Purity, Kindness and Love / The Simplicity of Happiness / School Calendar .

The Beauty
of this Earth
tugs at the Strings
of our Heart,
and lifts up the Soul
to Love God.

It is moments
of Sacred Awareness
 that make us strong,
and make us want to be
the better person
that deep inside
we Truly are.

When we consider
the Beautiful Things
God has Created for our World,
let us not forget
the Beautiful Treasure
of your precious
Life.

If you want to get closer
to the Love of our Lord,
 let the Beauty of this World
into your Heart.
These Treasures
have been given to
you,
by our Sacred Lord.

They are
an Expression
of His Divine Love
to you.
.
“He clothes the Lilies of the field.
He feeds the birds in the sky,
And He will feed those who Trust Him,
And Guide them with His Eye.“
– Roger Hoffman

We
can do no better,
than to let them
into our Heart,
and into our
Soul.

The Beautiful
and Enchanting World
of God’s Natural Gifts,
lifts us up and brings us down,
gently and slowly.

It is most inspiring
for self Healing.
As you walk
in His Nature,
look to the Light,
and there you are.
You
are so Beautiful.
.
It is
your Love
that is so Beautiful.
It is
your Light
that shines in the Hearts
of others.

They see you.
.
They
are listening to the Treasures
of your deep feelings,
your Love
for them,
and others.

You are not
alone.
You are deeply
Loved.
  We
are all Blessed
by the Love of God,
found in every leaf
of every Tree,
in every blade of grass,
and every Flower
that is
or ever will be.
.
Live your Life
to the fullest,
by
sharing your Love
with everyone.
Not everyone
had the opportunity
to wake from their sleep
this morning.
The mere fact
that you can witness this Beautiful day
is a Sacred Sign,
that you have been abundantly
Blessed.

 Pray
and give Thanks,
that regardless of the circumstances
of Life,
or what the rest of Life
will be,
God has expressed His Love
so Beautifully.

Our deepest Love,
and our Generosity in giving
our purest Love and our Blessings
to all others in our World,
whomever they may be,
will lead us
to a Truly Happy
Life.
.
How wonderful
our exquisitely Beautiful planet
would be,
if all persons here
achieved a level of Purity,
Kindness and Love
that our Lord
wants us to achieve.

Goodnight.

The Simplicity of Happiness
click here to read more

 Amid our quest for Happiness, our busy schedules can leave us going through the motions and not really enjoying daily life. Happiness, however, does not have to be a complicated or difficult state to achieve or feel. Finding pleasure in simple things every day while taking in our surroundings can help us find moments of simplicity and, ultimately, moments of Happiness. Below are ways to enjoy the simplicity of Happiness.

Smile more

Even though you may not feel like showing your pearly whites, a Smile instantly makes you feel better. Turning up the corners of your lips, even when you don’t feel like smiling, will brighten your mood and remind you of what Happiness is supposed to feel like. Not only will you feel better, but giving someone a smile will make them feel better too, and this smile becomes infectious.

Spend some time alone

Being caught up in work and family commitments can leave you drained and bored. Spending time alone, therefore, is important to your overall mental health. “Me time” gives you time to de-stress, time to re-evaluate your goals and priorities in life and time to regain a zest for Life. Finding simple pleasures while being alone can be as simple as sipping your favorite cup of tea while reading a good book, sketching or taking a walk.

Do something nice for someone

If you’ve ever heard of the concept “pay it forward,” you’ll know that if you were on the receiving end of a good deed, then repaying a good deed by doing a good deed for someone else is a great idea. Whether it’s paying for a stranger’s cup of coffee in the morning lineup or volunteering to help a friend or family member with something they’ve needed help with, doing something nice for someone else may not be completely selfless, but it’s a simple way to feel better. Feeling productive and helpful will make your day as well as someone else’s. So go ahead, pay it forward and hopefully these kind acts will also become infectious.

Keep a happy list

One week, I recorded everything that made me Happy. These things were as simple as good coffee and a good conversation, peanut butter and someone playing with my hair. What I realized is that everything that made me happy was so simple and not materialistic. Try keeping a “Happy list” by recording things that make you Happy throughout your day for a week or two. Aim to record at least two or three things a day, and see what you come up with. Keeping this Happy list handy will remind you of simple ways to be Happy, even on your bad days.

