"O my God! O my God! Unite the hearts of Thy servants, and reveal to them Thy great purpose. May they follow Thy commandments and abide in Thy law. Help them, O God, in their endeavor, and grant them strength to serve Thee. O God! Leave them not to themselves, but guide their steps by the light of Thy knowledge, and cheer their hearts by Thy love. Verily, Thou art their Helper and their Lord."

I'm making a list
and checking it twice
it has nothing to do
with being naughty or nice.

I'm making list
of goals to achieve
goals I will accomplish
if I act and believe.

17 Mulk 181 B. E. - February 22, 2025


My Growth and Gratitude Journal arrived yesterday. This journal was created by Kami Ahmadi, a Baha'i. It covers three months, with a weekly review at the end of every week and a quarterly review at the end of the journal.

Each day contains a quote from the Baha'i writings. Following each quote is space for reflections, with questions to inspire thought. There is also a place to write something I am thankful for.

In addition there is room to write someone I want to pray for. The last item is a space for "Today's Note". I will add the items I am grateful for to my thankful Thursday gratitude list and post them to my notebook.

Once you get out of a habit --for whatever reason--it's hard to get back into it. I'm attempting to get back to writing and meditating, because it's easier for me to write when I meditate. I ordered a meditation and gratitude journal from the Baha'i Publishing Trust, which should arrive in the next week or so.

Today I responded to a review request. It was a good story.

I'm getting back into writing poems and will post some in my blog or enter them into contest. I'm also going to post stuff from my pen and paper journal.

How do I pick my favorite scripture verse when the Bab, Baha'u'llah, and 'Abdu'l-Baha have revealed and written so many. Maybe I need to pick one verse from each and write about them individually.

One of my favorite scriptures by the Bab is the Remover of difficulties. It is about four sentences long, but it is inspiring and helps me overcome worries.
"Is there any Remover of difficulties save God? Say: Praise be to God! He is God! All are His servants and all abide by His bidding!
The Bab

I read the prayer at the beginning of the small prayer book. It begins with "Blessed is the spot" and realize that the Long-term care facility I live in is blessed. It is blessed because God's name is mentioned and praised even in a whispered prayer.

It's the day before Valentine's Day and I've finished my small box of chocolates. I've got other treats stashed in a Christmas bag, which I 'll get out and put in a container I've got on the dresser. I have to finish cleaning out the bed side table before March 20, when the Baha'i New Year starts.

Blessed is the planet
on which God's name is spoken,
praised, and glorified.

Prayer gives you W ings
helps you ascend
Into the sky of trust in God.

Prayer lets your soul fly
above your doubts
and glide above the ground of fear
rather than plummet and hide.

Thirty-eight days until Naw-Ruz and the beginning of the Baha'i New Year. I'm looking forward to it, because it gives me a chance to refocus on my spiritual goals. I have a new journal ready to begin the year. I've also decided on which book I will be reading and meditating on.

I will start the year reading Summon of the Lord of Hosts, which is a compilation of the letters Baha'u'llah wrote to the kings and rulers in power during His life time. What other books I'm going to read during 182 B. E. I don't know yet. Some of those will depend on what I have access to here at this long-term care facility or on writing.com.

Verse by verse I readThe Hidden Words
the perfume of the revelations
of all the prophets of God of old
and restated by the Lord of Hosts.

I meditate on these gems of wisdom
these radiant reflections of paradise
that in this day descended to Earth
from the pen of the Glory of God.

Don't worry!
Remember the words of The Bab:
"God sufficeth all things above all things
and nothing in the heavens or in the earth,
or in anything that lieth between them
but God sufficeth.
Verily He is in Himself the Knower, the Sustained, the Omnipotent."

Don't worry!
Remember the words of Baha'u'llah:
"God is sufficient unto me:
He verily is the all-sufficing!
In Him let the trusting trust. "

Don't panic!
This present darkness
isn't the ultimate end of humanity,
it's only the darkness before
the dawn of unity.
