[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

 

Namaste.

 

I am going to send this in its entirety so that you can see the perspective

from which I am posting and sharing this with you all. It's quite refreshing

and sweet.

 

Greatest regards,

Patrice

>1. To me, God is someone who points me in the right direction, but does not

>lead me there. It seems like in a way He lives only for me. Of course

that's

> not true, but He is always there when I need something, or when I just

want

>to talk, and He always answers me, always. He also has helped me choose the

>right thing to do in situations to help me later on in my life.

>

>2. There are many things I have done in the last year to become closer to

>God, I believe. I started going to a group that studies, and talks, and

>thanks God for all He has done for this world. I only started going to this

>group this last year. I believe I have prayed to Him more than I ever have.

>

>3. I think that both sayings " God is all " and " All is God " mean both

equally

>the same amount to me, only because, God is all. He is everything we have,

>even your favorite toy. God could have a place in your favorite toy. I

>believe that every breath you take you should all have a little more of God

>in you.
