I keep reading that only pennies of your donated dollar to some charities goes to the cause. With my Husband and I both on limited incomes, we only donate to local food banks, also donate clothing and other things to the poor. So at least we are doing something.

Yes, that it true so we all should see how transparent these charities are.

Very good to know Hun! Thank you for the link!

For AB and Wis and whoever else is needing some special attention, love and light.





Thinking of you and wishing you brighter days ahead.

Thank You Phage. Knowing you are not one to express overt emotions it is rather touching to receive a response.

Thank You again all of you.

Knowing you are there is a comfort.
We look beyond the horizon for change and consolation, thinking the next harbor will be our salvation and forget the faithful ship that is holding us as a cradle. Thank You.

That was beautiful!

I thought it was nice to see Phage in here too.

Monday wouldn't be Monday without a cuddle...
So, how's about a wee (almost) "seasonal" one?



Happy Monday, and a sneaky wee seasonal cuddle for anyone who'd like it!

Aww that is my signature picture for BugWhisperer, perhaps we should send her some love and bundles of hugs.
Hey Bug. Here we come.

From the Masqua Tribute in the Short Story Writing Forum, I wanted to share Night's beautiful poem! Very powerful - I was inspired by it!

Blessings on all who enter here... Thank you for bringing your light, your heart, your thoughts, and challenges.

Monday again?
Nope, I don't want to get up.... too busy cuddling.



Happy Monday!

Thank You All for....

....your precious effort to aide me.
I know every single prayer or thought of compassion, how ever brief, is like a tidal wave.
You have helped me immensely and on the physical realm, I have been requested to return to a position I quit. They begged me to come back.
It is not perfect. There is some where else I want to be, but for now....
I am so grateful for all of you.
Know you in this wonderful thread AB created, make a difference.
Words are so insufficient.

AB, thank you for the kind words and bringing more attention to the thread about Masqua! I loved what you wrote very much!
I think the thread needs more attention and participation to honor this much loved soul.

Wis, I was so very relieved and happy to hear of your good news Hun!

I could use some prayers and positive vibes myself and for my Husband and our health problems right now. Thank you in advance and much love and light to you all!

This week.... I thought that I'd send out a "REAL" hug instead of a generic one.
So, here are my two boys... having a wee brotherly hug before School this morning, sending you a smile, a hug and a big thumbs up!


HAPPY MONDAY!

Consider it done!



I've been a bit MIA here, I know. Very busy and just needing to put my energy into my family and "RL."

Will send you healing for you and your Husband.

Oh what fine sons you have!



They look to be strapping young lads - you must be so proud of them both.

You are in Scotland, and I have to tell you, I'm researching my ancestry, and I've got a boatload of Scotland in ME too! That and English, with a wee bit of Irish to boot. I'm 84% "Great Britain" stock, which is apparently far above average for being a "native."

Ha! I could swim back across the pond and fit right in, genetically speaking... I don't know the actual ancestor that came over here, but it was in the 1700s at least. Those records are few and far between.

Hiya Cuz!

It is good in theory, and done with a good heart. But you are wasting "energy" (light). You're advocating,.. "giving pearls to swine"?. Do not waist your fortune (energy) on this/them. Even Jesus said, "wipe their dust from your shoe".

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

Little troopers! May God bless them!

Thank you all. Every thought and prayer is cherished.

I think of "you" when I need courage, I know you are there, here, some how.
I contribute "your" meditation/prayers to my success.
Your compassion and even the smallest thought of encouragement is not wasted.
Thank You AB The subtle ripple of this thread is akin to the water flowing onto rocks over millennia.

Ah, but first I would have to judge people as a "them" and as "swine." That I am not willing to do...

So there is no wasted light - it is infinite, not finite. If it "sticks" to some people and they benefit, then all to the good, if they shield themselves in darkness so the light does not touch them, then I can do no more -- at that point, they have chosen, and I can simply let them and shrug.

But never, never is there wasted light or energy when it comes from an infinite Source and goes back to that same Source in an infinite loop.

I am very small.

I don't have much to give the material world in the form of charity and the like, and my crazy life keeps me "giving" at home, which is a gift to do and very valuable, but isolated. So I want to do more, and in my small way, to give something more. So I attempt to ripple out the Light, and with it love and hope and what peace can be found. If anything I do has a positive effect somewhere, well then, I'm thrilled!

If nothing else, it does me good, and helps to recharge my "better angels" and my sense of connection to something Infinite. If it helps anyone else, then I am simply grateful. If not, then I have learned to access the light for myself.

I do hope you will partake.

Can I share some light on the subject of light? Light (figuratively), truths/facts/realities/certainties and love are concepts that go very well together. As does the concept of "knowledge" which means "a familiarity with facts/truths/certainties/realities" (where you see a / I'm using synonyms). Understanding, insight, wisdom and discernment as well. All connected to the concept of light when it's used in a figurative sense.

LIGHT

The Hebrew term ʼohr and the Greek term phos refer to that which emanates from a light-giving body such as a lamp (Jer 25:10) or the sun, as well as to the opposite of darkness, literally and figuratively. (Isa 5:20; Joh 11:10, 11) It is generally believed that light consists of energy particles that have wave properties. To this day, however, man still cannot give a complete answer to the question propounded over three millenniums ago by the Creator of light: “Where, now, is the way by which the light distributes itself?”—Job 38:24.

Light from the sun is a combination of colors, with each color having a different wavelength. The color of an object is determined by the particular portion of the light reflected by its surface. Thus light furnishes the many hues that delight the eye of man. It is also essential for earthly life—plant, animal, and human—to continue.

