Christmas and the time of need.




There are many people that face hardship at this time of the year. Sometimes we do not know how to help them, sometimes we just want to walk from the sorrow and resentment that lies dormant ready to explode. There are times in the year that do not make sense for the more vulnerable and for the solitude in life. When the will to move on takes courage that is when we lie in wait for the resurrection of the new life? Being complete is letting go of all the resentment and bitterness that prayer can accomplish. You may not be spiritual, you may not have your own faith; but believing in miracles brings a sense of relinquishment and pride in oneself.

I have many experiences in my own life where I have shed a tear for someone that I have loved. Someone that cannot hold their own responsibility. It makes sense to the person that has the mental illness, but it comes in waves and you have to accept the logic in their own mind. Be brave, be strong and let the waves come and go without having the bitter resentment lying inside you.  Christmas brings a lot of sense and non-sensible experiences to the table. What happens when someone has just lost a loved one? What if the person next to you has just wanted to end their own life? How can a word or a sentence uphold the truth of what they want to hear? How can the magic of Christmas save them?

When the life and realisation of being there for them brings a saintly dew, it brings courage and forthright conviction to unleash the warrior inside you. Don’t hold back; send help, send love, send the bittersweet love and magic to the person that is struggling. I have found a way of coping and that is through letting the love evaporate into time and space. Hold the love inside and never let go. The thoughts and patterns are limitless for what you want to achieve. I want hope, I want salvation to appear but allowing the ground hog day is no longer an option. Treatments are there, treatments are part and parcel for recovery. There are facts that need to be cornered and allowed to be grappled with.

This is the time to accomplish those things with the help, support and the longevity of the new friendships that will be had. The reliance on the family and friends is no longer a poignant part of the daily barrage of criticism and hurt. Help is on its way and maybe down the track the love will shine inwards again. Close the door on the past and allow the new person to appear again when the time is ready and complete. New roads lead to new discoveries. Harmony is present in every situation. Look sideways, look behind, look midway through the sentence and you will find the hidden wonders to enjoy and with the smell of success.

Years mark the day

YEARS MARK THE DAY By Jacqui Ray We were celebrating another milestone with our marriage, another year passed with unrelinquished misery as my husband would say. I know he was joking but deep down were we still compatible? Most years we would forget our wedding anniversary or anything else that resembled a major point in our lives. People make out dates to be so important, I am not sure if this was a sticking point in our relationship. Did it really matter if we did not celebrate our wedding anniversary? Did it really matter if we did not wear our wedding rings? People get so caught up in the expectations of what others think. It is not what he does for me but how he does it. My husband may not jump for joy on certain days when I am wanting him too but that is how he is. Don’t change a person just because you want them changed, there has to be a need for change and direction to wonder how these factors affect a relationship. We bot...

Forgiving and forgetting.

Many times in your life there are people that hold a very special place in your heart. Cutting cords is something I have never thought about until I started my spiritual journey. Do you have a friend you have known all your life? Do you keep the friendship going because you have known them forever? You might grow apart and distance yourself, but that nagging feeling keeps you in that friendship circle.   Cutting cords is hard with blood relatives and friendships, but are they serving you? Is it time to relinquish the guilt and subservience of their friendship and know that the time has come to think about yourself first? Do you need them in your life? Start with that, think about what happiness they bring to you. Think about if they are there for you when you need someone to call on or are they just a fair-weather friend? Spiritualism has no bounds with the way we are when someone is hurting you. You may just be a shoulder for somebody to use and abuse yo...

Worldly possibilities

How many people wonder what life has in store for them? Are there certain destinies to behold or how do I put it, explanations in life that cannot be told? For I am one of those people that judged and belittled what was not my belief. Somehow that made sense to me and spiritual reclusiveness was part of the package for me. My life consisted of having a wonderful upbringing, living in the suburbs of Melbourne with my family and enjoying the simple things in life. I was not a religious person nor was my family. Pretty much Atheism was what we all believed in. I did attend an Anglican school for my education but was not aware of how religion would play a part in the school curriculum. During Religious Education, I remember being perplexed and bored. I would not listen and hardly remember anything that my teacher taught me.      If I had been brought up in a different family with religious beliefs, then maybe there would be a different outcome.
