Hi everyone

I hope the year has started off well for you all.  For those that it hasn't - I hope all gets better soon.

In our meetings in January we will be discussing, and hopefully giving the answers to, the questions in the suggestion box.  On the 8th, the subjects will be the importance of mediation and the difference between soul and spirit.

Please don´t think that because you know about these subjects you needn't come to the meeting.  It is because you know that I need you there, so that we can discuss our views and opinions to help those who have asked the questions.

----

It was recently pointed out to me, that the group's WhatsApp is not mentioned at the foot of the messages I send out.  The WhatsApp was started back in the lockdown days but has not been used by many since that time.  So here is a reminder you can WhatsApp [see separate email] to share spiritual items, news, events etc  on  Spiritual Friends Connect

Love to all,

Keep warm

Happy New Year

Hi everyone

I sincerely hope your Christmas was enjoyable.  The days are getting longer and we are now looking forward to a New Year, a new beginning and let us hope it is a more spiritual and more peaceful one.

FIGHT IGNORANCE AND SUPERSTITION  (Silver Birch)

"Each one of you should seek to carry on the work of reform, to bring cheer and happiness to all who need it, to wipe away all tears and to replace them with laughter, to fight all ignorance and superstition, to let knowledge reign in their place, to abolish all the darkness and to allow the light of divine truth to penetrate, to banish all fear, all mourning, all disease, so that love can rule triumphant."

From Laura

“ In the middle of all adversities if you can keep the heart serene, peaceful and joyful….. this is called love”  (Saint Teresa)

Please remember if you have anything of interest to share, just email it to me and if relevant it can be passed on to all in the group.

Thanks to all who have helped run the group during the past year, especially Carl as he is the one who runs the website and facebook (unfortunately I am not computer literate to use either).  Also Joan who supports and encourages me to continue.  And to all who come along to meetings or support the group in any other way.  Plus, although he does not receive the weekly messages, a thank you to Kevin for allowing our meetings at Marley´s Bar.

-----------------

If you make resolutions or have special wishes and dreams for 2025, I sincerely hope they all come true.

My New Year Resolution, is not to make resolutions, as they never last long !!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all and I look forward to seeing you whenever you can make it along to meetings, or hearing from you if you cannot attend due to distance or work.

Merry Christmas

Hi everyone

While we are enjoying the festivities a short note to please remember the names in our Healing Book which also includes people who suffered in so  many ways during the flood in Valencia, (not each by name obviously) but thinking of them all.

While mentioning the flood victims, apparently they now need books, pens etc for the children returning to school.  Also, the Lions Charity Shop in Moraira told me that the people of the towns affected desperately need electrical goods, so if your Christmas gifts have doubled up on a hairdryer, shaver etc (anything electrical right up to fidges and  freezers) there will be collection dates at the Lions.  Or any of the smaller items can be brought along to meetings in the New Year to be passed on to the Lions.

Thanks to all those who donated during the year for the Teenagers of the Home in Benissa.   The Christmas money (shared equally between the ten children at the Home) has been passed to the representatives and both Hazel and Ian thank everyone for their kindness.

I am sure you have better things to do than read a message from me, so I will sign off and leave you with a statement from the book  A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.

"I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach".

Love to all,  Merry Christmas
