Love this!
 

I sent this to Barbo and she commented that

"Sure excludes a lot of other religions!"

She's right, it does but I still love the music.

Don't kill the messenger. :D

Messinger Should Live
 

So the song is focused upon a feature word "My" when singing of my savior.
Other faiths have their focus. Ours has this, and He is the reason I still type and am not bones in a small place.

Thus, Alffe, thank you for bringing this among others..... to me!
Merry Christmas,
Mark56:)

Healing After Loss Daily Meditations for Working Through Grief
 

Every religion has its miracles. For Christians, the miracle of Christ's life, death, and resurrection; for Jews, the escape from Egypt and manna in the wilderness; for Muslims, the ascension of Mohammed from Jerusalem to Heaven.

And we have our own miracles of love - of family stories of reconciliations, of recoveries that defy medical explanation but are laid to someone's faith. Perhaps in our faith communities we see other miracles of love - the dispossessed made to feel at home, the hungry fed, bonds of understanding and mutual joy forming across cultural and racial differences. And in our society at large we see, again and again, the outpouring of food and clothing and shelter to unknown victims of disaster.

Of course there are glitches - in personal relationships as in international efforts. Others are not always sensitive to our needs - nor are we to theirs. Given that each of us inhabits a unique and private world, maybe it's a miracle that we get along as well as we do. So at this season of celebration and longing, let's raise a glass or an inner hurrah, even in our sadness, for the gifts of love wherever we find them - in strangers, in our loved ones, and in our own hearts as well.

Have you considered the basic goodness of human beings?

For me, that is a HUGE leap of faith! I'm old, I'm cynical, I'm fearful, but I have hope and I believe in something greater than the "basic goodness of human beings." ;)

Thank you Alffe
 

Good morning Alffe,I am so glad to hear that you meditate,I meditate every day I just was a little scared to be it up,most of the time if I say that I meditate people look at me like I just fell off my rocker:hug::hug:

Meditation and Focus
 

The world is filled with folks fallen from rockers, for they have all paused to contemplate the more difficult matters of life or just the moment experienced, though pleasant, in a meditative state. I learned through counselling the meditative approach when my life had to deviate from Type A behavior..... reaching instead for a place within where peace existed, from there reaching as I do in prayer.

All of this ultimately led to the realization which dawned...... no human is without the ability to acknowledge Blessings although many will have belief the Blessing point of origin might be different.

Bearing this in mind, I pushed forward into the world with a different approach, abandoning the "Hi howareya monotone which rsonates on sidewalks the world over. Instead, I great all with "I am Blessed, thanks, how are you?"

Every person greeted thus has been willing to STOP, turn, and speak in appreciation there is something different being intoned.

Blessings,

Well, I am definitely off my rocker but hadn't considered that it could be temporary. :D Not sure that I meditate...tho I definitely contemplate..life, "stuff"....trying to get my ducks in a row and forgive transgressions..mostly ones I have committed. Once you get "up" off the floor..you really need to have somewhere to go....for me it's usually down on my knees. :o

Lovely thought - Moving thought - Incredible thought

Calluses
 

So that is where the calluses on my knees come into play. :)

Beautiful post Alffe!
