I’d like to believe that I am one who faithfully keeps God’s Commandments. But if I’m being totally honest, I fall horribly short at times. I need to do better.

Commandment #3: “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” I’ve never been one who used God’s Holy Name to condemn anyone nor have I ever used it in conjunction with a profanity. So I thought I was safe on this one. However, many years ago, upon closer examination, I realized I was angrily verbalizing the Name of Jesus Christ when frustrated or upset. I was ashamed of myself and consciously tried to intercept my irreverent proclamation before it occurred. Over time, as the sound “Jeez” began to exit my lips, I’d convert it to “Jeeze Louise”. This has since become my choice of verbiage when I‘m agitated. Problem solved. Or so I thought.

It's recently come to my attention that when I exclaim “Oh my God!” I am again denigrating the Lord’s Name. Even in social media comments, responding with OMG is offensive. So I’ve taken to fully writing the words “Oh my gosh” instead. Part one solved. Now, for part two – my verbal transgression. While I try to find a suitable substitute of surprise or upset, for now, if I exclaim “Oh my God” it’s immediately followed with “I love you!” “Oh my God, I love you!” Not only am I expressing my love for my Lord, but uttering those words seems to immediately transform my mood. If I’m upset, a smile instantly sweeps across my face and joy fills my heart. Pretty creative, I thought. So much so, that now when I hear others utter those same three words, I find myself instantly declaring out loud, “I love you.” In some small way, maybe I can turn someone’s careless expression of disrespect into a firm declaration of reverence. “Oh my God, I love you!” Yes, I like the sound of that.

Posted by Sharyn Sambrick from another page. I found this deeply thought provoking. The key being, of course, KNOWING God, not intellectually but deeply and intimately. (I speak of this in my book, The Great Truth.) I would only say that as for #1, knowing God as I do only makes we want to worship Him more.
Here’s how I see and experience the 10 Commandments now — not as rules, but as the natural result of knowing God, or remembering that we are all One:
1. Once you know God, there is no other — worship becomes unnecessary.
2. Once you know God, no object or idol could ever replace that.
3. Once you feel the sacred within, you speak with reverence.
4. Once you live in presence, every day is holy.
5. Once you recognize the divine in all, you honor your roots.
6. Once you see yourself in others, you cannot harm.
7. Once you love with truth, there is no betrayal.
8. Once you feel whole, there’s nothing to take.
9. Once you live in integrity, lying has no place.
10. Once you know your own fullness, there’s nothing left to covet.
The deeper commandment might just be: Know God — and everything else takes care of itself.
Thank you, Sharyn, for sharing your perspective.

Instead of coffee, begin each day with a KUP of Scripture: KNOW, UNDERSTAND, PRACTICE.
Many people KNOW Scripture and can recite text when necessary. Impressive.
Fewer people accurately UNDERSTAND God’s explicit messages. Self-interpretation is not always accurate and oftentimes is designed to support one’s personal agenda.
Only a handful actually put God’s Word into PRACTICE. It’s not always easy.

It’s good to KNOW; it’s necessary to UNDERSTAND; but it’s vital to PRACTICE.
Without intentional action, there is no fundamental growth as a Christian.
So read and comprehend; then emulate Jesus through changed ways.

Identify an area of your life that does not fully reflect the dictates of our Lord. Locate a passage in the Bible that can help inspire and guide you to change your ways to become more Christ-like. Are you prepared to put God’s Words into action? It may be difficult but for certain it will be rewarding to you and pleasing to our Lord. I will share with you tomorrow my current challenge and how I’m choosing to follow God’s Word and be more like Jesus.

Color only belongs in a paint can. Race only belongs on a track.

I am not white; you are not black. We all belong to the same collection of browns with varying intensities and combinations of pigmentation. No individual shade clashes with the others but rather each of these rich hues compliments the various tones perfectly.

