On Justice – A Quote To Carry You

On Justice

justiceA Quote to Carry You

January 19, 2015

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”  Martin Luther King, Jr.

When I think of the injustices that have been committed throughout the history of mankind, it makes me wonder how so basic a requirement for any civilization can get so far off course.  Justice is defined as moral or absolute rightness; the upholding of what is just.   As with anything, once even a small part of the whole weakens, it won’t be long before the entire thing breaks and falls apart, if the weakened part is not attended to.  Think of how our world would be if we all did our part to uphold what is good, just, and right…can you imagine that?

Peace and love,

On Flying

On Flying

flyingA Quote to Carry You

January 12, 2015

“You haven’t seen a tree until you’ve seen its shadow from the sky.”  Amelia Earhart

Flying…what comes to your mind when you think of it?  For me, I think of freedom, a lightness of being, as if I’ve entered into a realm like no other.  Indeed, flying isn’t something that comes naturally to us.  There are many who spend a lifetime simply stuck to the ground.  They look up at the sky, but never reach out far enough to embrace it.  For those who choose to sprout their imaginary wings…flying is filled with limitless possibilities!  The world looks completely different when seen through a fresh viewpoint.

Why not spread your wings today and experience your world through a whole new depth of vision…just imagine what awaits you!

Peace and love,

Nothing Will Be Impossible For You

Nothing will be impossible for you

“Fill Me,” photograph by Felecia R. Weber 2015, OntheWingofaDove.com

“Nothing will be impossible for you.”  There is hardly a truer statement, for when we put our faith in God, nothing is impossible.

“They can conquer who believe they can.”  Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Nothing will be impossible for you” was a theme that lingered in my mind while I visited with my parents during these past holidays.  As always for me, being at my childhood home made me feel comforted and secure; as if nothing in the world could harm me.  Both of my parents have always gently encouraged me to seek, explore and to develop into the person God made me to be.  My recent visit with them was no different.  Their soothing  words affirming that I have much to give and that God has a unique purpose for my life filled me with a renewed confidence in my abilities.  By the time I’d loaded my little dog and our belongings into the car to return to New York, I felt ready to conquer this new chapter in my life.

“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move.  Nothing will be impossible for you.”  Matthew 17:20-21

“Nothing will be impossible for you;” do you believe that?  How is it that we can find confidence in such a statement?  The answer is not a difficult one, but it does require something of us.  When we strive to achieve something important in our lives, getting from point A to point B can seem like a foreboding mountain full of nothing but difficulties and disappointments.  It seems like no matter how many or how few resources we have, there is just no easy way to plow through that mountain of misery…it just seems impossible!  But wait!  There is more to it than that.

“Nothing will be impossible for you.”  There is hardly a truer statement, for when we put our faith in God, nothing is impossible.  God promises to supply all of our needs, and to see us safely through any situation…even moving mountains.  All we need to do is turn it over to Him and trust Him to do so…do you?

Peace and love,

Felecia

On New Beginnings

On New Beginnings

new beginningsA Quote to Carry You

January 5, 2015

“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language, and next year’s words await another voice.  And to make an end is to make a beginning.”  T.S. Eliot

New beginnings…just saying the words fills me with a sense of hope and renewed vigor.  Tossing away the weight of the dinginess of the past year and opening my arms wide in fresh anticipation of the brightness that a whole new one has to offer…I say, let the doors of 2015 fly wide open!

May your new beginnings of the New Year be the best one yet!

Peace and love,

Felecia

On Finishing What We’ve Started

On Finishing What We’ve Started

finishing what we've startedA Quote to Carry You

December 29, 2014

“Being confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 1:6

Here we are at the end of another year.  A time for finishing what we’ve started.  The excitement and magic of Christmas still lingers in the air, yet there is a feeling of uncertainty of what is awaiting us when we step into the New Year.  It is both a thrilling and uneasy sensation all wrapped up into one!  One thing is for sure, God leaves nothing to chance…what He has started, He will finish.  Exciting, challenging, despairing or full of hope.  Whatever the New Year has in store for you, may God see you through to complete what He has started in you…in a most glorious way.

Peace and love,

On Rejoicing

On Rejoicing

rejoicingA Quote to Carry You

December 22, 2014

“And Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies The Lord and my spirit rejoices in God.'” Luke 1:46-47

There is a time for everything…and this is a time for rejoicing!  Soon Christians throughout the world will gather to celebrate the birth of the child who was to be called “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6).  Perhaps in these current times, it is hard to believe that one such as that exists at all.  But on that night so long ago, God reached down in perfect love to mankind, and gave to us a gift that only He could give…one that He promises to continue to fulfill in us still today.

May you, like Mary, open up your heart and soul and believe what our creator has promised…and be filled with a spirit of rejoicing.

Peace and love,

Felecia

On Love and Loss

On Love and Loss

on love and lossA Quote to Carry You

November 17, 2014

“If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.”  Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights

On love and loss…I believe that losing someone can be the catalyst for loving others more deeply.  One thing that I’ve learned after having lost my dear husband, is that life does go on…whether we choose to accept it or not…and it waits for no one.  Another thing that I have realized is that, losing a loved one does not have to be a time of emptiness.  It can actually be the fullest time one can ever experience.  When we move forward in love, bringing the love that we had for our beloved along with us, letting it saturate our lives, our loss becomes a beautiful bounty that we can share with those around us.

When the time comes for you to experience love and loss…may it spawn a harvest of love that never ends.

Peace and love,

Felecia

Noise – What’s in a word?

noise

“A Woman Passing a Cafe,” 1895-97, Maurice Brazil Prendergast. Image from a page of the 2013 Desk Calendar, courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art Store

Noise – What’s in a word?

Loud, bang, clamor, clatter!

Noise! It’s made up of so much chatter!

Chaos. Madness. What is real? What is fake?

All this noise; I’m not sure how much more I can Take!

Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

Noise can be interpreted in so many different ways depending upon so many different circumstances. It can be a friend or a foe.  Sometimes it’s a warning to stop!  Other times it is the nudge we need to get up and go!  Many times, for me, being surrounded by noise makes me feel connected to the world.  The hustle and bustle of all that is around me keeps me moving, productive and energized!  When I am in a pensive state of mind, longing for peace and solitude, noise plays a different role.  During those times, my favorite “noise” is gentle and calming; like the low, enticing hum of a cello, or the gentle cooing of a mourning dove beckoning me from a night’s sleep.  On and on it goes…noise…

What’s in this word for you?  If you care to tell me, please do.

Peace and love,

Felecia
