  Enthusiastic God The Conversation  Elements From The Conversation  George gets his birthday card and itinerary in one, in bed. Music One does not really expect it from him, but just something playful and light from Andrea Bocelli. May the strength of the wind  and the light of the sun, The softness of the rain  and the mystery of the moon  Reach you and fill you. May beauty delight you  and happiness uplift you,  May wonder fulfill you  and love surround you. May your step be steady  and your arm be strong. May your heart be peaceful  and your word be true. May you seek to learn,  may you learn to live,  May you live to love,  and may you love ~ always.       Celtic Blessing                                                         With our love. George & Matild...

  Entoesiastiese God Die Gesprek  Elemente Uit Die Gesprek  George kry sy verjaarsdagkaartjie en reisplan in een, in die bed. Musiek Mens verwag dit nie eintlik van hom nie, maar sommer net iets speels en lig van Andrea Bocelli. Mag die krag van die wind en  die lig van die son, Die sagtheid van die reën en  die misterie van die maan Jou bereik en jou vul.  Mag skoonheid jou bly maak en geluk jou ophef,  Mag wonder jou vervul en  liefde jou omring. Mag jou treë bestendig wees en  jou arm sterk. Mag jou hart rustig wees en  jou woord waar. Mag jy soek om te leer,  mag jy leer om te lewe,  Mag jy lewe om lief te hê, en  mag jy liefhê ~ altyd. Keltiese seën                                      Met ons liefde. George & Matilda

  Monkey Mind The Conversation  Elements From The Conversation  The role of a spiritual director, therapist or good friend. What helps with the recurring thoughts is the return to the stable centre, the safe base camp where God is always waiting. On arrival we find that He has already lit the fire. Two examples of  affirmations. Music “.... let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind.” ‭‭.                                                  Rom12‬:‭2‬ ‭GNT‬‬ With love. George & Matilda

  Dronkdink Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek Die rol van 'n geestelike begeleier, terapeut of goeie vriendin/vriend. Wat help met die malende gedagtes is die terugkeer na die onveranderlike kern, die veilige basiskamp waar God altyd wag. Wanneer ons daar kom, ontdek ons dat Hy die vuur reeds aangesteek het. Twee voorbeelde van bevestigings of  "affirmations". Musiek “.... laat God julle verander deur julle denke te vernuwe.”                                                         ‭‭Rom‭12‬:‭2‬  Met liefde. George & Matilda

  A Julian of Norwich Quote The Conversation  Elements From The Conversation  When you read Julian's quote, do that more from a listening stance than from an effort to understand.

A basic scheme for Lectio Divina: Music  With our love and spacious wishes for you.  George & Matilda

  'n Julian of Norwich Aanhaling Die Gesprek  Elemente Uit Die Gesprek Wanneer jy Julian se aanhaling lees, doen dit meer met 'n houding van luister as een van verstaan.

'n Baie basiese skema vir Lectio Divina Musiek  Met ons liefde en ruim wense vir jou. George & Matilda