The color mixture to create brown involves blending all 3 of the primary colors: blue + red + yellow = brown. Additional shades of brown can be produced by mixing blue (primary) and orange (red + yellow); red (primary) and green (yellow + blue); or yellow (primary) + purple (red + blue). Each shade in the brown family is comprised of the 3 base colors: red, blue, and yellow in specific amounts.

Beige, the lightest of the brown tones, is made of yellow and brown (see formula for brown) and lightened with white. White is achieved by combining red, green (blue + yellow), and blue at full intensity. There are many variations of white paint: warm whites have yellow, orange, or red undertones, while cool whites have blue, green, or violet undertones. All are formulated using the same 3 primary colors, creating a common thread throughout the entire collection. These is no division of color, only variations of the volume of each primary hue. One and the same yet unique in their own right.

So it is with humans. One race (human); varying blends of the original 3 foundation colors.

Color only belongs in a paint can. Race only belongs on a track. We are all One - cloaked in varying shades of the same colors perfectly complimenting one another.

(According to Benjamin Moore, I am Southern Comfort 2095-60. I’m going to put that on all subsequent forms when asked for my race.)

It’s always heartwarming to receive feedback after an event. Recently, I presented my lecture, “CULTIVATING A LIFE OF GRATITUDE, HAPPINESS, AND INNER PEACE” . The following day, I received this email from one of the residents:

“It was so good to not only see you again but listen to your words of wisdom. I believe God is using you to spread His Word. I hear Him through you. Paul and I started reading your book, The Great Truth, as soon as we could and only stopped when we had to! Can’t wait to finish it and to see you again in Sept!” (This is why I will never retire.)

Many people believe happiness is dependent upon what they’re doing, who they’re with or with what they have. While we can experience transitory pleasure with any of these, they cannot sustain long-term happiness for the moment they are complete or absent our happiness concludes as well. Here are a few lesser-known suggestions to affect a life filled with lasting joy:

~ Live a life of high moral integrity and values. Never allow anyone to deter you from being a person of righteous actions. You will experience greater self-respect and contentment for honoring your authentic self.
~ Avoid self-pity. It is the shortest road to misery. You are not a victim in life. You are a student of your experiences here to learn and grow. This mindset allows for a sense of gratitude and appreciation for all that enters as well as exits your life.
~ Make certain your life has a greater purpose then just serving yourself. One of selfless devotion to improving the lives of others enriches us in ways that sustain lasting joy. By sharing in their happiness ours is amplified many time over.

These are just a few examples I shared that I use in my own life and have proven invaluable for me. I encourage you to consider them if you are seeking to expand the level of contentment in your own life.
If you know of an organization interested in having me present this or any of my other lectures, please contact me. I’d be happy to reach out to them. God bless you.

When you hit rock bottom, remember that a rock is the strongest substance to build on.
Jesus built His Church upon the rock: Simon Peter.
Therefore, be at ease. You are standing on a firm foundation. Rebuild with confidence in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Proverbs3:26 “For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.”
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Last night I attended my grandsons’ basketball playoffs. As I walked towards the bleachers, I passed a tall gentleman wearing a lavender sweatshirt with the following message on the back: “Dear person behind me: the world is a better place with you in it. Lots of love. The person in front of you.” I tapped him on the shoulder. As he turned around, I stated, “I feel the same way about you – what is written on your sweatshirt. The world needs you too!” With that, I reached up and gave him a big hug. He smiled and reciprocated. “Thank you”, he exclaimed. “No, thank you. Someone needs to hear that message.” (Decades ago it would have been me.)

I’m the kind of person that seeks every opportunity to connect with total strangers. I love those brief moments of unexpected surprise where two unfamiliar people share a warm experience that momentarily connects them in the spirit of oneness and delight. No controversy. No expectations. No commitment. Just a moment of pure solidarity.

Wearing a shirt with a message on it is risky: one never knows who may approach them and comment on their shirt. He was willing to take that risk. Approaching someone you are unfamiliar with is risky too. But it has been my experience that 99.99% of the time people are receptive to my boldness for it is always performed in the spirit of genuine love . I’m not sure about others, but the elation I experience after such an encounter resides within me long after the moment has concluded. I pray it has the same effect on the receiving party as well.

