Touched by the Spirit

I woke up well before the alarm this morning, a call not to be late for the early morning service at 6.30a.m. I felt it would be a special day and indeed, I felt the gracious presence of the Lord, the moment I knelt down to pay homage; one of those blessed days. I know He is truly in the midst of the congregation, because there is such a stirring in my heart, each time a hymn was sung, words of worship uttered and mercy asked for. The words just sprung forth a fresh meaning ...... to became a two way bonding with the Lord. . Doesn't happen all the time, but , this morning, it was a wham! Maybe it was because, of the early hour, Maybe, it was the mass itself....I really do not know....

..

The letters of St Paul is truly remarkable in that it was Spirit inspired and enpowered not only to teach,impart wisdom and guidance but also to provide a pathway to action the legacy, Christ left for us, Love God and in so doing , shower love upon the whole wide world , because God is Love itself. Paul was called to be the apostle of the Gentiles, from whence the seeds of the Word shall spring up and multiply to all corners of the world , thrive and gain strength.. Acts 13:47. "I have set you to be a light for the Gentiles that you may bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the world."

To me, God intents that love and charity should begin at home....For those who chose higher love and devotion to God, ...over -marriage and human needs, great will be their blessings in heaven, to them the task of a good sheperd had been entrusted. But for those who chose to raise a family, theirs is a another kind of blessings, and a different set of responsibilities.... committment to provide love, care and safe sanctuary to those they call their own. In so doing, they build a house of stone from where they plant and nuture good family values, attitudes and love in their young ones, building a strong foundation of love, values and peace which will ultimately flow outwards to all people -church, community, society and to the whole universe --irrespective of race, culture, religion or creed. We are brothers and sisters..... children of one God. Peace, and joy and loving one another starts from a good home , whatever choice our young children make in life, whatever paths, they later walk in life..believe it or not, it starts from a home planted seed.
