Merry Christmas 2018!



Something About Christmas Time, Bryan Adams

Can we have Christmas throughout the year?
Ya- if we give it away every day- that is the love that it brings!!


More songs for the season:

Let Go, Hilsong 

When we let go- of our control, our wishes- 
then we will find ourselves in that place of love
where we are empowered and our dreams do come true!

Without You, Big Daddy Weave

Without this special gift given to all of us, where would we be??!




In the winter this Robin hangs around 
because these trees still provide for it!
We are provided for, just sometimes 
we have to be diligent to look for it!



Don't be afraid to have fun this season,
but remember that the magic and wonder 
it brings is in you throughout the year!









What we are praying for:

God we pray that children all over the world this Christmas Season will be given reasons to believe there is hope on this planet! Help people everywhere to forgive and show love to others around them. Help everyone who has much to remember those who don't. Grant us the inner strength to believe and to do our part in this world to make it a better place and bring your peace.







Scriptures:

John 3:16. For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
 

1 John 4:7. Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.
 


Romans 5:5. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
 

Ephesians 3:16-17. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 




Have a very blessed time this season
And remember that the magic is in you!!

Remember! November 2018

Remember that we all come from a place of love, 
where there is no difference between us,
 where there is peace and hope and faith in each other!

 

Wherever we go, love follows us,
watching over to protect and guide!






My heart is always in good hands! 
Maybe I should follow it!



  It seems the best people sometimes go through bad things,
but love can bring good out of it!



Feel like you're breathing fire?!
Remember we come from love, we are love,
and that is the key in every situation, 
to bring healing in you, in them! 

Nothing's Beyond Broken, Chris August, click here!


 Love brings the change in us first!!
And that brings real freedom!








God Knows! It is impossible for us to make it on our own, click here.
We can gain the strength and wisdom we need from above if we simply ask.









 Remember our vets!! Love them, pray for them, hold them in your heart!




What we are praying for:



God, protect our vets from violence, protect all our men and women who are serving in military here and all over the world. Bring healing to all those traumatized. May they have the medical help they need and the encouragement of others.
God, may mental health and trauma be understood and be attended to appropriately here in Canada and the U.S.
May all those who suffer recognize it and get the understanding and help they need.
God, help all those bereaved. Comfort them, strengthen them. Give them your grace to live with passion in honour of those who have gone before them.




God we pray for world peace. 
Please stop nations who have intent to harm through armament or cyber attacks from attaining the resources to do so. 
Grant all governments and rulers the chance to negotiate peaceably and the willingness to do so. 
May the rulers of all countries have the desire to seek your wisdom and use it for peace.
God, help our religious groups to seek your presence and your wisdom and take their place in helping the members of our society to heal.



God, help everyone in the GTA to live in peace with each other. Help everyone to love and respect those different than themselves. Help us to see and honour the good everyone has within them.  Help us to accept the good in ourselves!



Scriptures:

 1 Corinthians 13:13. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud... 
it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
John 1:5. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Quotes:
Martin Luther King Jr.- " Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
Leonard Cohen- " There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in."

October, Be Thankful! 2018



 Be thankful for who your are and what you have to give and don't be afraid to share it!




Diligently seek ways you can be involved in this world and share love through your talents!
Be thankful for your talents and share them!







We are to be the change!






You Are Loved, Josh Groban

 Never give up!!
You are beautiful! 
You do have a message!




Fall back in love with yourself! (Click here for link to more thoughts on Fall!)

Keep yourself healthy so you can do good for others!

 

 

 

 

 





The Message, 2012, click here.
The thing she came back to teach us was that the most important thing is to be yourself, even more important than being positive. That's why we are here, because we are all facets of one.

Thoughts from Anita Moorijani, on Wayne Dyer's show, Wishes Fulfilled on PBS, June 4/12.

What we are praying for:

God, we pray that people everywhere during this season will feel a strong sense of gratitude for their lives, for their talents, for their blessings and be freed to share love through them.



God, we pray that families will be reunited, restored and their hearts filled with peace and love. We pray that those who feel alone will find peace in their hearts and find family among friends. May those who have lost loved ones feel your peace and comfort and find joy in their memories especially during the seasonal times of celebration. Help those who have suffered loss of any kind to receive your comfort that heals and your light that brings clear direction.

God, help our religious groups to seek your presence and your wisdom and take their place in helping the members of our society to heal.