The Source of Light. Jehovah God is the Former of light and the Creator of darkness. (Isa 45:7) It was on the first creative day that he said: “Let light come to be.” (Ge 1:3) Earlier he had created the heavens (including “the great lights”—the sun, moon, and stars; compare Ps 136:7-9) and the earth. (Ge 1:1) So the bringing of light into existence with reference to the earth apparently involved gradually removing whatever had formerly obstructed the sun’s rays from reaching this planet. And the “division” between light and darkness must have come about through the rotation of the earth as it moved around the sun. (Ge 1:4, 5) Much later Jehovah plagued the sun-worshiping Egyptians with darkness, a darkness that did not affect the Israelites. (Ex 10:21-23) In leading his people out of Egypt, he provided light by means of a pillar of fire.—Ex 13:21; 14:19, 20; Ps 78:14.

The Scriptures repeatedly associate light with its Creator. Stated the psalmist: “O Jehovah my God, you have proved very great. With dignity and splendor you have clothed yourself, enwrapping yourself with light as with a garment.” (Ps 104:1, 2) This declaration harmonizes well with Ezekiel’s description of what he saw in vision: “I got to see something like the glow of electrum, like the appearance of fire all around inside thereof, from the appearance of his hips and upward; and from the appearance of his hips and downward I saw something like the appearance of fire, and he had a brightness all around. There was something like the appearance of the bow that occurs in a cloud mass on the day of a pouring rain. That is how the appearance was of the brightness round about. It was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah.” (Eze 1:27, 28) Centuries earlier, just a partial manifestation of that glory caused Moses’ face to emit rays.—Ex 33:22, 23; 34:29, 30.

“God is light and there is no darkness at all in union with him.” (1Jo 1:5) He is righteous, upright, and holy (De 32:4; Re 4:8), having nothing in common with the degrading and unclean practices commonly linked with darkness. (Compare Job 24:14-16; 2Co 6:14; 1Th 5:7, 8.) Therefore persons who are walking in the darkness by manifesting hatred for their brother and who are not practicing the truth could never be in union with him.—1Jo 1:6; 2:9-11.

Jehovah is “the Father of the celestial lights.” (Jas 1:17) Not only is he the “Giver of the sun for light by day, the statutes of the moon and the stars for light by night” (Jer 31:35) but he is also the Source of all spiritual enlightenment. (2Co 4:6) His law, judicial decisions, and word are a light to those allowing themselves to be guided by them. (Ps 43:3; 119:105; Pr 6:23; Isa 51:4) The psalmist declared: “By light from you we can see light.” (Ps 36:9; compare Ps 27:1; 43:3.) Just as the light of the sun continues to get brighter from dawn until “the day is firmly established,” so the path of the righteous ones, illuminated by godly wisdom, gets lighter and lighter. (Pr 4:18) To follow the course that Jehovah outlines is to walk in his light. (Isa 2:3-5) On the other hand, when a person looks at things in an impure way or with evil design, he is in great spiritual darkness. As Jesus put it: “If your eye is wicked, your whole body will be dark. If in reality the light that is in you is darkness, how great that darkness is!”—Mt 6:23; compare De 15:9; 28:54-57; Pr 28:22; 2Pe 2:14.

Light and the Son of God. Since his resurrection and ascension to heaven, Christ Jesus, “the King of those who rule as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords,” “dwells in unapproachable light.” That light is so glorious that it makes it impossible for weak human eyes to behold him. (1Ti 6:15, 16) In fact, one man, Saul (Paul) of Tarsus was blinded by the light from heaven seen by him at the time the glorified Son of God revealed himself to this persecutor of Jesus’ followers.—Ac 9:3-8; 22:6-11.

During his earthly ministry Jesus Christ was a light, furnishing spiritual enlightenment concerning God’s purposes and will for those who would gain divine favor. (Joh 9:5; compare Isa 42:6, 7; 61:1, 2; Lu 4:18-21.) Initially, only “the lost sheep of the house of Israel” received benefit from that “great light.” (Isa 9:1, 2; Mt 4:13-16; 15:24) But spiritual enlightenment was not to be limited just to the natural Jews and proselytes. (Joh 1:4-9; compare Ac 13:46, 47.) When the infant Jesus was presented at the temple, aged Simeon referred to him as “a light for removing the veil from the nations.” (Lu 2:32) As Paul explained to the Ephesians, uncircumcised non-Jews had been in the dark respecting God and his purposes: “Formerly you were people of the nations as to flesh; ‘uncircumcision’ you were called by that which is called ‘circumcision’ made in the flesh with hands—that you were at that particular time without Christ, alienated from the state of Israel and strangers to the covenants of the promise, and you had no hope and were without God in the world.” (Eph 2:11, 12) However, when the good news about the Christ was brought to the non-Jews, those who responded favorably were ‘called out of darkness into God’s wonderful light.’ (1Pe 2:9) But others continued to allow the one who transforms himself into “an angel of light” or enlightenment (2Co 11:14), “the god of this system of things,” to blind them so ‘that the illumination of the good news about the Christ might not shine through.’ (2Co 4:4) They preferred darkness, for they wanted to continue in their selfish course.—Compare Joh 3:19, 20.

I hope the song below could touch people's hearts as much as it is does mine one day. It helps if you have solid reasons to conclude and know for certain/sure that what is mentioned is true/factual. Which requires a bit of effort in searching out the relevant facts to come to that rational conclusion as well as resisting the influences of this system of things (a.k.a. "the Matrix" on ATS).Isaac Newton's science/scientia/knowledge about light and reality
