FREEDOM IN DETACHMENT
Desires are the most unrelenting enemies of man;
he cannot appease them. Have only one desire: to
know God. Satisfying the sensory desires cannot
satisfy you, because you are not the senses. They are
only your servants, not your Self.
(Paramahansa Yogananda, 'Sayings of Paramahansa Yogananda')

Visited Stockholm
Stockholm a beautiful city. The notable part is the care and good use that history is put to. A potentially win-win situation for everybody.
The toys available at some of the gift shops based on Historical Swedish army units are actually "Made in China" as seen from the labels.

THE WILL OF GOD
If you think you have a need, you can then place it before God and ask whether it is a legitimate prayer. If you feel inwardly that your need is just, then pray: `Lord, you know that this is my need. I will reason, I will be creative, I will do whatever is necessary. All I ask of You is that you guide my will and creative abilities to the right things that I should do.
Be fair with God. Perhaps He has something better for you than what you are praying for. It is a fact that sometimes your most fervent prayers and desires are your greatest enemies. Talk sincerely and justly with God, and let Him decide what is right for you. If you are receptive, He will lead you, He will work with you. Even if you make mistakes, don't be afraid. Have faith. Know that God is with you. Be guided in everything by that Power. It is unfailing. This truth is applicable to every one of you.
