· Quote: “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.
”We’ve just finished 17 weeks of seminars on Wednesday nights.
We worked through DVDs of Grant Mullen www.drgrantmullen.com on topics such as mood disorders, depression, shame, rejection, fear, self-acceptance, burnout, forgiveness, deliverance, co-dependency - all the classic topics spoken of in counselling rooms globally.
On that website above, there are symptoms lists for mood disorders, Dr Grant Mullen’s specialty.Times of learning need to be followed up with times of practice and living in the new learning.
We hope and pray that the 25-30 people who have been with us this year will continue their journey - as we need to also. We have been teaching our children about over-reactions and what they can indicate. There have been some rocky patches for all of us this year, but we’re seeing the fruits of peace and family togetherness now. When the stress points come, we just climb up on the lap of God - an image that Grant uses often through his presentations.
Be like a 5 year old - totally trusting of your parent. Willing but not always useful - but there, and a valued and loved person in the family. My 5yo boy is now 6 and a half - but still as cute and adorable! Comes out with the funniest things. A surprise a day. I couldn’t be without him, even though it’s easy to be exasperated at the slow pace anything is done!
And .. [melt a mother’s heart] he comes for a Morning Hug every day, cos he knows that the day is just not the same if he doesn’t! I found it easy to identify with Grant Mullen’s picture of us being like a 5yo - trust, adoration, willingness, there. I had to work on accepting God’s love for me - this gushing waterfall of love that is freely given … to me!
I encourage you to learn of this AMAZING love and grace of God.
HE is in love with YOU.
Shalom,
Johanna
