Timeless by Peter Wehle on July 4, 2020 | 0 Comments

I weep for a weeping world beside a creek full of woe Can there ever be a light for me? Brighter than the sun used to be.

The river flows onward without a feeling of sorrow or even a mess. It is a feeling, nothing more or less.

A symbol of eternal consciousness, This river could be you or it could be me, forever running towards the sea.

It is a river, nothing more, nothing less winding around the curves and bends, flowing briskly, sometimes slowly inexorably to its end.

One more tear of mine would not matter I am but a tiny thing on its platter But, if I weep no more The world will be a better place, full of wonder and full of grace.

A simple understanding that we are all part of this Human Race.

We have seen Life as we knew it just last year, to be absolutely and undeniably different from what it is like now. I, as well as most of you, could never have imagined that we would have gone through the Pandemic we have faced and still dealing with. I say all that to say that, Life can be quite unpredictable and we have seen first hand that it can be down right chaotic.

There only a few things that can keep you going and not allow you to succumb to the things in life that we cant predict or understand. Those things are Having Trust, Faith and Belief in your Higher Power!!! To know that all will be well in spite of what things may look like or seem is the key. However, you have to plant your trust, faith and belief in the source which is "GOD."

He has a plan and purpose for each and everyone of us. There is definitely a reason you think and feel the way that you do. That is because you are a masterpiece that God is creating. Each masterpiece is different and unique. You were wonderfully created to serve a purpose. Each experience is a part of that journey. It is our responsibility to find out and serve out that purpose.

I am saying all that because I have learned this from experience and thought I would share what I have done with that learning, faith, trust and belief in God. So, It is with great excitement and long waited anticipation that I announce that I have been able to become a Certified Addiction-Recovery Coach and I just started my new business: Changing Mindsets, LLC. God is truly amazing and I am so thankful for him in my life!!! I encourage each of you to find your purpose and live life on your terms. I will keep you all posted as I get up and running over the next couple of months. Love you all!! Blessings and Favor!!!

Hey everyone in Pennsylvania it is certainly a time of uncertainty right now. However, that does not mean we have to loose hope or let this pandemic we are experiencing make us loose sight of what is important. You are important!!! Stay vigilante to prepare yourself to stay safe, healthy and ready!!! The order is coming down soon that we will be told to stay home and only go out for essentials. Essentials meaning: grocery store, doctor's visits, hospitals, gas station and work. If that is the case, then prepare yourselves. Get ready to be in for a while. Do some things you have been wanting to do but could not. Activities that you can do in the home. Exercising, reading, resting, meditating, planning, creating, dreaming and keeping yourself busy. This too shall pass. Just know that no matter what happens, you control your mind, your thoughts and that is not available to this Pandemic. Use it for your better not let it do you!!! We were made to survive!!!! Blessings and Favor!!! Stay Safe, Healthy, Positive and Ready!!! Monica #pennsylvania #coronavirus #inspiration #preparation

3/20/20 Friday (My latest essay) Namaste! Pete Wehle I KNOW IMPERFECTLY AND I PROPHESY IMPERFECTLY

If we accept this premise, “I know imperfectly and I prophesy imperfectly”, St. Paul 13-9 then we, in fact, are not infallible. We are perhaps on the path toward some well-needed humility. Also, when we garner a kindness of spirit we gently ease into a more emphatic soul; how could we otherwise unless our hearts are as cold as the proverbial fish?

So, the question is just what makes a human, human? And, I am glad that I asked. I have a sense that I am god-like but I am surely not God! I may sometimes look like a god or perhaps even attempt to act like a god but, God forbid, I am not a God.

I am a man or woman created by a superior being, a God, or an extraterrestrial? Who knows? And, if we are in fact spiritual beings then every life we live is so very important to me as my dear friend Mr. Carl Franklin speaks of as “At One Ment" with God or Spirit. And, we may never really know from whence we came but that assuredly does not mean that we should not keep investigating our roots.

Let us all think more and act more friendly to whoever we encounter in this lifetime. This will make our beliefs more believable bar none.

6/4/19 Tuesday My name is Pete Wehle and I am a Heart Transplant Survivor. Since my transplant, I have developed an incredible craving for chocolate and I have been writing a great deal. (Here is one of my composition,) Love and Compassion and Gratitude, Pete Wehle LOVE IS SOMETHING YOU ARE

I have heard the phrase that, “God is Love and Love is God.” It seems as though, as human beings, that we are constantly searching for the best me or us. We mistakenly believe in our human minds, that if we accomplish something great we will be loved even more than before God created us. How wrong this thinking can be and can lead us down a road traveled quite often.

I recently read a description by Fr. Richard Rohr who wrote, “God’s love does not diminish over time and is the same when we were born and when we die. And that we, as individuals, cannot claim anymore love for us by God regardless of our petty thinking and how many times we sit our butts in a pew; going to church every Sunday will not increase our prayer line to the Almighty.

He goes on to say, paraphrasing again, that accepting and trusting God’s unconditional love for us is never ending and is in an eternal Divine Dance of the Holy Spirit; meaning to me, that our souls are eternal as well and that we should love ourselves. Did not the famous 60s band, “The Beatles,” sing that “All You Need Is “Love?”

If we finally realize our own divinity then we are filled with the Holy Spirit. Now, what we do with our newfound love is entirely up to us. We can trust it and know that God truly loves us for who we are and not for some false identity. We were created, after all, in the image of God!

Good Morning ! :)

Happy Monday!

I have seen the power of being positive in my life. Knowing that something will come in my favor in spite of the difficult circumstances that may come my way has helped me move mountains in life!!! Stay Positive and Know you will be Triumphant in the End!!
