5/31/10 Honor does not have to be defended. Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, but not absence of fear. Today, honor those brave enough to put their lives on the line for you. In war, there is no prize for the runner-up. It may not seem like it, but the purpose of war is ultimately peace.
5/30/10 My soul is the bridge between spirit and body. As I get older, I realize that what I’ve been searching for my entire life is already inside me. That sense of purpose sometimes gets lost when chasing the “objects” in an empty world. Growing older releases soul and everything is a new experience. I now imagine myself as a musical instrument through which God plays! God is playing your song. Why not dance with life?
5/29/10 The good news is that the bad news can be turned into good news when you change your attitude. Change you wish to see in yourself and the world around you is a matter of acknowledging that change begets change. Asking questions and questioning choices can channel behaviors away from the well-worn circular path to the Divine Inner life of your own truth. Ask and you shall find all you need!
5/28/10 There is only one sacred manuscript, the sacred manuscript of nature. Any time you wish to read the words of God, look around you into the theater of the sacred. It enlightens the viewer. The feeling is universal. Have you ever been soothed by a sunset, awed by waves of the ocean, or inspired by the majesty of it all?
5/27/10 As we advance in life, it becomes more and more difficult. When we surrender to those difficulties, the innermost strength of our soul is developed. Be yourself. There is something that you can do better than any other. Listen to your inner voice and bravely obey that voice!
5/26/10 We are the only true experts on our journey to spiritual wholeness. Some people are good at following maps, while others are always looking for new ways to get where they’re going. The only reliable compass is within. You may feel the need to change direction, and these are moments of attuning our inner compass and following a map that only we can see.
Spring has bursts of warm summer breezes with shorts, dresses and flip flops; what teases!5/25/2010
5/25/10 Hope is an angelic attitude. It helps us see silver linings hidden within dark clouds and gives us the courage to rise above disappointments. Grace comes in the dark as a glimmer and lives with a steady gleaming glow. It meets us where we are, but does not leave us where it found us.
Every day is a great day when you are thankful for life. You never know what tomorrow may bring.5/24/2010
5/24/10 If we make our goal to live a life of unconditional love, then the world will become a place where tranquil pleasures become a reality. If you love with your Spirit, you don’t have to think so hard with your head. In the final analysis, we are all seeking an experience of being alive…fully alive and truly loving life!
5/23/10 God is love. We need to make love our top priority, because love is eternal. When we get older, we surround ourselves with people~people we love and have personal relationships with. In our final moments, we will realize that relationships are what life is all about. Wisdom is learning that truth sooner rather than later.
5/22/10 You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving. Now is the best time to express love, because you don’t know how long you will have the opportunity. Circumstances change. People die, and children grow up. There is no guarantee of tomorrow. Love is spelled T-I-M-E! Give love today.

Author - Linda BeckwithI believe everyday is a gift from our Creator. As we age, some may fear the unknown~death. People who become aware of their mortality find they have actually gained freedom to live. They have found they have an appreciation for the present. We are all here to contribute love, forgiveness, and service. As I age, I want to nourish my soul's purpose. If we are open to grace, people will appear in our lives to encourage growth of our souls. Allow me to provide daily nourishment through loving words, because joy is our birthright. I call these my daily "Truth Vitamins" for spiritual health. Join me in discovering together our inner soul purpose with "Love~that's all there is". Archives
