With every step we are moving ahead.
We ll go beyond the clouds and the stars.
To a world where dreams are realised.
A land of inspiration.
Beyond the skies.
the gift of right judgment. We learnt about the seven (signifying the seven days in which God created the world) gifts of the Holy Spirit on saturday. found the lesson particularly more productive for me personally. we were each given a random gift(on a slip of paper.) which is supposed to be our gift for the week, on which we have to reflect and identify it with an object which we were given by the catechist. From the title and the picture, i shouldnt have to tell you which i got. haha, but i will anyway.Right Judgment .The objects i could choose from were-a measuring tape, correction fluid or just ANY measuring object. i gave it some thought during the time we had during class, and settled on a glass beaker. i found myself reflecting a lot, during mass even. we were also given a few sentances from the bible, to help us with the reflection. i got 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22.
it says.'Do not restrain the Holy Spirit; do not despise inspired messages. Put all things to the test: keep what is good and avoid every kind of evil.'thought about it during mass. read that part in the bible over and over and over again. till it began to speak volumes to me. here're my reflections so far. which i have to present next week.the glass beaker.it measures the quantity of a substance. linked to the ability to gauge how much right or wrong there is in an action and in doing so, allowing us to 'keep what is good and avoid every kind of evil' A glass beaker is also open to volumes which have to be measured and therefore it does not despise or reject any inspired messages. in a way. many other gifts come into play. particularly-understanding, wisdom and often, courage.understanding allows one to empathise and thus decide btwn good and wrong. wisdom is needed.and courage.
Courage to accept and face what choices we have made as right judgments.whoah. One person's blog has the piano version of As the deer. so nice la. if you have this video of mother teresa helping the people and you play that song. omg. it'll just turn me into a human fountain la. yea. i get touched very easily. mmhmm. yea. as we get closer to our confirmations, it good to reflect. on SO many things.
