The Holy Spirit: Questions To Ponder About

By David Abraham

Many believe they know who and what the Holy Spirit is. Let's explore that thought. Is the belief based on personal experience or is it based on church doctrine? Is the Holy Spirit even explainable or can we only be lead to our own personal experience with God? We are told the Holy Spirit is a counselor and a guide. How do we hear our guidance? These important questions remain unanswered for many 'believers'.

Nobody can really define the Holy Spirit in terms we can all understand. The reason for that is because each of our experiences gets filtered and interpreted through our ego mind. What needs to happen in order to communicate a fuller understanding of the Holy Spirit is for people who believe they are already receiving guidance from the Holy Spirit to gather and exchange their experiences with each other. Although not everyone has the same name when referring to their spiritual guidance everyone agrees that the guidance of the Holy Spirit comes from within.

I've heard people who refer to the Holy Spirit as their higher self and others believe that the Holy Spirit is what a guardian angel is. The belief in higher self is the idea that we eventually become an ascended master who then transcends time and space. Maybe the Holy Spirit and Guardian angels are 2 different kinds of beings altogether. Still others believe the Holy Spirit is another name for our Creator God who is everywhere.

What does the Holy Spirit do to guide us?

Why does the creator have a Holy Spirit for us to be guided by?

How do we connect with spirit?

How long will it take for the Holy Spirit to guide us to everlasting peace?

Because God is everywhere and God is also Spirit we receive guidance from within as well as from outside of ourselves. Often times we may not hear what we already know internally so when we hear it coming from outside of our self its like 2 or more minds coming together and agreeing. The Holy Spirit relates to us individually as well as collectively. Its up to us to be open to the gift of guidance that we have all been given.

Incorporate The Warm Colors Of Autumn In Your Fall Wedding Favors

By Aaron Hu

Autumn is a great season for marriage as it is one of the most vibrantly colorful times of the year. This bold color pallet as well as the wide variety of fruit available during this time will enhance any Fall wedding favor and make it an original hit with your guests. So you might be wondering how you can find fall wedding favors that are right for you. First think about the meaning that fall can bring to your gift. Autumn is a time completion when the plants and crops that sprouted in spring finally bear fruit. This is a great message to convey to your guests through your wedding favors. Second, make your gifts novel items that amuse your guest by using fruit and harvest themed items as favors. They can be candles or other items that come in these shapes and are adorned with seasonal decorations. Finally make use of the bold colors of the season that will make the favor items immediately eye catching.

As the bride, you want to show that you have put much thought into the items you give to your guests. Using the symbolism of Autumn is a great way to do so. As mentioned, early the fall season is known as harvest time, a period completion when everything has finished bearing it's fruit. Use personalized message tags to convey this thought by attaching these to the items you give to your guests. For example, you could give a candle shaped like a sheaf of wheat with a tag on that says" Thanks for coming to witness our love bear fruit." The important point is to convey your feelings about your ceremony in interesting ways that your guests will surely enjoy and remember long after the day ends.

Second, use this time of the year to give novel gifts that you would not normally be able to give at other times of the year. Say for example you use a harvest theme. An interesting and amusing gift would probably be an elegant wedding favor with a farmer harvesting his crop. The item will not only catch the eye of the guest but will surely be something they can use as a conversation piece. The point is to make the gifts fun, interesting, and amusing. Another way is to give candles in iconic fall shapes. They are great gifts because, not only are they unique gifts, but they can be used as interesting decoration pieces that your guest can use at home. Take the opportunity to use quirky and unusual gifts and have fun with it. Just make sure that the favors don't overshadow the table setting and other decorations. The key is to keep things in tasteful balance and coordination.

Finally, make use of the bold color pallet of the season's leaves to make an eye catching impression on your guests. This works well as you can use leaf decals on just about any wedding favor item you can think of from candle holders to favor boxes. Autumn leaves provide a unique and tasteful way to give your guests favor gifts in touch with the season.

Fall is bright and vibrant season. Convey the excitement of the season in a way that shows your guests how eager you and your groom are to close one chapter of your relationship and embark on a new one. The boldness of Autumn will be an aspect of your wedding that your guests will always remember.
