Cozy Woodland Grove

We all need a sanctuary in order to escape the rigors of daily life. This place may be a church or temple. It may be a small room in your home or it may be a quiet, park-like setting with minimal human traffic. Regardless of where it is, it is important to have a place to go when you need some quiet time.

When we take the time that we need to refresh, rejuvenate and restore our mind, body and spirit, it is amazing to discover a sudden renewal of energy. Religion knew this and set aside one day a week for rest. Employers know this because they offer paid vacation time. Even politicians know that you cannot hammer away at the population without a break!

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“Take the time you need to revitalize your being. You are always worth it.” tc

Beauty with a Purpose

I was watching several butterflies today and suddenly, I thought, “What is the purpose of a butterfly?” Do you know? I didn’t, so I did a little research.

Besides being beautiful, a butterfly has an important part to play in the ecology of many life systems. Butterflies pollinate plants, which help fruits, vegetables and flowers to produce new seeds. This is a similar action that bees carry out. Butterflies are also food for birds, mammals and other insects.

Did you know that no two butterflies are exactly the same? Also, butterflies display every color of the rainbow! Here is one more bit of fact for you, butterflies have lived on earth for at least 150 million years and are found everywhere but Antarctica. Not only are they beautiful insects…..they also have an important part in balancing nature.

Everything that the Divine created has a purpose. Four-legged animals, insects, birds, fish and even the trees and vegetation live by instinct or cellular/chemical direction.

Humans are provided instinct and cellular/chemical direction to guide their lives. However, they are also given a complex and powerful tool called a brain. Our brain is the mechanism for our development and growth. This IS the instrument of our co-creation with God.

Through the balancing of our mental (chemical), emotional (instinctual), physical and spiritual aspects, we can possess the Light of God and co-create beautiful things around us. This is the purpose of your life.

So, on that note the quote of the day is:

“Live out your purpose by spreading the Loving Light of God.” tc
