With God’s goodness comes the light of the soul; whence comes life itself. Sheltered by this divine triumvirate of purity, we are thus ushered at birth into the curiously uncertain ways of the world.
Fate alone determines our home environ and upbringing, whether that of love or otherwise. Human will and intuition, although present at birth, play but a minor role in our survival and well-being throughout infancy and early childhood. Similarly, our capacity for reason is of little help early on, as this trait is a concomitant of developing maturity. Thus, for better or worse, do we become prey in our formative years to all that befalls us.
Midst all the worldly dross that has come to veil our soul and threaten our spirituality, we ofttimes lose our way. In the doing, we tend to forget God’s role in life. Only when we reclaim our birthright, namely, God’s goodness and His love, will we as well reclaim our humanity.
Mindful contemplation, whereby thoughts of God’s divine love take us to a higher spiritual plane, enables us to love ourself and others. Thus blessed, and in giving freely of ourself to others, are we healed and made well.

“Thus, for better or worse, do we become prey in our formative years to all that befalls us.”
Knowing at an early age that I was adopted, set the wheels-in-motion for a life different from that of my peers. My adoptive mom, God bless her, told me the story she was told… that my birth mom was from Scotland and I had a sister. Adding to the wheels-in-motion, my adoptive parents divorced. For many, many years I struggled with emotions I didn’t understand and behaviours I wasn’t proud of. I had lost my way. Years later… Garry and I found my birth-family of not one special sister but two, three wonderful brothers and their welcoming families! God’s divine love has taken me to a higher spiritual plane…I am forever grateful! blw
