Light Work

 According to Doreen Virtue, Lightworkers are "those who volunteered, before birth, to help the planet and its population heal from the effects of fear." Doreen is best known for her books on angels and their role in our lives. I found her thoughts on Lightworkers interesting.

I was brought to thinking of her writings when I woke this morning thinking that now the Light will return. This was my waking thought, but I think it had more to do with the work we humans have to do now, than the length of sunlight per day. So, I looked up Light Work, which brought me to Doreen's website.

When the Dark is most obvious, it is easy to feel that there is no Light. However, there is always Light. Right now, in the world, there is a heavy, overpowering sense of Darkness. Many people feel full of despair. Hope appears to be waning, but the truth is that there are even more people sharing the Light at this moment in time than ever before. We are simply not seeing it because those who live in Darkness get more attention than those working to bring Light.

I believe that we, each of us, MUST promote Light and Lightworkers. We must do all we can to foster a sense of Hope in this world.  How?  By sharing on social media the good things people are doing in this world and by refraining from sharing the negative news.  

This doesn't mean that we put our heads in the sand and ignore what is going on in the world.  Rather, we recognize the problems, but instead of share the horror and atrocities, we share the work of those who are helping others.  In this way, we all become Lightworkers!

May we all hold our Light high.  May we be the beacon of Hope for those who feel there is none.  May we share the Healing Light of Love with all we meet.  

Nameste!

Bible Sisters

As a child, Bible stories fascinated me. I tried to imagine what it was like to live in times so long ago. Rarely, however, did I ever see any connection to what happened in ancient times with what was happening in my life. After all, my world was close to 2000 years older and far from the lands of Pharaohs and Roman invaders.  As I grew, I learned to see the lessons within Scripture. But, again, I found it difficult to connect to these men who battled giants or spoke eloquent words in the Temple. The only women I remember mentioned were few and far between. How I wished there was more for a woman to connect with in the Bible. A few weeks ago, I had the great pleasure of receiving a copy of Bible Sisters by Rev. Gennifer Benjamin Brooks in the mail. Bible Sisters is a 365-day devotional that includes the well-known women of the Bible (Eve, Sarah, Ruth, Rebecca, Mary, Martha...) as well as those we know little about and who often go unnamed like Hagar or the Widow of Zar...

Whispers

Photo Credit: (c) 2018 Linda M. Rhinehart Neas When I was, as my mother would say, a wee sprout, I had my first experience with hearing that soft whisper that has warned me, inspired me, and on occasion, nagged me. Perhaps because I was raised in a household where being "fey" was looked at as normal, I never questioned that this was not real.  I can't tell you what the first thing I "heard" was, but I do remember talking to my mother about it when I was about six years old. We had had a lesson in school where sister had told the class about a saint who heard "the whispers of the angels." I asked Momma if that was who was speaking to me.  I still remember her looking very seriously into my eyes and saying, "Lindy, it might be angels, it might be what artists call the muse, or it might be what some people call, 'the voice of your ancestors or guides.' I don't know, but I do know you need to listen and pay attention to what you he...

Ministering Without a Church

-

Over the past few days, several people have asked me where my church is.  Honestly, I stumble over answering this question.  My "church" is the world. But, when I say that, people take a step back and look at me with shock or suspicion.  When I answer that I don't have one, they apologize and begin listing all the churches they know looking for ministers. In reality, I am not a minister to one denomination or faith path, which means I do not have a pulpit from which I preach every Sunday.  I am an ordained interfaith/interspiritual minister.  Ministry within this context is far-reaching. Ministry literally means serving others. This may be accomplished through a community of like-minded individuals within the confines of a building, but "the church" is not a building.  The Church is the people that gather together. Therefore, my "church" is wherever people gather and are in need.  This may mean the mother who is exhausted from chasing toddlers...
