Family Nature Walk & Reflection • “Every man of discernment, while walking upon the earth, feeleth indeed abashed, inasmuch as he is fully aware that the thing which is the source of his prosperity, his wealth, his might, his exaltation, his advancement and power is, as ordained by God, the very earth which is trodden beneath the feet of all men. There can be no doubt that whoever is cognizant of this truth, is cleansed and sanctified from all pride, arrogance, and vainglory.” — Bahá’u’lláh, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf (at Mount Dandenong, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYvbd0UP8lF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Family Nature Walk and Reflection • “Whatever I behold I readily discover that it maketh Thee known unto me, and it remindeth me of Thy signs, and of Thy tokens, and of Thy testimonies. By Thy glory! Every time I lift up mine eyes unto Thy heaven, I call to mind Thy highness and Thy loftiness, and Thine incomparable glory and greatness; and every time I turn my gaze to Thine earth, I am made to recognize the evidences of Thy power and the tokens of Thy bounty. And when I behold the sea, I find that it speaketh to me of Thy majesty, and of the potency of Thy might, and of Thy sovereignty and Thy grandeur. And at whatever time I contemplate the mountains, I am led to discover the ensigns of Thy victory and the standards of Thine omnipotence.” — Bahá’u’lláh, Prayers and Meditations, CLXXVI (at Mount Dandenong, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYvac4ZPcPt/?utm_medium=tumblr

Family Nature Walk and Reflection • “Say: Nature in its essence is the embodiment of My Name, the Maker, the Creator. Its manifestations are diversified by varying causes, and in this diversity there are signs for men of discernment. Nature is God's Will and is its expression in and through the contingent world. It is a dispensation of Providence ordained by the Ordainer, the All-Wise.” — Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh, Lawh-i-Hikmat (at Mount Dandenong, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYvZ3isPlyw/?utm_medium=tumblr

Mindfulness Art Activity • Elisa and I are listening now to children’s songs about different spiritual qualities and virtues and Elisa has to think of the spiritual quality and its application in her life. Here Elisa is listening to a song on Trustworthiness ‏ and is drawing a computer screen through which she watches her cartoons and said that it is trustworthiness when she promises her Mom and Dad to watch one more clip and she turns it off on time even if she was tempted to watch another one and her parents were not around!

Gratitude Journal • I have had this gratitude journal since 2016 (the year my daughter was born) and now we are in 2021. As I go through the pages I can see how blessed I was, still am and will always be. The beauty of life is in the small things that we experience every day. The wealth of my soul. ••••••••••••••••••• #wholebynoora #journal #writing #gratitude #happiness #joy #life (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR6JrEIhLZL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Book Club • “The betterment of the world can be accomplished through pure and goodly deeds, through commendable and seemly conduct” The Words of God are like an ocean and we strive day by day to translate them into reality. In Baha’i children’s classes, we have the examples and stories of Abd’u’lBaha , the Perfect Exampler, to help us and the children understand how those concepts can be brought to life. In addition, what are some of the literature available for children that help us in this process? Please share your experience. I found this book very interesting especially in the way it explores kindness in the thoughts and actions of the young character in the story. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #bookclub #children #parents #educators #teachers #books #kindness (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQXwghkhvBy/?utm_medium=tumblr
