It was a windy and hot day in the middle of April.
I thought I had a good and deep prayer. I felt like cleansing my heart with tear and gratitude.
After the meeting, I was walking down the hill. Since it was so windy. I said to my friend "It is better to say [a sweet sakura dancing day] than a terrible windy day. It is so romantic isn't it!
It is the same like a happy spring rain rather than rainy day."
And then I saw the shower of cherry blossoms which was totally like a tornado, it was a strong in a whirl, was awesome. I have never seen it before.
I guess I made God happy to enjoy His creation. And God wanted to show more incredible seen to me. I really felt so.
I realize if we are peaceful and grateful enough, we can hear God words through nature and people around us all the time.

We say in the orient that family harmony makes all go well, the Bible says,"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children God."(Matt5/9)
It means that those who bring peace will be son and daughters of God. If there were a messenger of peace in this world who was eliminating the causes of conflict, providing a base for unification, and leading a movement toward the one Lord, God would be compelled to pay attention to that person.
There is an old saying,"Family harmony makes all go well," but do you think family harmony is possible without harmony within the individual? If our own integrity is on the verge of collapse, can we foster harmony in our family? If individuals had carried conflict within themselves from the very outset, those who would deny God existence be right. But our inner conflict came about because something went wrong.Ideologies such as materialism developed, with the wrong diagnosis of reality.
The problem lies within the self, not within society. If there is a problem in my family, it is not because my elder brother is bad, my elder sister is bad, or my father is bad; it is because I am bad. I must first attain a certain standard before I can be in a position to criticize the standard of others.
Only after attaining unity between my own original mind and my body can I proudly enter the one unified world. If my original mind and body are divided, how can I participaate in the world where everything is harmonized?
therefore, I should not allow my body to become my master. I can be happy only when I control my body and direct it to serve my mind; then God will come and dwell within me. It is said that "Family harmony makes all go wall." If I want peace in my family and within myself, I need to unite my mind and body. ---Rev Moon
