NOVEMBER 2009
Hello Readers.,,
Welcome to my page again., I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do in preparing it. We are once more on count down ! yes Xmas is a few short weeks away and I am busy preparing for it, By the time you read this I will have spent a week in Norfolk Island, this is a very pretty little island and yet it does have a lot of History attached to it.,. The island is 1,500 kilometers' east of the Australian Mainland and is positioned north of New Zealand, for a time it was a penal settlement, and is now very popular among tourists.. I am going with a tour group and two friends so hope to enjoy a happy week.. (late note.,) this is a wonderful place to visit ! The lovely Pine trees are a big part of the beauty of the Island., the people are friendly and we had a really great time.,
My Grandson’s wedding proved a wonderful family affair and how happy it was., we all looked very grand in our best clothes and after much rain falling prior to it we managed to have a mostly sunny day, the service itself was outdoors and we were so happy when no rain fell., !
THOUGHTS
When your mind is full of thoughts
And you struggle to find any peace
Hand your troubles over to God
And your mind will find it’s release
God will listen to all of your prayers
And forever remain by your side
Through the thoughts of your mind
He will become your faithful guide.
God will help you to see clearly
Which thoughts cloud your view
As your thoughts become untangled
Many thoughts will become few
Those thoughts which trouble you
Will soon ease your mind
When you place your trust in God
Greater peace you’ll come to find.
(Pamela Hall)
It does not matter if you pray to God or you prefer to pray to Divine Spirit, the faith and love that you pray with will take that prayer to the source and help you., You are never alone in your problems and fears , and peace will come when you need it.
That prayer will find a way and guidance and love will be sent to you., trust and always know that your faith will see you with the strength to overcome all things.
QUESTION TO SPIRIT
In class one night a question was put forward to our Spirit teacher and I thought it might be of interest to you..,
Question =- “When a person passes over and they can come back and communicate, when they go off to the Halls of Learning or do other things that they do, if we think of them and talk to them, even when they are doing these other things, do they still receive our communication?”
Answer – They do yes, but they may not always respond, because they are busy doing whatever they are doing at the time. Now, we find this, and you too will find it when you are to the stage of doing readings, you will find that people come for a reading and they want to talk to Grandma, Auntie Gertie and God knows who else in their little way, because they think they are just going to send out that thought and they are going to immediately respond. They never take into consideration that the people may still be receiving healing, because as you well know if they have a very long illness and they have a lot of agony, a lot of pain and suffering, it takes their spirit a long time to recover from that. It may sound silly to you, but it is that which becomes impaired also to a degree, and so therefore people come looking for these people and they may still be receiving healing. They may have shut themselves away in their favourite room, in their thought from room, and they won’t want to come out even. So you see, all of these things must be taken into account. But yes they would still receive the communication>- because my friends it is sent with love and that carries these messages through to them.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
We say Happy Birthday to all those having a birthday this month., it’s a special day and we love to share it.,
This month we have.
Wendy Parker on the 3rd.

Your flower is the Chrysanthemum while your birthstone is the Topaz.
WORDS FROM MARCUS
There are many among you that still have no knowledge of the spirit world, many who live solely in the material world caring little for the spiritual values and not always taking the responsibility for their actions.
This can clearly be seen in the headlines of your daily papers or on your TV screens as you see or read of violence and irresponsible behavior
They too will one day experience something that will challenge their thinking and way of life and they will begin to ask questions, begin to understand the journey of the spirit. They too shall become aware of a greater energy that does indeed exist and their life will never be the same again.
They will look to others to learn from and perhaps you yourself may be ready to offer a little of your knowledge of the spirit world. Gradually as more become aware of the need to look after our spiritual side the trend towards greater harmony will spread. The work you do is important and you are setting a good example of the truth that you have already learnt.

HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN.
It was a busy morning, about 8.30 when an elderly gentleman in his 80s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.
He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9.a.m. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him. I saw him , looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.
On examination, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his suture and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.
The gentleman told me NO, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health.
He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's disease, as we talked I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late., he replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised, and asked him ,”And you still go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?”
He smiled as he patted my hand and said
“She doesn’t know me but I still know who she is”
I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought
“That is the kind of love I want in my life”
True love is neither physical, nor romantic, true love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be and will not be.
How wonderful it is to see this devotion- that really is what love is all about.
ODD THINGS HAPPEN
Spirit Say there is no such thing as coincidence.,- and I am inclined to agree with them,.,
My sister Rosemary was taken to hospital on Friday with a heart condition., it was a long day for me as I awaited the outcome as the emergency room assessed her, at a city hospital - as I was aware she could be sent home through the night I slept very little but towards morning I dozed lightly, I suddenly heard in my head- her calling my name ! clear as if she was here- I awoke-very alert immediately- I even got up and checked the front door in case she had arrived by taxi from the hospital- but no I was alone.., On telling her the next day she reminded me of her relating to me a dream she had a few days prior to this.
In this dream she was with someone and having a discussion about me- she said to this person “I’ll just call her and she will come.”., she called and I was suddenly there., !
So just what happened here., did she fore see a need for me that did occur this week and was she being shown that I would come to her aid., !
