Blessings, love and peace to you and all beings.
Here are some photos of art which came into being through me yesterday.
Anywhere you go liking everyone, everyone will be likable.
Mignon McLaughlin.
In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer
and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made to God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honourable,whatsoever things are just,whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
PHIL. 4 :6-8
The connection in these verses between great praying and right thinking is not accidental. A man cannot habitually indulge in mean, perverse, or abominable thoughts and suddenly come out of them into unimpeded communion with God. An automobile can be shifted from "low" to "high" with a stroke of the hand, but not so a man`s mind. The price of real prayer is habitual self-disciplin in thinking - the pure in heart see God. Sherwood Eddy says that the great Madras Young Men`s Christian Association building was held up for months, after the site was chosen, the plans drawn, and the money provided, because two shanty-owners would not let go their hold on a little ground in the centre of the plot. What is the mane of that shanty in your mind which is holding up the great building of character and service for which God has the plans and the means ready?
Give me a pure heart o Lord and put a right spirit within me. (this is a little prayer I say almost every day and which is a line I use from a psalm.)
You all have a good day, in the knowledge that you are loved so much. Your brother, Peter.