Are you willing to take a risk and confront a complete stranger? One kind word, one compliment, one message of hope or a simple acknowledgement of their existence can impact their life in a positive way. Make that connection whenever possible. Be a purveyor of good will. Collectively, small acts can have a huge impact on our world. And Lord knows we need it. And remember, strangers are only friends we have yet to meet.

GOD’S PEACE DEFEATS GRIEF

In the past decade, at least a dozen of my friends have experienced the death of an adult child: tragic accidents, drug overdose, sickness, even murder. In two of these cases, the parent lost more than one child, each on separate occasions. Loss, regardless of how it presents itself, is life’s greatest fear. And for parents, the loss of a child of any age is their worst nightmare.

Most recently, my close friend, John, lost his adult son after a 17-year battle with cancer. Not surprisingly, he’s devastated. John is a man of deep faith yet is profoundly grieving the loss. We’ve spent many hours on the phone as my friend pours out his heart. While many people will pray for a miracle that their loved one experiences a complete healing rather than death, John conveyed how he had already received his miracle. You see, after the initial diagnosis, his son was given only 2 years to live. John prayed to God that his son be given the strength to persevere and God graciously granted his petition. He and his son were given the gift of an additional 15 years together.

While John is deeply grateful for God’s mercy, he’s still suffering. Oftentimes, people feel as though they cannot live without their loved one and the only way to alleviate their suffering is reunification, which we know is unattainable in this life. I can recall the excruciating pain I endured during a 10-year estrangement from my adult children. The pain was debilitating. I fervently prayed to God daily to end my suffering in the only way I knew to be feasible. I prayed for years until He ultimately blessed me with something unexpected and infinitely more beneficial. I shared my memories with John and the surprising lesson that transformed my life.

“You don’t need your son to be free of your grief,” I stated. “All you need is God’s mercy and peace. Ask Him to heal your hurt, to fill the void you are experiencing with HIS love, and to infuse you with HIS lasting comfort. His peace is truly all you need.” Once I experienced the everlasting fullness of God’s loving presence, a stillness filled my soul and I felt complete. I realized that, in reality, nothing was missing from my life. All that I ever wanted, all that I ever needed was now and forever found in the everlasting perfect love of my Lord and Savior.

We think we need certain people or things in our lives in order to feel happy and comfortable. Yet it is through our loss (of an individual, possession, or lifestyle) and in our faith in God (that He sustains us with the serenity that only comes from trusting in Him) that we realize our joy, security, and contentment are not dependent on anything external of us. Our peacefulness is depended only on the depth and strength of our relationship with God. It took 3 grueling years of intense prayer for me to realize that I need nothing and no one except my Lord. Even without the presence of those I love most, my life has been incredibly rich, meaningful, and joy-filled. There is no void. There is no anguish. There is only an undeniable peace that consistently resides within me regardless of my circumstances.
If you’re suffering a loss, I invite you to rethink what you think you need in life: it’s not people, opportunities, or stuff. All you really need is God’s loving peace. Nothing matters more than this.

GOD’S PEACE DEFEATS GRIEF

Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all who are weary and heavy ladened, and I will give you rest."
2 Corinthians 12:9. "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness'".
John 14:27"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you. Not as the world gives do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

It’s a common belief that the very foundation of a healthy relationship is trust. After all, if you cannot rely on your partner to keep their word then the basis upon which you build your relationship is one of suspicion, unrest, tension, and conflict. As important as trust is, it is not the most critical component to ensure a strong and lasting union.

While trust is crucial, a more vital consideration is safety. Creating an environment in which each person feels protected, valued, and free to be authentically themselves without fear of condemnation, criticism, or rejection is compulsory to fostering trust. Only when one feels safe with their partner can they relax and more fully realize their own potential, thereby contributing more wonderfully of themselves to the relationship.