God, we pray for the artists throughout the GTA, that they spread the message of love and peace effectively through their talents.
God, we pray that all festivals, fundraisers and all public gatherings are safe for all who participate and those who attend and that all have a good experience with love, joy and peace!









Scriptures:
 
Colossians 3:15-17 English Standard Version

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.


Phillipians 4:6 English Standard Version

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.





Thank you for praying with us!!

September 2018! Back to life! Back to reality!






Summer is unofficially over! We are facing challenges, 
some new and some old! Different challenges come because of the stage of life we are in.
In every situation we find ourselves, love is the key. We must look at everything through love. 
Peace and inner strength come from above. We all have these within, 
but must receive and nurture them 
by giving the love within us away!

Tears For Fears, Shout 

To see what we're up to at Street Church, click here!




We are strong when we are weak. 
Every one of us is born with love inside
 and the strength to face the changes  that come to us
throughout our lives and the faith in our hearts to believe.
Inside us is the DNA, the gifts from above, all we need to be! 
To be us! To be and do all we were meant to!

Lauren Daigle, You Say

Lauren Daigle, Trust In You



Hurts, pain and voices around us make us feel different that who we are- which is true? Which way to choose??

One step at a time, one direction to focus on even if there are detours ahead!
Roll up your shirt sleeves. Do the work you need to prepare yourself and move ahead!

Jonathan and Melissa Helser, Strength

What we are praying for:

God help everyone to have the courage and wisdom they need to face life's changes and challenges. Help the lonely to find friends that are good for them. Help all to heal from past hurts and follow the right opportunities for them.

God, please pour out your spirit and inspire people in our communities to let you fill their hearts with your love.
May they feel your presence and know you are real. Enable them to forgive and reach out to those around them with your love.


God, protect all public gatherings, the celebrations and fund raisers. 
May people everywhere be safe. Help those in charge to have the wisdom 

to stop all acts of violence and prevent accident
God, bring your healing to all those who are sick. Keep our hospitals a safe place for all within. Help the doctors and all health care workers to do their jobs with expertise and respect. May all who enter there get the care they need and be protected from harm and disease. Fill the hospitals and all medical care facilities with love, joy and peace.

 
 




 
Scriptures:

Isaiah 40: 26-31. The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.

Ephesians 6:10-18. Let God empower you. Let the Holy Spirit change your nature to be like Christ's. Pray always in the Spirit about everything.

Ephesians 1:3. All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.

Philippians 4:13. For I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

2 Corinthians 1: 21-22.  It is God who enables us, along with you, to stand firm for Christ. He has commissioned us, and he has identified us as his own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything he has promised us. 

Galatians 6: 9-10. So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. 10 Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.

August 2018



Let's take back our city streets!!

This month we are praying that people in every neighbourhood and every community in the GTA take back the city streets!! It's time for people to come together like never before and this includes everyone! All need to feel like they belong and are accepted in their community. No one being left out or made to feel different from the rest. And anyone who doesn't seem to fit in or appears to be withdrawing from others or appears to be in distress 
needs to be reached out to and invited to be a part!!



From music in the streets




Peace (Lyric Video) - Josh Baldwin (click here)




 to those bright city lights!

Dancing Dragons!

Or trips to the island, this city is for those who love and celebrate life!
(For website click here)






What we are praying for:

God, help everyone who suffers mental illness and all who have suffered rejection, and those who feel lonely or isolated to get the help they need.
Help our communities to provide the right services for these individuals and make them accessible.
Help us to recognize those in distress and how to reach out to them. Raise up groups to offer support. 
Raise up people in every neighbourhood to pray for their community. 
God, bring your comfort, salvation and healing to those who suffered violence and those bereaved. Help those in charge restore peace to our city streets.
God, help everyone to be loving and respectful no matter their differences in race, religion or sexuality.




Scriptures from the Bible:

Galatians 6:2. Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. 

1 Peter 4:8-10. Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. 

John 13:34-35. A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”


 

Scriptures from the Quran:

1. Goodness does not consist in turning your face towards East or West. The truly good are those who believe in God and the Last Day, in the angels, the Scripture, and the prophets; who give away some of their wealth, however much they cherish it, to their relatives, to orphans, the needy, travelers and beggars and to liberate those in debt and bondage; those who keep up the prayers and pay the prescribed alms; who keep pledges whenever they make them; who are steadfast in misfortune, adversity and times of danger. These are the ones who are true, and it is they who are aware of God.  
(Al Quran 2:178) 




Continue to enjoy life and take advantage of the choice to help others always!
Thank you for praying for the peace and well being of our great city!
