Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
In their gray visions capture glimpses of eternity and trembling he woke to find they have reached the limit of the great secret.
In an instant, they learn something of the discernment of good and something more than the mere knowledge of evil.
Edgar Allan Poe
"When I am among the trees,
especially the willows and the honey locust,
equally the beech, the oaks and the pines,
they give off such hints of gladness.
I would almost say that they save me, and daily.
I am so distant from the hope of myself,
in which I have goodness, and discernment,
and never hurry through the world
but walk slowly, and bow often.
Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, “Stay awhile.”
The light flows from their branches.
And they call again, “It's simple,” they say,
“and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.”

I never conceive the Love as temporary, it's always been "since I was little" forever, like we love our parents forever in us. "I have so much love to share, even more being an only child and lost my father at my 14 years". This unconditional love... it exists, being together, to support each other and not to go away when a problem arises..., on the contrary to do everything together to solve it , that's love... face everything, the good, the bad of love, of life, because there are pitfalls... . But be united in the couple, in communication, be authentic and hiding nothing, respecting and trusting each other solves everything... with also Faith... in us and with God (if we believe in God), Nothing is insurmountable, God makes us experience things in our lives, for our Good, to make us Understand..., Grow..., and sometimes Change our life Patterns for discernment, understanding of our erroneous vision or not.
**************************************
Nunca concibo el amor como algo temporal, siempre ha sido “desde chiquita” para siempre, como amamos a nuestros padres para siempre en nosotros. “Tengo tanto amor para compartir, más aún siendo hija única y perdí a mi padre a mis 14 anos”. Este amor incondicional... existe, solo hay que estar juntos "en simbiosis, apoyarse y no alejarse cuando surge un problema... al contrario, hacer todo juntos para solucionarlo, eso es amor... todo para enfrentarlo. lo bueno lo malo del amor, de la vida, porque hay trampas... pero ser soldado en la pareja en la comunicacion, ser autentico y no hacer nada escondiendose, respetando y confiando todo lo soluciona... con la Fe tambien ... en nosotros y con Dios (si creemos en Dios), Nada es insuperable, Dios nos hace vivir cosas para vivir en nuestra vida, para nuestro bien, para hacernos Comprender, Crecer y a veces Cambiar nuestros planes de vida para el Discernimiento, Comprension de nuestra vision, ya sea que esté equivocada o no.

Je ne conçois jamais l'amour de manière temporaire, ça toujours été "depuis toute petite' pour toujours, comme on aime nos parents pour toujours en nous . "J'ai tellement d'amour à partager, encore plus en étant fille unique et perdu mon père à 14 ans". Cet amour inconditionnel ... il existe, il suffit d'être ensemble, se soutenir et ne pas s'en aller quand un problème se pose..., au contraire tout faire ensemble pour le résoudre , c'est cela l'amour... tout affronter le bien, le mal de l'amour, de la vie, car il y en a des embûches ... mais être soudé dans le couple, dans la communication, être authentique et ne rien cacher, se respecter et se faire confiance résout tout... avec aussi la Foi... en nous et avec Dieu (si nous croyons en Dieu), Rien n'est insurmontable, Dieu nous fait vivre des choses dans nos vies, pour notre Bien , nous faire Comprendre ..., grandir ..., et parfois changer nos shémas de vie pour le discernement, la compréhension de notre vision erronée ou non.

- Thanks for your tags, awards, your support People ^^
While walking my path one day,
I stopped along the way.
Sensing a soul nearby,
Downtrodden and about to cry.
Once I found it, I held it tight.
My heart reached out to help make things right.
Dawn had reached my path.
In the light I did bask.
Solitude was no more.
Cheerful peace was at my door.
Engaging in an adventure in life;
Rugged rocks and twisted trees.
No more bloody knees.
My only wish is to walk along,
Enveloping others in a happy song.
Now I know my way.
True to myself...every day.
There are some paths that seem right. Let wisdom and discernment be your companions and guiding light. You will never walk alone or find your feet on a crooked path. This day, I found a path worthy of my feet and my camera. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and find your own paths.
Thank you for the kind favs and comments. They are most appreciated.