Live in the moment

Corita Kent once wrote, “Life is a succession of moments. To Live each one is to succeed.” This is definitely true when it comes to Happiness. We all worry about the future or are stuck on relationships or problems from the past, but Living in the present moments and fully taking in these moments allow us to enjoy each day as much as possible.

We can find Happiness during whatever overwhelming situations we may be facing by simply taking a deep breath and refocusing our minds on what’s happening around us in a specific moment. This allows us to really feel and sense pleasant things that we may have missed in our busy daily lives.

The Pathway to ALL that you Desire / Tools Of Love / School Calendar

Life
evokes such strong, raw emotions,
that it lays bare
the most fundamental
thoughts.

To Love Life
is so touching, so deeply penetrating 
to the inner Core
of our feelings.

The chains of Love
 may be too weak to be felt,
until they are too strong
to be broken.

Everything rises,
and then starts falling.

Such is True
of our thoughts
and emotions.

To Love
gives us strength
and Peace in our Heart.
♥️

 The Majestic and Beautiful
scenery of God’s Natural World,
  will always Bless you
and hold a special place
in your Heart.

And one Day,
YOU
can come to realize
that you are part
of God’s Nature
and His Natural
World.

Love
carries a True sense
of the Divine.

The Love of
God
is reflected in the
Natural World.
.
His Real World
is filled with Beautiful Space 
and Colorful Warmth.
.
It is enchanting and enveloping
and possesses the most Beautiful
Blessing of all,
YOU.

As we fight 
the enormous battle
for the salvation of Humanity,
we can give Thanks
 to God our Father,
for all the Simple Resources on Earth
and in the Heavens Above.
.
We can give Thanks
for the simple answer to every question,
the solution to every problem –
Love.

When we behold the
Magnificence and Grandeur
of His Creations,
 we are often awe struck
with the Beauty that surrounds us. 
.
How Wonderful
are His Creations,
and how Thankful we should be
that we are
His.

As our eyes and our Hearts
and our minds
gaze into the night sky,
and the Heavens
open our awareness
of God’s Love,
let us arise and return
to the Love
we have known.

Our Home
is in the Heaven
of God’s Love.

The Magnificent Mountains
that Grace the Sky,
nurture our Spirits
as they feed the Earth
and water the Beautiful Landscape.
.
Their presence
empowers our Hearts
with feelings of Peace
and Tranquility.

Life is Wonderful
and Mysterious.
.
In Truth,
everything and everyone is
connected.
We
are here for a reason.
 We all
want to be
Loved.
.
Love
is the connection
we feel,
we need,
and Love
is what we are.

We often overlook
the Wonders of
Life.
.
We pass by
the Beautiful Landscapes
teeming with Life, 
as we breathe the air
that those thousands of years before us
once did.

As we Journey
through the vast spaces
and brief Time
we have on Earth,
we find frivolous things
often transfix and control us.
/
The frivolous fixations
cause us to forget
about the True Beauty
of Life and Living.
.
Let us often pause
to take a deep breath
and contemplate Life
and Love.

When
we realize the truly astounding Nature
of our precious World,
then we will understand
that nothing is as dire
as it may seem.
.
We may feel
insecure and threatened,
but we are surrounded
by God’s Love
and His Nature.

.And, 
we are surrounded by
a vast unknown.
.
Let us
embrace this Moment,
embrace our Beautiful World,
and embrace the precious Gift
of Life.

“Consider the sweet, tender children
Who must suffer on this Earth.
The pains of all of them
He carried From the day of His birth.
He clothes the Lilies of the field,
He feeds the Lambs in His fold,
And He will heal those who Trust Him,
And make their Hearts as
Gold.”
– Roger Hoffman

There are Passages
in the Holy Word of God
where we may cry for
Joy.

  God
will Love your Joy
and Love you in sorrow.
 He will be Compassionate
and Understand your feelings.

As He Listens
to the emotions opening
inside your precious Heart,
His Love
will be Poured Out.
.
His Compassion
will you feel
in the core of your Precious
Being.

Think
of those things you want to do,
and Today stops you
from doing.

Yes,
it is hard to Live a busy Life,
with little Time for Friends, Family
or Yourself.
There seems to be
just enough Time for your work,
your studies,
your obligations.
.
Freedom
seems illusive.
But it is still there,
My Dear Friend.
We are as Free
as we permit ourselves
to be.

Pray
for the strength
to find a Way.
And remember,
the Pathway to ALL
that you desire,
is through the
Heart.

