"O my God! O my God! Unite the hearts of Thy servants, and reveal to them Thy great purpose. May they follow Thy commandments and abide in Thy law. Help them, O God, in their endeavor, and grant them strength to serve Thee. O God! Leave them not to themselves, but guide their steps by the light of Thy knowledge, and cheer their hearts by Thy love. Verily, Thou art their Helper and their Lord."

Happy Saturday

The "Blogging Circle of Friends "  prompt for DAY 2155
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream. Khalil Gibran
Let this quote inspire your blog entry.

Memories and Dreams

This week, I read all six article in the series Turning to Your Dreams for Spiritual Guidance   by David Langness. This weekend I plan to read the two articles in the series Pondering the Deep Wisdom of Dreams   by Paul Mantle, and, next week, read the six articles in the series Follow Your Dreams & Meet Your Soul   by David Langness. Any thoughts those articles, or the sacred quotes in those articles, inspire I will place in the entries in "Writing in Snow" , along with my gratitude lists.


Dreams, as I believe I've written before, have played an important part of my spiritual journey. In fact, two dreams inspired my spiritual journal. I wrote about those dreams in "Friday Contemplations on dreams, Gratitude List, and poem" . The two dreams that began my spiritual journey have stay with through out the years. I didn't know what the meant until I came to Las Vegas and encountered the Baha'i Faith; that's when the dreams became clear to me.

Memories and dreams help an individual move forward in life. Memories are either traumatic or happy, that's why we remember them. We have to learn to deal with the traumatic memories in some way or they stop us from moving forward. I've found the best way to deal with traumatic memories is to pray about them, place them in God's hands, and write about them. I write about the happy memories, laugh, and give thanks for them. I suspect I should be giving thanks for the traumatic memories, as well, because they have helped me learn about myself and strengthened my faith once I placed them in God's hands.

The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  prompt for DAY 1762
Have fun with these 13 words---- prescription, separation, aunt, training, generate, moment, carbon, course, cheat, glue, residence, beg, and introduce.

Seven Poems
Using the Thirteen Words

1

I have found a prescription for living,
in this would of separation and affliction,
and that prescription
is reliance
on God.


2

I take a moment
to intone a prayer
of thanksgiving and praise
for the fire of divine love
that burns away
the veils of dogma
that separates
me from humanity.

3

Love is the glue
that holds
aunt to niece
and rebuilds the residence
lost in an F5 tornado.

4

Faith
is the training manual
for the soul
of the believer.

5

Humanity's carbon footprint
is deep and dark
upon the planet Earth;
we need to find
a course of action
that will lighten
our footprint.

6

Do not cheat
your Lord,
beg God's forgiveness
of any offenses.

7

Generate joy
in the heart of humanity,
and introduce
your bright and happy smile.

30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS  (13+)
WDC's Longest Running Blog Competition - Hiatus
#1786069 by Fivesixer

If you could have a/n [inter]national day to name and celebrate however you wished, what would you do?

I already celebrate or commemorate several worldwide Holy Days with the Baha'i Community. I thought about the international days I would name myself, and only three came to mind. Those would be World Citizen Day, Golden Rule Day, and Try A Little Kindness Day; however, two of those are already taken. World Citizen Day   is celebrated on November 4 and International Golden Rule Day   is April 5. This leaves me with Try A Little Kindness Day, which, I think, should be celebrate on August 8 the day Glen Campbell   died.


Glen Campbell faced several challenges in his life. The three main challenges he dealt with were alcoholism, drug addiction, and Alzheimer's disease.3 Therefore, I believe Try A Little Kindness Day should do two things (1) encourage people across the world to be kind to each other, (2) focus international attention on Alzheimer's disease, alcoholism, and drug addiction. The battles Mr. Campbell faced are worldwide problems, which impact families across the planet.

International Try A Little Kindness Day

"You got to try a little kindness, yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see"
Glen Campbell, Try a Little Kindness4

On International Try A Little Kindness Day join the world community in spreading kindness and educating people on Alzheimer's disease, alcoholism, and drug addiction. If you believe you or a relative is afflicted by one of the diseases, find out more about the problem so that you can deal with it. Perform a random act of kindness or donate to an authentic charity that helps individuals with Alzheimer's disease, alcoholism, and drug addiction. Be proactive in showing kindness to your fellow human beings because they are a part of the family of humanity.
