An unexpected Gift..

There are some incidence in our lives which make us aware God is watching over us and He see to every aspect of our lives. I was aspiring for two books which I wished I could own for my recent reading and research I am doing but could not 'cos one was expensive and the other was out of print. One of my friend who has both loaned me one of them for some time and I had to return it before I could finish with it as he himself was referring to it for his work.

Yesterday, I accidentally got an opportunity to meet the spokesperson of the big organization which had actually printed the expensive book and he considering my interest and the work I am doing gifted me a prized copy of the very book I was longing for.

Without realizing, I stood up and bowed as I saw God's Hand working through him.

Wonderful are your ways and amazing the way You read the minds of your faithfuls...

A blessed one

Rosary Month

Work and efforts for bread was little too occupying this month that, missed being in the church for long.

Bread

Wishing everyone the strength and grace to enjoy their toil for bread. Blessed are they who can earn theirs from work they love to do.

Illusion

Life and its illusions. Its difficult to see through the happiness, sorrows and the other emotions and its phases life bring to us. We go up and down with it. Some elate and exhilarate us, some broke us. But the end we know we are carried away and has missed the point.

At those times, when we are blinded by the "Maya" the thought of the eternal existence, the memories of the titbits of the true colors of the real being, keep us going, without being too much affected by the illusion.

Thank you

Any merit, any worth,
If any little streak of beauty shining through,
The coils of my mind, in my deeds,
Its Your Way, My Lord,
Though miserably I fail often,
When I try to follow.

Thank You for giving me a heart, atleast to try to Walk Your Way and be at peace with the world. 

Consolations

As the years pass and our mind evolves, we learn to face the storms in life, realizes the fact that the tough hour will pass and our reliance on the Almighty help us to survive the incidents without any emotional wounds. Last week I got the opportunity to hear Fr. Mathew Naickomparambil stress this again. Just when we are down with our miserable situations, offer it to God and pray for strength of thousands of others who are going through the same situation.

Using our pain to reach out to others spiritually, who may not know how to deal with them.

With these thoughts I was sitting near the doorway of the church, the cool sea breeze that blew through the church made me fall  asleep. :)