“You can get what you want in Life.
You must reach out
with all your Heart.”
–  Lailah Gifty Akita

 May you be comforted
with Beautiful memories
and precious feelings
of Love.

Goodnight.

Tools Of Love
click here to read more

The tools of love are in fact the tools for change. We can not bring about any change, with in ourselves or around us, unless it is genuinely backed up by Love.

Love is the will to grow ourselves Spiritually and mentally.  Thus to start loving some one begins with loving ourselves first.

Through out my writings, when ever I have used the word love, I have used it with the four senses and meanings or tools which it contains. I therefore am not referring to the love from romance literature or Holly Wood movies when I speak of love.

We grow ourselves through the four tools of love.  Love is the energy with which we use the following four tools in our lives.

Thus if any of the four tools is absent, we can question the genuineness of Love. In a sense, these can also be called the 4 test signs of Love!

Thus to change your self to a higher level, follow the four simple themes. They are not new. They are perhaps as old as the humanity. The key, however is to follow them in total and absolute commitment to yourself to change.

I promise you would change because I have.

The First Tool:

To Love ourselves first we have to be willing to assume and accept one hundred percent responsibility. We have to accept that what ever we are, what ever we are getting in life and how so ever we are spending our lives is determined by us and us alone. i.e. we are responsible.

There are two signs of not accepting the responsibility: blaming and complaining. If we are either blaming others or full of complaints about life and whatever life has to offer to us, we are in fact not being very responsible.

Accepting responsibility means, we created our results in life and only we can re-create them. In re-creating we have to face the pain and go through an effort.

Going through this effort nurtures our spirit and grows us mentally. By not accepting our responsibility, we refuse to grow. We show ourselves that we do not think ourselves worthy of growth and nurturing.

We act non-lovingly.  We act non-responsibly.

Step to do: Just repeat this to yourself 5 times: No blames, No complaints. And commit to yourself to never blame or complain again in life.  Ever!

The Second Tool:

Being able to truly love ourselves involves delaying gratification.

This can be best explained by the experiment conducted with children aged 4 to 6 at Stanford University in 1972.  They were offered marshmallows on a condition. Those children who would eat it right now, would get only one. Those who would chose to eat 30 minutes later would get two. Those who would choose to eat after an hour would get three.

Majority of the children chose to eat now. A little less opted for half an hour wait and further less number of children opted for wait for a full hour.

Years later studying the careers of the children, was discovered that those who were able to delay or defer the gratification had achieved a significantly higher level of success in their career.

Delaying gratification would thus mean postponing instant relief and joy for a much higher cause.

For that first, we have to have a higher cause; a direction or a destiny which we want to achieve. It is a fact that people with aimless lives are not able to exercise delaying gratifications and they can fall for any thing that brings instant joy to their five senses.

We face countless situations in our daily life, where we have to delay our gratification.

There always exists a deferred achievement and an instant gratification for every emotion we feel.  The gratification for anger for example is to take it out, immediately, instantly, with all the frustration on the person whom you think is responsible.  Yet there is a higher achievement reward if we chose to delay our bursting out. It is a high mutual trust, respect and strengthened bond between us and the  person involved.

The gratification for a news paper reading is that no one disturbs us but if our 4 year old kid comes to us with a drawing book, we have to delay our gratification and attend to the child. For a higher reward of bond, love and value.

Step to do: Despite all the lazy day and a dull mood and a grey sullen sky, chose to do the difficult task first. Choose the hard nut to crack first. Begin with the hardest problem. Begin by taking a small step towards the hardest problem. Begin!

The Third Tool:

is observing and succumbing ourselves to Truth.

We have to be determined in its purest sense to bow our heads down before the truth, no matter what it is  or how much does it go against our benefits or previous beliefs or against how we have been handling things previously.

We may have been believing some thing for years and suddenly find out that we were wrong; if we truly love ourselves, we have to accept the truth.

Truth some times is like a tree outside our house, but we often do not know what tree is it or how many branches its’ stem spreads into? Or in many cases, we do not know if a tree is there or not?

If we are not able to do that, we clearly do not love ourselves. We love our egos. We love to keep our head high and believe and make others believe that we were right, but in side deep down of ourselves,  we would know that our size has shrunk.

Step to do: Every single night before retiring to bed. Think about the tasks that you did not do out of laziness. Think about all day that you spent. Think about every important task you did or you could not do. Think about the time that you let go waste. Think that you could have been wrong. Think that you could have accepted a fact, which you did not.

