Increase Your Faith with Simple Reminders

Keeping faith is easier on some days and harder on others. Simple reminders can help to increase our faith on the more difficult days.

There are many ways to place reminders about your home or work space. Something with the word faith on it is the best thing to use. I have mine on a candle-holder and I cannot tell the countless times that one candle-holder has gotten me through the day or a particularly rough spot. I don’t seek it out; it just seems to always show up in my line of vision at the very moment I need to see it, otherwise I don’t usually even notice it is there.

Posters or plaques are another great idea;
So too are any visual with a quote including the word faith.
Other ideas might be a key-chain or a garden rock, a hot plate in the kitchen; the ideas are endless.

Don’t place them in a mainstream place but don’t hide them out of the way either. They need to be in a place so that when you do see it (which will be exactly when you need it), it will be seen but if placed too prominently, it can lose its impact if you are seeing it too often.

At other times, I have simply written the word on a piece of paper, sticking it in a book or drawer or trinket bowl, and inevitably find it at exactly the moment I need it.

Whatever you decide to do, just the smallest item or reminder strategically placed, can be the biggest of help on the harder days.

Enlightenment and Awakening Easier Than We Think

After decades of seeking enlightenment and awakening, I now understand that these things; these ideas, these concepts, have been so over complicated and made to seem as if they are a state unattainable to most. It is made to seem that that they are only to be achieved by the great masters. Though nothing is black and white, on the one hand, there may be degrees; but on the other hand can you be only partially awake? Partially enlightened? Either you are or you are not. As long as I was seeking to be, I was not, for seeking kept me so busy that I could not settle within myself long enough to wake up. And both terms are as simple as that: waking up, allowing the light of God to illuminate our spiritual sight. There are no fireworks, it is not some un-achievable level (like some religions and philosophies would have us believe). It is a simple matter of waking up. All that is required is to allow God to move into your “house” and let the light shine. This begins with asking Him

Words Across Time

Words linger. Whether it is audible, something spoken to us or something we read, words linger in our minds and stick like glue. Words are one of the few things that set us apart from all the other animals and living things, we can speak. Is it any wonder that the memory of a mother’s soft coo can so strongly calm and send us to the kitchen for a cup of coco or that the memory of a scolding can set us trembling? Words are positive, negative or neutral; neutral words have little effect but words of a positive or negative nature can lift up and inspire or tear down and destroy. In a sense, they are our strongest power and thus the power of words move with us across time. St. Catherine Christine de Pisan Whether I am reading the Bible or an ancient manuscript crafted out a thousand or more years ago by isolated monks on some remote island or a contemporary twentieth century author who has now passed, it never ceases to amaze me that I get to hear their thoughts acr