I am your servant; give me discernment
that I may understand your statutes.
It is time for you to act, Lord;
your law is being broken.
Because I love your commands
more than gold, more than pure gold,
and because I consider all your precepts right,
I hate every wrong path.
Psalm 119:125-128
WHEN I AM AMONG THE TREES by Mary Oliver
When I am among the trees,
especially the willows and the honey locust,
equally the beech, the oaks and the pines,
they give off such hints of gladness,
I would almost say that they save me, and daily.
I am so distant from the hope of myself,
in which I have goodness, and discernment,
and never hurry through the world
but walk slowly, and bow often.
Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, "Stay awhile."
The light flows from their branches.
And they call again, "It's simple," they say,
"and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine."
During times of hardship and darkness, when all seems out of control and of our hands, there is a place within all of us we can go back to, the center of our inner peace , where faith ,hope and hopefully love, reside.
In that place, we can hold space for our Light , return to ourselves and use discernment about what is true, permanent and essential . We do need to find again a new way to relate to the world and others, to all life around us.
It is time.
I return to myself
I return to my shadow
I return to the core of my being.
I return to what I've lost and forgotten,
abandoned and rejected.
I return to my grief, to my fear
and to places where I feel powerless
until it all transforms into wisdom.
I return to my body and breath.
I return to my humanity.
I return to my heart.
I return to compassion.
I return to Earth.
I return to call all parts of me home.
I return to my soul.
I return to oneness.
I return to my life whole.
~Tanya Markul
Oh the light in the dark
You are the belle in mention
So comely and facinating
Formal in nature
Easy to discernment
The key to a way
I pean a song for you
Your life is not tortous
May I ask you
Are you the moon
Where is the sun...
For your likes are gold
You are gold
Precious; so precious; for precious; in precious
Your name is you and and you are your name
Purely,
Your beauty is unkowashirtable
Oh seraphic

Following a well published design competition the winning design by the architectural firm of Edward Brodhead Green & William Sidney Wicks stood out from the other three finalists, it was noted for its Romanesque exterior, Byzantine-revival styled sanctuary and tall central tower that would dominate the skyline of late 19th century Buffalo through the present day.
Ground breaking took place and the first services were held in the newly built chapel on September 11, 1889, then on December 13, 1891 the first services were held in the newly constructed sanctuary. However the new building was not dedicated until after the completion of the tower on May 16, 1897

Best Gospel Hymns | 2019 Gospel Song With Lyrics "What the Young Must Pursue" | Videos Gospel
I
Prejudiced eyes and deceit are not what the youth should have.
Awful and destructive ways are not how the youth should act.
They should have aspirations, ardently strive to advance,
not lose heart over their prospects,
keep faith in life, the future.
Youth should have resolve in discernment, seeking justice and the truth.
Pursue all things beautiful,
gain reality of positive things.
Be responsible towards life.
You must not take this lightly. You must not take this lightly.
II
Youth should persist in the path of truth,
thus expend their lives for God.
They should not lack the truth,
nor harbor falseness, unrighteousness.
They should take the proper stance.
They shouldn’t just drift along.
They should dare to sacrifice, fight for justice and the truth.
Youth should have resolve in discernment, seeking justice and the truth.
Pursue all things beautiful,
gain reality of positive things.
Be responsible towards life.
You must not take this lightly. You must not take this lightly.
III
Young people should not give in to oppression of dark force.
They must have the courage to change the meaning of their lives.
Young people shouldn’t resign themselves to adversity,
they should be open and frank, forgive fellow believers.
Youth should have resolve in discernment, seeking justice and the truth.
Pursue all things beautiful,
gain reality of positive things.
Be responsible towards life.
You must not take this lightly. You must not take this lightly.

And it seems a daunting task,
Trust the Lord for true discernment -
He'll give wisdom if your ask. - Hess

Gospel Movie "Awakening" (2) - Discern Salvation From Full Salvation
www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/gospel-movie-awakening-2/
What is being saved? What is being fully saved? Do you know the difference between them? This film clip will lead you to explore this question.
Storyline:
Lu Xiu’en was a preacher of a house church in China. Believing the rumors and notions spread by the pastor, she insisted that man’s sins had been forgiven by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus, that man was saved by faith and didn’t need to receive any other salvation. As a result, she resisted and rejected Almighty God’s gospel in the last days many times…. However, an unexpected experience made her see the true face of the pastor, and thus she had some discernment of him and her heart began to awaken. Just at that time, Almighty God’s gospel in the last days came upon her. This broke her imaginations and notions about God’s work and gave her a brand new knowledge of salvation and full salvation. And then she accepted Almighty God’s gospel in the last days without hesitation. However, the pastor didn’t stop disturbing her, and this caused her great distress. Under the watering of Almighty God’s word, she saw clearly the ugly face of the pastor and his deceptive tricks. She awakened resolutely….