Just keep on doing that. Even if this exercise does not make you take an immediate action, gradually it shall pull you up for taking an action. Taking an action against mental laziness or sticking to your past or to things.

Do not take this exercise as light. Just keep on doing it. It would sow the seeds of transformation, that would germinate into seedlings when the right time comes.

The Fourth Tool:

Keeping  a balance. We tend to lose balance at times. We cannot judge how much time we are supposed to give to our work and to our kids. We lose how much important people are some times as compared to the new promises made to keep a routine and that routine is broken by an unannounced guest.

We have to know how to keep the balance. We have to be a good athlete, a good learner / teacher, a good monk and a good farmer at the same time.

We have to keep a balance between work and personal Life.

We have to keep a balance between physical fitness,  mental and spiritual growth, contribution and financial activities or professional / business life.

Keeping the balance involves wise judgment, which at times becomes quite painful.

Balancing also means to discipline ourselves before we try to discipline our children, subordinates or our spouse. We find our child misbehaving in front of our guests and we feel threatened at our up bringing. So we try to discipline her /him through scolding, lure or threat of being left alone. The act of disciplining has to be disciplined itself. That is called balancing.

Keeping a balance when to allow your son a toy and when not involves a great deal of wisdom. This is often painful. Our willingness to go through this pain is a sign of true love. Keeping a balance is the fourth tool, through which we exercise Love !

Step to do:

Stop considering your life into separate compartments of home, office, social or sport activity.

Rather decide to give equal time to each activity, daily. Though no matter how small the time slot may be.

Decide to take care of your health, walk back home if possible or get off the car 2 miles away and walk the distance. Decide to spend half an hour with your kids, just you and your kids. Spend time to read. Spend time in silence. Daily for ten minutes or fifteen.

Decide to be representing balance and do that. Balance out life and your roles through time. Write your roles and time spent against each role per week and balance that.

Yesss ! that’s hard work. All this is effortful, but who said it wasn’t ? But it is worth the effort.

I wish you all
 Peace.

Hang on
to your Faith.
You will get there.

 

YOU Are / Cancer Supplements, Herbs, Vitamins, Plant Extracts / School Calendar

YOU
are Chosen and Blessed.
Count yourself among the Deeply Loved
by God.
And feel Thankful.

God
formed His Child,
you,
of the Earth
to Love
you.

Hope
has its place
in the Loving
Heart.

Through Prayer,
God will help us
to heal the pain and sorrow,
from the wounds we acquire
from each other and from
ourselves,
God will perform Miraculous Healing
that is like medicine.
There is an unfathomable Peace,
and an inner tranquility
that resides within the Human Heart
when we finally come to know
the Love of God
in us.

My Dear Friends,
we are truly Blessed.
With the help of God,
our dreams are manifesting
with the Gift
of every moment that passes by.
With God by our side,
we will find Love,
and Peace and His Sacred Guidance.
Keep the Light of your Heart
shinning.
God truly Loves
you.

I Pray
we learn to smile,
to spark Hope in the Heart of another,
and to embrace the abundant Love
of our Lord
with gratitude and Praise.
The greatest Happiness we can enjoy
is from the kindness and compassion
we share
with others.

There is much research
that tells us exactly that –
the secret to lasting Happiness
does not lie in what we have,
or what we achieve,
but rather in what we
Give.

You
have a Heart
and an unearthly and Sacred Soul,
and a genuine passion 
to hear the Beautiful melodies
of each moment
in the Song of Life.
.
You
are very rare,
and you possess a rare
Gift –
you can deeply touch
and heal the Hearts of
others.

The Heart of God
soars
when He is witness
to His Love
manifested through
His Child,
YOU.
Do you not feel
the same,
when your Child
Loves another?

“Consider the sweet, tender Children
Who must suffer on this earth.
The pains of all of them He carried
From the day of His birth.
He clothes the Lilies of the field,
He feeds the lambs in His fold,
And He will heal those who trust Him,
And make their Hearts as gold.“
– Roger Hoffman

.God Loves
 us
for this.
He teaches us
that no one is above the others.
No Child is more important than the other.
He teaches humility above everything else,
and reaching the goal
to Worship the Lord.

He is Worthy of Praise.

