Showers of Mercy (rerun)
Surely Goodness and Mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of God forever… ~~Psalm 23 Hello all 🙂 I’m going to be off the grid the next several days, but I wanted to do another 2010 post before I leave. It seems like a good time for a few “best of” posts, so here ya go… It is interesting to me that I originally posted this one in July, but I won’t have to change a single word for it to be applicable again today. A lot of folks are having a rough time right now, it’s been a deep year for a lot of people. I...

Your friends, family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing. -Jim Rohn OK, so I admit it. I’m not normally a reader of Max Lucado’s work. But I have had many chats lately with a lot of people feeling pain about the “hellidays,” family time, obligations and expectations, stresses and so on. Not a lot of excitement about connecting with the famdamly in these conversations. So, I thought I’d pass along something someone sent me about how...

Love is patient, love is kind… It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres… Love never fails… And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. ~~1 Corinthians 13 I thought a lot about those verses from 1 Corinthians the last week or so. They are often used at weddings as the example of pure love, of how we are to interact with another, but the full verse is the example of God’s Love for us. But I think they are also an aspiration for many of us, one that I don’t live out as well as I’d like, if I...

I don’t know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? ~~From The Summer Day, by Mary Oliver It’s a gorgeous here, an Indian Summer day that begged me to, as John Muir once said, “Grab a bag of tea and a loaf of bread and hop the...
Read MoreSpirituality of Grief and Joy
Hello! 🙂 I received a few questions this week about the differences in the blogs I write, so allow me to clarify a few things about the differences in the blogs from Blessings Enterprises… The Blessings Blog you are now reading was created to discuss topics specifically related to the work we do at Blessings Enterprises. So I will post things about events, education, cool healing things happening around town, blog about healing or techniques, have a thought of the day or whatever. But since so many of my clients are out of town, I didn’t want to just fill your in-box with...

Hello all! I’ve had several requests lately to publish a few of the questions I usually ask Blessings Coaching clients. I did a larger post on this today in the Spirituality Blog so feel free to check that out! Here is a sample of the Questions, but you can read more on the full post at the Spirituality blog. Humans get angry or upset about a variety of things. What is upsetting to me may not be upsetting to you. What’s important to your spouse, boss, friends or family may not be important to you, or the other way around. Hurt feelings and reactions often result from unmet...