Father Poemen said, “Teach your mouth to say that which you have in your heart.”
Father Poemen said that blessed Father Antony used to say, “The greatest thing a man can do is to throw his faults before the Lord and to expect temptation to his last breath.”
He also said, “Not understanding what has happened prevents us from going on to something better.”
He also said, “Do not lay open your conscience to anyone whom you do not trust in your heart.”
He also said, “Teach your heart to guard what your tongue teaches.”
Father Poemen said, “Watchfulness, self-knowledge, and discernment: These are the guides of the soul.”
-POEMEN (CALLED THE SHEPHERD)
Kupala Night is celebrated in Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, and Russia currently on the night of 23/24 June in the Gregorian or New Style calendar. The celebration relates to the summer solstice when nights are the shortest and includes a number of Slavic rituals.
There is an ancient belief that the eve of Ivan Kupala is the only time of the year when ferns bloom. Prosperity, luck, discernment and power would befall on whoever finds a fern flower. Therefore, on that night, village folk would roam through the forests in search of magical herbs and especially the elusive fern flower.

Because Matter is a slippery slope that can subtly steer one in the wrong direction, discernment is crucial. Since, as Teilhard notes, “there can be no summits without abysses,” 4 it is important to know how to negotiate the slopes and to use all available footholds that lead to the final goal.

Aujourd’hui, les logiciels de traitement moderne et l’intelligence artificielle offrent des possibilités impressionnantes : retouche photo presque indétectable, amélioration automatique du son ou de la vidéo, génération d’images ou de textes sur mesure…
Ces outils ouvrent des portes créatives et techniques que l’on n’imaginait pas il y a encore quelques années.
Cependant, comme pour tout progrès, l’excès peut nuire. Trop d’effets, de filtres ou de corrections risquent de dénaturer l’authenticité, de gommer l’émotion ou même d’induire en erreur.
À force de vouloir “perfectionner”, on finit parfois par perdre le naturel et la singularité qui font la valeur d’un contenu.
La clé reste donc la modération et le discernement : utiliser l’IA et les outils modernes comme un soutien ou un embellissement, mais sans leur laisser tout le contrôle.
C’est dans l’équilibre entre innovation et authenticité que naît la vraie richesse créative …
°°°°°°°°°°°°
Today, modern editing software and artificial intelligence offer impressive possibilities: nearly undetectable photo retouching, automatic enhancement of sound or video, custom-generated images or texts…
These tools open creative and technical doors we could hardly have imagined just a few years ago.
However, as with any advancement, excess can be harmful. Too many effects, filters, or corrections risk distorting authenticity, erasing emotion, or even misleading the audience.
By seeking “perfection” at all costs, we sometimes end up losing the natural and unique qualities that give content its true value.
The key, therefore, lies in moderation and discernment: using AI and modern tools as support or enhancement, but without letting them take over entirely.
It’s in the balance between innovation and authenticity that true creative richness emerges ...
A time added to the great deception where most believe the lie.
The Desolation and abomination as spoken and prophecied is about to happen. Why look for the 3rd Temple and listen to those liars . The temple are your bodies as in 1 Corinthian 3. Soon or few years from now the abomination and desolation will be done against your own temple, your bodies.
If any of you have the idea of this, do pray for discernment!

When I Am Among the Trees
When I am among the trees,
especially the willows and the honey locust,
equally the beech, the oaks and the pines,
they give off such hints of gladness.
I would almost say that they save me, and daily.
I am so distant from the hope of myself,
in which I have goodness, and discernment,
and never hurry through the world
but walk slowly, and bow often.
Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, “Stay awhile.”
The light flows from their branches.
And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say,
“and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.”