Imagine Beauty and Life
in bold, bright colors and calm serenity.
It is amazing.
And you CAN
drift off into a different World
of Peace and Happiness.

“Ask and you will receive,
and your Joy will be complete”
– John 16:24

YOU ARE LOVED,

My Dear Friends,
we are here for a purpose.
We have the Gift
to Love and care for
one another.
The people on this fragile planet,
and all other Beautiful Creations,
need our tender Loving care,
our thoughtful actions,
and our Prayer.
Let go of your hatred and anger
and bitterness.

Our Beautiful Life Purpose
is to make this World
a more Loving, Peaceful and Joyful place
for ALL of Life.
To help billions of people
to awaken to the incredible power
of God’s Love
that resides within each of us,
to open
the Pure Life Force
of Love
that flows through YOU
from God.

Give and receive
goodness.
Receiving
is another way
you know that God says
“I Love You”.

When we think we are
all alone,
we are, in reality,
never alone.
Take a moment
each precious day,
to count your Blessings,
Blessings that come from
the Bountiful and Beautiful
Love of God.

Try earnestly to be more positive
about Life.
Leave the past,
follow the future,
Leave the cold,
feel the warm,
Leave the old,
embrace the new,
Leave the tried
that was not True,
and read the Word
of God
to know what
to do.

.On a rainy day,
when the Sky is gray
and each drop of rain
is longing to be a tear,
  do not open the window
of grief and regret,
you will get
wet.
Remember,
Lives come together
in times of need,
and they are changed
like never before.

This is the way Life should be.
It is the way
Life can be.

We need to smile,
we need to dance
and be Happy!

The World will be a better place
if YOU
just…..
dance!

When we feel stressed, 
disordered in our thinking,
soothing music will give the Heart
a pathway which leads
to Peace.
Beautiful sounds
can deeply resonate within us
and we can feel like we are miles away from
the perception of reality,
and with endless Peace of mind.
Let us give thanks
for the Beautiful Music
in this World.

Music
will massage the
Heart.

Close your eyes,
think back to a time
when everything was good,
and you were in a Happy place.
That Happy Time can
return.
What were you doing?
Do it again.
Where were you?
Go there again.
Who were you with?
Find you a Friend.
Get Happy again.
.
Goodnight.

Remembering
– – –   the beginning.

The Children supervise the moving of their new school.

The old Oak Grove Baptist Church building
was given a new Life
as the Anderson Private School.

And we are on our way!

It is 1991

We got a police escort.

 

This was not easy.

 

We were located briefly on Chapel Creek.

YOU
are the proof that perfection
actually exists.

 

 

 

 

In Harmony With Your Heart / A Little Doorway In A Dark Wall / Sept. 1 – We Begin Again

As Human Beings,
we have the opportunity
 to experience Life
as a Journey
of Love.

This precious Life
CAN  bring us
to the center of our Blessed Hearts,
and our Earth.
We can come to realize
just how Beautiful it truly is.
Your precious Heart
can be filled with
Sacred Awareness.

To become aware
is always
an emotional journey.
Your emotions
are the deepest and most precious part
of your fragile Being.
How you feel
is much more significant
than your physical being.

The Human Heart
swells from all the pain and sorrow.

The range of emotions we feel
is like no other phenomenon
we can experience
or try to explain.
Our feelings range from
the simple,
to the most complex
and
the most misunderstood.

What makes you feel happy to be alive? It is simple. And it is called LOVE.

Our stirring emotions
range from gentle waves
lapping upon the clay of our shore,
to the violent storms
of war
after war,
after war,
after war.
Oh My God!
WHEN
will we war
no more?
.
 In our brief moment of Life,
sorrow surfaces and tears provide some release
from damaging emotional scars.

But,
My Dear Friends,
our feelings
are not meant to be caged.
Their feathers are too bright.
And when they fly away,
part of you knows
it is a sin to lock them up.
The place we Live in
will be empty and meaningless
if
they are no more.

So share
all the Love
hidden deep inside,
and go
to war
no more.

                                          It is simple.

Life is Beautiful.
And with the movement of the Tides,
and the lapping of emotional waves
upon our fragile shores
made of clay,
the discord and dissonance
can be coupled with the Forgiveness
we crave,
and give Life and reason
to our Beliefs,
and Glory
to our Being.

