Ray’s thoughts from the shores of Skaneateles Lake
Good morning and good morning to all!
This is Ray Kiltz and I’m writing to you from the beautiful shores of Lake Skaneateles.
A pristine FingerLake cupped in the beautiful countryside of Central New York.
God has been here and God is here as I write.
I can feel God’s presence with the energy of this area emanating off the lake, around the beautiful green hills and the beauty of the sunshine streaming onto the water and the lakeside.
This brings to mind a story of love, of renewed hope and of radiance that is the birthright of every individual that has ever been born, that is alive now and that will ever be born.
The gift of life is evident in the beauty that we see in nature everyday.
God bless,
Ray Kiltz

For most, rain is an easy excuse to complain – “Oh, this weather is terrible!” But we need to take the rainy days with the sunny ones and appreciate each day for the gifts that they hold. We can’t let external things, like the weather, control our mood for the day, we must create our own mood! Each day we have the power to construct our mindset and outlook on life. So today, as I see the rain coming down, I think, “Wow, we needed the rain to make the flowers and trees grow. I could use a day to work on paper work inside the house rather than working outside.” Rainy days are often the best ones for getting friends together to watch a movie, or reading a good book in bed! One trick that I use is to not get out of bed before I think of at least one positive thing that the day will hold for me, and then I smile! Creating this positive moment first thing makes a huge difference in the day. When it becomes habit and we do this every day, amazing things can really happen – rain or shine! Read more
