perspective people waiting
We've all felt anger. It can come when things don't turn out the way we want. It might be a reaction to something which is said of us or to us. We may experience it when people don't behave the way we want them to behave. Perhaps it comes when we have to wait for something longer than we expected. We might feel angry when others can't see things from our perspective. There seem to be countless possible reasons for anger….If we desire to have a proper spirit with us at all times, we must choose to refrain from becoming angry.

The world can be a challenging and difficult place in which to live. We are often surrounded by that which would drag us down.

In this sacred sanctuary we will find peace; we will be renewed and fortified.
