has been asked to read this at a West Country wedding in the coming springtime and we both wish them well as they join their spiritual lives together and cement the love that they already have found.

May God's great love give them a beautiful day and a joyous liftime together.

OUT OF THE MUNDANE…


Out of the mundane God sometimes shows himself by igniting within the hearts of two people a flame that burns in purity and we call it love.

Those who he chooses to unite as one in His name are doubly blessed, but they need to understand that ‘God’ gives in love, which must never be abused.

By uniting and adhering to this sacred union, we are placed together in God’s love, which is sacred and never ending.

So we must do the same and not by just jointing this man and this woman together, but to join them both with God, so that the strength and harmony and peace may continue always throughout this marriage.

Let their spirits soar together and let them find the joy in their hearts, which can only come from the Spirit as it is God’s gift to both of you at this happy, happy time.
