Maria's Report

 

Dear EBWN, 

I am writing to announce that we have begun Ruhi Book number 2 in our Study Circle!  It has had a joyous beginning with the participation of various believers from our city, with two pioneers from another country and two delightful youth, very close to the Faith.  One is a young University student the other is a policeman who has a beautiful face full of Light!!! And enthusiasm.  The most wonderful thing about this event is that it was these two  young people who asked for and encouraged the friends to begin with Ruhi Book 2!  And with the blessing of Tahereh our tutor, who showers us with her loving ways and delights us with small ‘gifts’ from the heart ………….. and with all of this we also not only enjoyed the time together but the laughter never stopped!  The special ‘thing which animates these Study Circles is that Mysterious something…. A magnificent gift of energy and joy which so generously comes from the Realm on High.   Really something miraculous.  When we are united in this wonderful project, with everything so united, there has begun a true collaboration with our city and the small town just across the boarder!  What blessings we have received! 

The Gift of Self:  This is one of the activities we use in our Study Circle.  Each session one of the participants brings the Gift of Self for the others.  This Gift can be anything that the person wishes to share or present to the other members of the Study Circle.  It can be a poem, a song, dance, story, or some small material offering which represents something very special to the one who gives it.  It must come from the heart and is given with love.  It can be uplifting, joyous, funny: just anything which is truly from the heart and soul of the giver.  This activity has truly served to bring much joy to all. 

With love from Maria in Slovenia
