God Is Everywhere

There's not a tint that paints the rose
Or decks the lily fair,
Or marks the humblest flower that grows,
But God has placed it there...
There's not a place on earth's vast round,
In oceans deep or air,
Where love and beauty are not found,
For God is everywhere.

- James C Wallace

Q506

Are different Names of God different in status too ?



Let Me tell you that no particular Names can be raised to a status higher than the rest, for all Names are His and He answers to all.

Power Of Thought

The power of thought is immense.  Thoughts survive unchanged the death of man.  Therefore, everyone should foster noble thoughts.

VEDA 43

The hand that creates is the hand that gives. There is no keeping back. It is always for you and you alone. That is My truth, know it and be happy.

Hugs

There's something in a simple hug

That always warms the heart;

It welcomes us back home

And makes it easier to part

A hug's a way to share the joy

And sad times we go through,

Or just a way for friends to say

They like you 'cause you're you

Hugs are meant for anyone

For whom we really care,

From your grandma to your neighbor,

Or a cuddly teddy bear

A hug is an amazing thing -

It's just the perfect way

To show the love we're feeling

But can't find the words to say

It's funny how a little hug

Makes everyone feel good;

In every place and type,

It's always understood

And hugs don't need new equipment,

Special batteries or parts

Just open up your arms

And open up your hearts

One must be eager to serve others, not eager to be served by them.

Prayer For Loved Ones

The love between husband and wife, between parents and children, is just the least little bit of God, as pushed forth through visible form into manifestation.

- H Emilie Cady

As I think about my family and friends, I feel so very grateful for them.  They have given me love and acceptance, and I want to bless them in return.  So I take this opportunity to give thanks for them and to remember them in my prayers.

"God, from the depths of Your love in my heart, I give thanks for my loved ones.  They are Your unique creations, and I thank You for the privilege of loving them and being loved by them.  Wherever they go this day, my loving thoughts go with them.

"God, Your spirit glows within my loved ones and lights their way.  They are Your beloved, and I give thanks that they live in the shelter of Your presence."

The spirit of God glows brightly within my loved ones, lighting their way.

(From : 'Daily Word' magazine by Silent Unity, a world wide prayer ministry)
