Sacred Vows

A sacred vow, once spoken, becomes a part of your existence forevermore.

Speech is a vehicle for vows, but the sacred vows we speak are more than just words. When we make a promise, a subtle yet powerful shift takes place in our souls where intentions are housed. A vow is both a tool we employ in order to facilitate transformation within ourselves and an expression of will. Thus, to make an oath is to communicate to the universe and our deeper selves our commitment to the principles most important to us. Fulfilling a sacred vow–whether it is as complex as “’till death do us part” or as simple as “I promise”–challenges us, exercising our willpower and aiding personal growth.

When we speak a sacred vow out loud rather than reciting it in our minds or recording it on paper, our voices project our promises into the deepest reaches of the universe. It is important that we remember that a vow made with the sincerest of intentions has the power to carry on past our earthly lifetimes. A well-chosen vow encourages commitment and dedication. The presence or approval of a spiritual teacher is not necessary to success, as true oaths are a product of the heart.

A sacred vow, once spoken, becomes a part of your existence forevermore. Your view of the world around you may change, and your predominant thoughts and feelings will no doubt evolve with time, but the spirit in which your oaths were spoken will remain unaffected. It is up to you to determine how you will stay true to your vows while your inner- and outer-world existence is transformed. Your strength and character will inevitably be tested as circumstances make keeping promises increasingly challenging, but after you have shown yourself steadfast many times, your appreciation of the sanctity of vows will be cemented in your mind and soul.

@mcpoopoo,

Sometimes I can read between the lines and know there is something. All I want is
for you to be healthy and happy. ♥

I love doing the pics on this thread. I am under a great deal of stress and this little
posting helps so much. Of course I shop too. ♥

Thank you for your prayers. You are so sweet. ♥

“Calypso” John Denver

To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean, to ride on the crest of the wild raging storm.
To work in the service of life and the living, in search of the answers to questions unknown.
To be part of the movement and part of the growing, part of beginning to understand.
Aye, Calypso, the places you’ve been to,
the things that you’ve shown us, the stories you tell.
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit, the men who have served you so long and so well.

Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you
to light up the darkness and show us the way.
For though we are strangers in your silent world, to live on the land we must learn from the sea.
To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell, joyful and loving in letting it be.
Aye, Calypso, the places you’ve been to,
the things that you’ve shown us, the stories you tell.
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit, the men who have served you so long and so well.
Aye, Calypso, the places you’ve been to,
the things that you’ve shown us, the stories you tell.
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit, the men who have served you so long and so well.

Cherie you crack me up. You have me smiling. 🙂

OMG! I don’t drink either it is the MOON! ♥

Every single time I gaze and look and linger the Moon gives me fantastic dreams.

Last night it was beautiful color and I had an amazing dream. ♥

I always want to go back in my dream no matter where it is.

I am glad you had a great time with your family friend.

How about some popcorn. ♥

Good Morning Sheba,
Thinking of you. Prayers are sent your way. I hope you are ok. I feel the best way I can help is to pray. I just loved the Veggie Diva’s. They are so darn cute. I loved my rainbow. It was beautiful. My imporant test came out ok. I have to go back in 6 months to have an Mri. Some tissue got caught in between the bone fragments when they were growing back together. They just want to make sure the size of it doesn’t change. That was from my shoulder. My back is still mending. I didn’t want to tell you my troubles when you have enough to deal with. I just thought you might be wondering what is going on. I will be fine. I will help all I can for you and your family with lots of prayers. You are all on my mind. Shebs we all surround you and your family with love. I thank you for your help with the cat top. I keep forgetting to mention it everytime. Hugs are on the way. They should arrive soon. Love ♡