Your Love
can be contemplative, reflective and enriching
to your Soul,
in as much as you give,
as much as you
receive.
.
“All men live lives
of quiet desperation.”
– T.S. Elliot

Prayer
creates a little doorway
in a dark wall
of unawareness and lack of Faith.
But,
when you step through it,
you can breath,
and Life is good to you
again.
The realization
that God truly Loves us,
penetrates the core within.

This moment,
is an instant,
that can be taken out of Time,
and alter Life
by holding it still
in deep reflection.

Only if you have been
in the deepest valley,
can you ever know how magnificent
it is to be
on the highest Mountain.
.
 Such awareness
connects you
with all the Love
hidden deep inside.
.
“Love does not end at death,
only
the lack of Love ends it.”
– Jim Morrison

                              It is reflected in YOU.

My Dear Friends,
GO OUTSIDE.
Get far away from the illusions
of Human constructs.
Ninety degree angles and straight linear formations
and not Natural,
are boring
and bind you to a habitual
and unthinking Life.

Our minds
and our imaginations
become so limited when exposed to
virtually nothing but straight lines
and box shapes in the environment.
We literally can no longer think
“outside the box”.
.
We ingrain these repetitive
formations and patterns
in our minds by over exposure to them,
and they become a part of us
and limit our thinking and our creativity.
They become our first and second nature,
because the repetition has entered
into our subconscious minds.
.
The shapes of our houses,
and everything inside and out,
and the things found throughout our cities
and our Lives,
that we are constantly exposed to,
blind us to the real nature
of what is truly real,
what is
Natural.

Ask yourself:
what shapes
occur in Nature?

                      What shapes occur in Nature?

.And think
about what makes you
aware of your surroundings:
what the ground feels like
underneath your bare feet,
how the fresh air smells around you,
how stunningly Beautiful
the Birds of the air
can be.

We simply MUST
become aware of
where we are,
what we are doing.

Sharing your gifts
brings awareness.
By sharing
you truly know
what a Gift you are,
and how much you truly
mean to others.

This Dream
of our brief Lives
is covered with a veil
of Beautiful
Blessings.
And like the Rays of our Sun,
can deeply touch everyone.

The World is so Beautiful
and
it is reflected
in YOU.

                     Upon the real pathway of Life.

Walk along a path
created not by our kind,
but by God’s Loving Nature.
.
Feel
the warm and gentle breeze
as it caresses your face.
And as the green leaves
are swaying in the wind,
you will come to realize,
they are in tune with your thoughts,
in Harmony
with your Heart.

My Friends,
the World and we
are one.

As delicate Flowers unfold
to greet you
upon the real pathway
of Life,
they will Light up your Spirit
and lift you
to beyond.
They Love you.
,
Let the gentle flow of their Joy
fill you with delight.
Smile and sing
and realize that
here is now,
and in this moment
is the entire and Beautiful
meaning of Life.

God’s Love
is in every fluttering Leaf,
emanating from every Beautiful Flower,
in every breeze,
every moment.
.
The Source of your Life,
is the same Inspiration
and Infinite Love.

“Consider the lilies of the field,
How they grow, how they grow.
Consider the birds in the sky,
How they fly, how they fly.
He clothes the lilies of the field.
He feeds the birds in the sky.
And He will feed those who trust Him
And guide them with His Eye.”
– Roger Hoffman
.
The Beautiful World
God Created for you,
is also within you.

Goodnight.

The Sheltered Arms Of Love / Multitasking Is Detrimental / Friday: Chandor Garden

Dedicated to
Natalie.
Always know
That
We Love You
And we miss you.
Our thoughts
And our Prayers
Are with you
Each and every
Day.
May God
Always
Abide in your
Precious Heart.

“Your Heart
is where your inner light resides.
It is part of every Sacred journey
to reconnect with your inner light,
step into your Divinity,
spread the light of Love before you,
return to the essence of Love,
and inspire others to do the same.”
― Molly Friedenfeld

          Do not look with your eyes.

When
Can my Heart
Come Home?

When
Does my Sacred Journey
Begin?

My,
How we suffer
On this Earth,
So unknowing, unaware
That all the pain
May simply disappear,
That we may be healed,
Clothed in Forgiveness,
Gifted of recreation,
Made new,
Like the morning Sun,
Baptized
And refreshed,
Like beautiful Flowers
Opening their blossoms,
Anointed with the morning dew,
Made ready
For another new day
In which to dance
With the wind
And play.

   Anointed with the morning dew.

