The word faith probably has a different meaning to everyone, but to me is to see the world as a glorious force of energy; it is the splendour of our universe and the miracle of life.
It is the pleasure we feel when we see a flower and the happiness we feel when we are surrounded by the people we love.
It is the miracle of childbirth and the look of elation and achievement in the new parent’s faces.
It is the pleasure of spending time with children and the wisdom you will find in the all-knowing eyes of old people.
It is the sound contagious laughter and the giggle when we watch our pets perform their silly antics for us because they know we enjoy it.
It is the smile of a child when you feel dejected, and the trust in your dogs’ eyes when it looks up at you, it is the joy that we feel when reuniting with a loved one.
It is the young man taking the time to help an older person cross a busy street, and in that young boy dancing with his grandmother at a wedding.
It is the rain that makes our garden grow and the shining sun that makes the birds twitter happily in our gardens.
It is the kindness in our eyes when we reach out and touch someone in need, and in the ability to make someone laugh and bring them happiness.
It is the courage of firemen and other emergency workers who put their lives at risk to help other people.
It is the tears we shed and the memories we share for those that we loved departed.
Faith is the privilege of having a sane mind and the ability to reason and to talk to God freely. It is the certainty that love is the golden gift that makes every day shine, the ability to forget the ‘self’ and to care for another.
I could go on forever but I think that the words of Kahlil Gibran sum it up perfectly. “Your daily life is your temple and your religion.”