When my husband and I married nearly 29 years ago, my primary concern was to create a safe environment for him; one where he never had to worry about being criticized, hurt, rejected, judged, ridiculed, or belittled by me. My intention was for him to know emphatically that he was and always would be safe in my presence. I can confidently say that I have done just that. It’s not difficult to accomplish. Even though at times I may be angry or disappointed with him, I always speak to and treat him with dignity and respect. Always. He deserves nothing less. And he does the same for me. I know there are times he’s not happy with me (hard to imagine, I know – LOL) and probably doesn’t even like me very much (even harder to imagine, right??). Yet he is always a gentleman. Every time. Every circumstance. I am fully comfortable being myself when I am with him, an experience I’ve never had with anyone before.

Consider creating a safe place for your partner as your core priority. From there everything else will flow seamlessly.
Ephesians 4:29 “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.”

“BE NOT AFRAID: Trusting God In Times of Loss and Uncertainty To Restore Purpose and Inner Peace To Our Lives”

I was recently approached by St Andrew’s Church in Westwood NJ to speak to their parishioners on the subject of loss. I inquired why they hadn’t sought the expertise of a licensed grief counselor but they stated they are very familiar with my work and felt I would present a profoundly unique approach to the subject matter. My methodology to every topic I speak on is one of a spiritual perspective coupled with practical strategies for change. One’s relationship with God while possessing a deeper understanding of Scripture are critical in confidently and faithfully making right decisions all aspects of life, thereby enabling us to more fully live the life God intended.

I am making this lecture/retreat available to all parishes throughout the area. If your church or grief support group is interested in having me present this, please message me. I’d be happy to reach out to any interested party.

“BE NOT AFRAID: Trusting God In Times of Loss and Uncertainty To Restore Purpose and Inner Peace To Our Lives”
Loss is painful. Change is frightening. Yet both are inevitable in life. But are their hidden benefits in each? Can loss be an unexpected blessing? Can change foster remarkable possibilities?
Relying on sacred Scripture and our relationship with God, we can move boldly and confidently through the unexpected into the abundant blessings God has planned for us. You can defeat suffering and fear and experience a glorious new life of unlimited joy and inner peace, compliments of your Creator.

(Tentative date at St. Anderw’s is a Saturday in Oct. I will keep you posted.)

In Dec. I shared an encounter I had with a gas station attendant. It was bitter cold when I pulled in to fill my tank. The attendant had newly immigrated from the Middle East & was unprepared for single digit temps.“I’m freezing! I work 12 hrs a day 7 days a week,” he said. This troubled my soul. I need to buy him some warm clothing. On my way to Walmart, I stopped home & asked hubby if he had an extra winter jacket he could donate. He did. We also gathered warm shirts, socks, gloves, & a knit hat. I had Christmas cookies which I included with the clothing. I delivered them to the man who graciously accepted them.

Have you ever wondered what happens to donations you make or the kindnesses you bestow on others? Do they reach their intended recipients? Are they used properly and appreciated? Or are they rerouted to an undesired destination, are unappreciated, unused, or misused or discarded? I used to pray that my bequest was used for its designated intention. Yet we can’t always know. So I learned to let go and leave it in God’s hands. If He directs me to perform an act of generosity then I will. I have been faithful to Him and He is pleased. That’s all He ever asks of me. Beyond that, it’s none of my concern.

So I let this incident be whatever it was meant to be. It was not imperative that I know the outcome. I trusted God. Then last week I stopped for gas at the same pump as my December encounter. As the attendant approached my car, I recognized the very familiar camouflage jacket that previously garnered space in my husband’s closet. A smile swept across my face and my heart filled with gratitude.

An initial gesture, received by another, reappears to bless me again: the blessing that keeps on giving.

We are encouraged to give charitably, not for praise or recognition, but as a heartfelt act of love and obedience to God. So give without concern for how it will be received or used. Give freely and generously from the heart. Then leave the rest to God.

Proverbs 11:25 “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”

And oh how I was refreshed!