Our pilgrimage
To such Joy
As we have never known,
Is not outward
Into the unknown.
It is to the center
Of the Human Heart.

Do not look
With your eyes,
My Friend,
They will never see
What you are
Looking for.

Be still
And Listen,
And you will hear
A Sacred call
To discover in yourself
What has been there all along:
God’s Abiding Love
That can keep you
Vibrantly alive,
Truly in Love with Life,
And strong.

God’s Truth will penetrate into your precious Heart.

The sorrows that confound you,
From the world all around you,
Can simply
Disappear.

For the Dreamscape
Your Being may bring,
Of Love and laughter and Prayer,
Can lead to a Landscape
Overflowing with God’s
Very Tender,
Loving Care.

“And I say unto you,
Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find;
knock,
and it shall be opened unto you.”
– Luke 11:9

As we pass through
The shadows of life’s illusions,
And enter into
The Eternal Light of Truth,
We wield
The Sword of the Spirit
Which is the powerful
Word of God,
Tempered
In the Hot, Scorching Fire of
His Everlasting Love.

We must learn
How to use the Sword
Of the Holy Spirit.

“The Word of God
is living and active.
Sharper than any double-­edged sword,
it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit,
joints and marrow;
it judges the thoughts
and attitudes of the Heart.”
– Hebrews 4:12

My Dear Friends,
Read the Word of the Lord
And you will be renewed
And strengthened
In body, mind and Spirit.
God’s Truth will penetrate
Into your precious Heart.
Then your Sacred Journey
Will begin.
And joy,
As you have never known,
Will enter your Life.

“Be Still and listen to your heart. 
It is the voice of God 
pulsating to the rhythm of the Universe
 transmitting a message 
through your soul to you.”
– Carolyn Odom Burleson

You can deafen the silence we endure.

“I will be the gladdest thing
under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
and not pick one.”
– Edna St. Vincent Millay

.
Your Heart
Is able
To truly sing.

And if you are still
And listen,
You can
Deafen the silence
We endure.

Yes, My Friends,
Dark days
Will come.
They must come.

“Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.”
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

With Faith and Hope
And the Treasured
Word of God,
Light and Beauty
Will also come.

“Consider the sweet, tender children
Who must suffer on this earth.
The pains of all of them
He carried from the day of His birth.

He clothes the lilies of the field,
He feeds the lambs in His fold,
And He will heal those who trust Him,
And make their hearts as gold.”
– Roger Hoffman

The great fear
For each of us,
Is that
We may not hear,
Never know,
The joy of Pure Love
God will show.
But,
You need fear
No more.

Refreshed like beautiful Flowers.

Be still and listen.
Your song
He is singing
In the Sunlit sky
Of every morning.
With each new day
His Creation of the Dawn
Is a Sacred Call
To discover ourselves
In the Sheltered Arms
Of Love.

Don’t let the Love
Of Life
Pass you by,
Or the Life
Of Love
Will surely die.

“A flower blossoms
for its own joy.”
– Oscar Wilde

Dark clouds need never rise
As we cross over
Rivers deep
Of doubt,
And wide
Of deepening despair.

    Dark clouds need never rise.

For God discloses
The joy of Human Love
As He abides
With us
In the Poetry
Of Prayer.

Goodnight.

“All the flowers
of all the tomorrows
are in the seeds
of today.”
– Indian Proverb

From our friends at
NaturalNews.com by: Ethan A. Huff:
Science proves
these seven herbs provide powerful protection
against liver cancer and liver damage:

More than 10 percent of the world’s population
currently suffers from some form of liver disease,
whether it be fibrosis, cirrhosis, a hepatocellular carcinoma,
alcoholic steatosis, or chronic hepatitis.
And a great number of these folks
use some kind of natural remedy as treatment
rather than pharmaceuticals,
according to a 2012 study published
in the European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.

