Silver Cross Necklace For Men

Silver Cross Necklace For Men

 

Read this prayer of gratitude by Jonathon Sacks:

 

I thank Him for the love that has filled our home for so many years. Life is never easy. We’ve had our share of pain. But through it all we discovered the love that brings new life into the world, allowing us to share in the miracle of birth and the joy of seeing our children grow.

I thank Him for the blessing of grandchildren. I don’t know why it is I was so surprised by joy, but in their company my constant thought is that I didn’t know that life could be that good.

I thank Him for the Friends who stood by us in tough times, for the mentors who believed in me more than I believed in myself, and for the teachers who encouraged me to think and question, teaching me the difference between truth and mere intellectual fashion.

I thank him for those rare souls who lift us when we are laid low by the sheer envy and malice by which some people poison their lives and the lives of others. I thank Him for the people I meet every day who light up the world with simple gestures of humanity and decency.

 

 

The last few years the understanding of gratitude has reached out and become a big part of spiritual awareness. The silver cross necklace for men has always been a big part of spiritual awareness for men.

 

 

 

One of the things that make cross necklaces for men so popular is first, the cross is the most popular type of Christian symbol. Two, the cross represents the doctrines of Christianity and all the teachings of Christianity. So, cross necklaces for men is a great symbol for Christian men regarding gratitude.

 

The sterling silver mens cross necklace was designed so that men could wear masculine styles of cross necklaces. HandCraftedCollectibles took this one step further and lead the movement to create collections that were all about cross necklaces for men.

Sterling silver Christian jewelry reflects inspirational symbols that are uplifting like scripture quotes and Church hymns. The extra benefit of Christian jewelry is that you can wear it with you anywhere, anytime. Of course you can always memorize your favorite scriptures and hymns and carry those in your mind and heart at all times. I like that idea. The only thing more about Christian jewelry is it's fashionable as well as uplifting.

 

Part of Christian jewelry is Christian necklaces and religious necklaces. There are Christian rings, christian earrings, cross jewelry and the list could keep on going. We will narrow down Christian jewelry to religious necklaces and Christian necklaces.

 

The religious necklace in this collection is of a Christian variety.  The religious necklace can also refer to non Christian necklaces which is why we need to specify. The Christian themed religious necklaces in this collection range from traditional Christian themes to very unique Christian necklaces.

Om Jewelry And Yoga

Om Jewelry And Yoga

 

What do Om jewelry and Yoga have in common? They both come from the same origin which is the Hindu religion. The Om jewelry and Hindu jewelry collection we will look at is all made from sterling silver including the Hindu necklace and the Om pendant.

 

 

 

Back to the shared origins of Hinduism and yoga. For hundreds, if not thousands of years (excuse my lack of history) yoga was primarily something that occurred within the Hindu religion and culture. It wasn't until Hindu Monks like Swami Vivekananda brought yoga to the West in the late 19th century. In the 1980s, yoga became popular as a physical system of health exercises across the Western world. In a national survey, long-term yoga practitioners in the United States reported musculo–skeletal and mental health improvements.

 

 

 

Of all the Hindu jewelry the Om pendant or the Om necklace is the most popular with the yoga crowd because the sound "om" is the first sound in creation according to Hindu teachings. The silver Om necklace shown above is sold as an Om necklace and the pendant is sold separately as an Om pendant.

 

 

 

There are other types of Hindu jewelry and Hindu necklaces that are very artistic and do justice to the art world of Hinduism.

 

 

 

This is a small collection of Hindu jewelry but with the Hindu charms you can add them to charm bracelets and you can also make Hindu necklaces.

 

 

Practical Positive Affirmations

Practical Positive Affirmations

 

Positive affirmations are directly linked to positive self talk.  There are many types of positive affirmations. we are going to look at a quote that is inspirational positive affirmations.

 

Self talk is what we now call our thoughts and expressions we have in our mind. As we communicate with ourselves we tell ourselves things like "I can do it...’ or "I can’t do it." Whenever our brain is doing something and we respond to it, that is self talk. 

 

 

 

Affirmations are statements of truth. When read and mentally digested the affirmation then we input positive thoughts or positive affirmations into our brain and it has the possibility to affect change or good.

A man filled with the LOVE of God is not content with BLESSing his FAMILY alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to BLESS the whole human race. (Joseph Smith)

This blog is about cross necklaces but in truth, cross necklaces are just a part of Christian jewelry which is inspired by Christianity and all it's  related Christian religions and there teachings.  These different cross necklaces can call to mind favorite Christian principles, doctrines and quotes.

 

 

 

Look at this passage from Luke 23:

Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. (from Luke 23)

 

 

 

Perhaps you wear a cross necklace to help you with being able to readily forgive everyone who crosses your path in needs of your forgiveness.

 

 

 

Bless my enemies, O Lord.
Even I bless them and do not curse them.
They, rather than I, have confessed my sins before the world.
They have punished me, whenever I have hesitated to punish myself.
They have tormented me, whenever I have tried to flee torments.
They have scolded me, whenever I have flattered myself.
They have spat upon me, whenever I have filled myself with arrogance.

(Prayer of St. Nicolai Velimirovich)

 

 

 

Perhaps with the inspirational quote from St Nicolai's prayer we can use sterling silver cross necklaces to wear as a reminder to ask the Lord to bless our enemies and seek for real humility. Cross necklaces can be used in so many ways as well as make a fashion statement.

 

 

 

Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love. (Martin Luther King, Jr.)

Celtic Jewelry

Celtic Jewelry

 

I ran across a Gaelic blessing I really liked. I'm not a historian but I know a little about the Celtic people and Irish people and the order in which they occurred. I also have run across the term Gaelic in my studies of Irish history which gets its start from the Celts.

 

 

So I looked a little more into the term "Gaelic" because it has a similar tone to it when I saw a "Gaelic blessing". The Celts were at one time a people who occupied a great deal of Europe. Then the Romans pushed the Celtics steadily westward until they settled into England, Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Mann.

 

 

 

As the Irish, Scottish and English cultures evolved they all were heavily influences by the original Celts.

 

 

 

The Gaelic people were the very first, as I understand it, of the Irish people. So without further adieu, here is that Gaelic Blessing that started all this mumbling:

 

Deep peace of the running wave to you,
Deep peace of the flowing air to you,
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you,
Deep peace of the shining stars to you,
Deep peace of the gentle night to you,
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you,
Deep peace of Christ, of Christ the light of the world to you,
Deep peace of Christ to you. (Gaelic blessing)

 

Let's take a look at Celtic jewelry and Irish jewelry and see how this nice blessing fit's into the culture of the Celts and Irish.

 

 

 

Although Celtic jewelry and Irish jewelry do have a religious component they also have many other types of symbols, some of which are religious in nature and others are just unique and fun.

 

These two Celtic knot jewelry necklaces are called trinity knot necklaces. The Celtic trinity necklace is a Celtic necklace with both regular meaning and religious meaning. The trinity knot is shaped in many different ways but always has a three corners. Each corner represents a member of the Holy Trinity.

 

The three-leaf clover necklace is one of the quintessential Irish symbols. Tradition has it that St. Patrick used the three-leaf clover to represents the Holy Trinity. One leaf for each in the Trinity. Irish jewelry is full of symbols that both represent the Irish culture and Irish religious ideas.