I think the answer is that in the astral she was being prepared for this weeks emergency in which she had to go off to hospital in an ambulance- spirit were reminding her that I would help her and would come to her aid., I actually heard that call 24 hours after she was taken to hospital
Yes life is strange., that’s what makes it so fascinating., !
Two mornings later as I again dozed prior to waking I “heard in my head” a phone ring., I answered and Rosemary was very excited- !!!! why was this so when she was quite ill.- but the next day her tests revealed no damage to the heart and arteries OK., so once more that early morning message was correct- the results were good.
This drama continues., as now she is home from hospital- heart is Ok but the body is not coping with a virus and strong medication.. stressing her heart ! (Late note) she is now alright.
Another odd thing happened on my visit to Norfolk Island, as I lay almost awake in my bed one morning., I felt a sudden thump on my bed., as if a pet had leapt upon it., this pet then walked over my feet area and then left., !., I have had this happen in the past so was not at all upset by it., my ghostly pet had just popped in for a short visit.,
HOW A CHILD SAW IT.
It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. “Is that your dog you got back there?” he asked “It sure is” I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said
“What’d he do?”
A criminal dog perhaps.?
A sign outside a church read ‘-
n THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT CAN’T BE ANSWERED BY GOOGLE. !
If your looking for the key to the universe, I have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is there is no key to the universe. The good news is it has been left unlocked.
BEST POEM !
I came across this little poem, it made my smile and gave me something to think about., !
I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven’s door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its décor
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp-
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice,
Next to him was my old neighbour
Who never said anything nice
Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, “What’s the deal?
I would love to hear your take
How’d all these sinners get up here?
God must’ve made a mistake
And why is everyone so quiet,
So somber- give me a clue
“Hush child, “he said, “they’re all in shock
No one thought they’d be seeing you”
JUDGE NOT.
REMEMBER.....just going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.
Every saint has a PAST
Every sinner has a FUTURE
MODERN NOAH
And the Lord said to Noah “In six months I’m going to make it rain until the whole earth is covered with water and all the evil people are destroyed. But I want you to save a few good people and two of every living thing on the planet. I am ordering you to build me an ark.”
And in a flash of lightning, he delivered the specifications for an Ark.
“OK” said Noah, trembling in fear and fumbling with the blueprints.
“Six months and it starts to rain” thundered the Lord “You”d better have my Ark completed, or learn how to swim for a very long time.:”
Six months passed, the skies began to cloud up and the rain began to fall. The Lord saw that Noah was sitting in his yard weeping and there was no Ark “Noah” shouted the Lord “Where is my Ark?” A lighting bolt crashed into the ground next to Noah. “Lord, please forgive me!” begged Noah
“I did my best but there are big problems. First, I had to get a building permit for the Ark construction project, and your plans didn’t meet the code. I had to hire an engineer to redraw the plans.
Second, I got into a big fight over whether or not the Ark needed a fire sprinkler system.
Third my neighbours objected, claiming I was violating zoning codes building the Ark in my front yard., so I had to get a variance from the City planning commission.
Fourth, I had a big problem getting enough wood for the Ark because there was a ban on cutting trees to save the Spotted Owl. I had to convince U>S> Fish and wildlife that I needed the wood to save the owls, but they wouldn’t let me catch any owls. So no owls.
Fifth, the carpenters formed a union and went on strike. I had to negotiate a settlement with the National Labor Relations Board before anyone would pick up a saw or hammer. Now we have 16 carpenters working on the boat and still no owls.
Sixth, I started gathering up animals, and got sued by an animal rights group. They objected to my taking only two of each kind.
Just when I got the suit dismissed, the seventh thing that happened was that EPA notified me that I couldn’t complete the Ark without filing an environmental statement on your proposed flood. They didn’t take kindly to the idea that they had no jurisdiction over the conduct of the Supreme being.
Eight, the Army Corps of engineers wanted a map of the proposed flood plan, I sent them a globe.
Right now I am still trying to resolve the complaint from the equal opportunity Commission over how many Croatians I’m to hire. The IRS has seized all my assets, claiming I’m trying to avoid paying taxes by leaving the country, and I just got a notice from the State about owing some kind of Use Tax. I really don’t think I can finish your Ark for at least another five years” wailed Noah.
The sky began to clear, the sun began to shine and a rainbow arched across the sky. Noah looked up and smiled “You mean you are not going to destroy the earth?” Noah asked hopefully.
“No” said the Lord sadly “Government already has”
I don’t know where you live but life is becoming more and more complicated., fees for this, taxes for that ! tolls for this, rules for that. ! its all becoming a bit too much.
I was most impressed by the people of Norfolk Island, the population is less than 2000, they have there own government and manage very well., The main income for them is the Tourist trade and they work very hard to make it the best they can offer., everyone keeps the island clean- no litter at all., no crime, doors are able to be left open etc., the bus drivers we had were so happy in their job, many of them had more than one job and took part in the acting out at “the sound and light shows” and the staging of the “Mutiny of the Bounty., “all tours included coffee and cake., morning and afternoon so a silent army of workers prepared this fresh each day., and many homes provided the verandas etc for us to gather. The way they all worked together to keep the island clean and productive was a real lesson. I wish we could manage it in our larger communities.
I will close this month and wish you all a happy but busy time preparing for the coming season, until we meet again., take care and keep smiling.
MOIRA.