According to the paper,
the following herbs and herb-derived remedies
are among the top contenders
in this natural fight against liver disease:

1) Curcumin  (turmeric derivative)
2) Wogonin (Scutellaria radix). This monoflavonoid compound isolated from skullcap root shows incredible promise in the treatment of both Hepatitis B and C, as well as various forms of alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
3) Glycyrrhizin (Glycyrrhiza glabra). This active constituent of licorice root has long been used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis, and also possesses a host of natural anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties.
4) Resveratrol. This polyphenolic phytochemical derived from berries, grapes and wine, has gained itself a solid reputation as one of the most potent anti-aging compounds found in nature.
5) Silymarin (Silybum marianum). This compound derived from milk thistle is arguably the most well-studied in the natural treatment of liver disease.
6) Rhein. This anthraquinone derived from rhubarb is known to have powerful anti-cancer properties.
7) Geniposide (Gardenia jasminoides). This compound of the gardenia plant is particularly beneficial in treating hyperlipidemia and fatty liver disease.   read more

A study at the University Of London
found that subjects who multitask
experienced drops in their IQ
comparable to someone who missed a night of sleep.
Even if multitaskers feel like they’re getting more done,
they’re working at a much lower cognitive level.

Research repeatedly tells us
that multitasking is detrimental to our brain.

And the cognitive costs get worse.
If you’re a multitasker,
you might have done some
serious permanent damage,
as a study that ran MRI scans
on the brains of multitaskers
found they had less brain density
in areas that controlled empathy and emotions.

So,
Slow down.
Do one thing at a time
And do it well,
But NOT too well.

Remember,

“Moderation in ALL things.
Including moderation.”
– Benjamin Franklin

On FRIDAY March 4, 2016, we will meet at school to depart at 9:00 a.m. to arrive at 10:00 a.m. at the CHANDOR GARDENS, at 711 West Lee Ave. in Weatherford – Telephone 817-613-1700.

Douglas Chandor

Our Self- guided tour starts at 10:00 a.m. We will spend approximately 1½ hours on our tour. Following the tour, we will travel to the Whistle Hill Café in Weatherford to enjoy lunch.

Following lunch, we will return to school to work on our Shakespeare Production, Hamlet, with our wonderful Director, George X Rodriguez. Pick-up is at the School at 3:15 p.m.

Chandor Gardens is a unique world-class paradise featuring an enchanting array of creativity, color and beauty. The gardens were lovingly designed and created by renowned English portrait artist Douglas Chandor over 70 years ago yet remain a spectacular marvel. Douglas painted portraits of Edward, Duke of Windsor, the young Prince of Wales, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Queen Elizabeth among many others.

When Douglas Chandor married Weatherford native Ina Kuteman in 1935, she convinced him to build their home and garden in the heart of her hometown. Although his claim to fame was his talent as an artist, Douglas found his real passion as a gardener. He once told Ina that his talent for painting was merely a means that enabled him to fulfill his dreams of building a “living artwork”.

Douglas Chandor’s destiny would be to turn these dreams into a reality. The gardens, originally called White Shadows, were carved from 4 acres of rock-hard terrain that was once a cow pasture. The project began in 1936 with the aid of picks, shovels, dynamite and mule-drawn plows. Truckloads of topsoil and tons of boulders were brought in to transform the barren cactus-dotted property into a peaceful haven enclosed by hedges and walls.

Chandor devised a series of garden rooms, each with individual character and stunning views, all connected by meandering walkways. His creation combines the styles and ambiance of Chinese and English gardens with such delights as fountains, grottos, and even a mountain waterfall.

The Chandors worked tirelessly together in the gardens until Douglas’ death in 1953, at which time Ina renamed them Chandor Gardens as a tribute to her husband. The gardens remained open to the public until shortly before her death in the late 1970s. Because there were no direct heirs, the property remained unattended, overgrown and deteriorating for 20 years.

In 1994, local residents Charles and Melody Bradford purchased the estate and took on the enormous task of restoring the gardens and home. In what could only be described as a true labor of love, they painstakingly spent years clearing and cleaning away the debris of decades of neglect.

Many large old trees, Douglas’ original wisteria and boxwood plantings, and his magical hardscapes remained. Everything else was replanted by the Bradfords, and thanks to their efforts Chandor Gardens was once again transformed into a lush tranquil delight.

Please observe the POLICIES of the Garden. Uniform pants with a belt, polished shoes & red monogrammed school shirts are required.
PARENTS/GUARDIANS/NEIGHBORS/SIBLINGS/ are always invited to participate on our trips.

Please do not disturb Dr. A. should he be found on the trail all alone and asleep or muttering incoherently to himself or some
passerby or a frog or a tree or a bug. You get the picture!

Students are NOT to leave any facility at any time for any reason, including the need to secure a ride, without the approval of Dr. or Mrs. Anderson.

FINANCIAL: Admission: children – $2.00 / Adults $3.00
Please pay at the Garden.
