Have you heard the espression: WHAT YOU RESIST PERSISTS!
Well, I am trying real hard not to resist the opportunities that
all this snow presents to me. I am laughing now as I realize
that as I write the above sentence that I am resisting resisting.
What a paradox?
Since I last wrote you about the 3 and a half feet of snow my
town received last week, we have had two more storms and
one with the dreaded ice that coated everything. The schools
were closed as well as town offices but guess who was not
closed? Surprise….The Post Office. I had one friend tell
me that she did not know how she was going to get out of
her house when all of sudden the Postman showed up and
asked if she had a shovel. He shoveled her sidewalk and
steps. That is above the call of duty.
That is one thing I am grateful for, the concern that is given
to others when a storm of any kind shows up and things are
out of the norm. Aren’t people wonderful?
Another thing that snow reminds me of is the people
in the world who are having a real tough time right now.
The homeless especially but how about the people who
do not have money for food, books or medicine for their
spouse or children? Would you like to help banish
hunger, breast cancer, child health, literacy, the rainforest,
animal rescue with just a click of your mouse?
http://www.thehungersite.com is a website that offers all
of these opportunities. Sponsors offer to help all these
people whenever you click. Each click is counted and
goes toward the sponsor’s donation. You can help
people all over the world and it takes just a minute
of your time. They will send you a reminder if you
ask them to. I search for that email the first thing
in the morning so I can click before I forget.
Since all I can think of is snow and that is all I see out my
window as I sit here writing to you, I will not bore you any
further with “snow” stories.
I want to share a special HeavenLetter with you. Know
that you are THAT STAR and THAT SPECIAL.
HEAVEN #3703 Your Star in the Sky, January 14, 2011
God said:
There are two ways to take life. One is very seriously, and
the other is without attachment. I bet you never thought of the
opposite of serious as without attachment. That’s what taking
life seriously is about however – attachment to it. That is when
life becomes very serious, all serious. Perhaps another way to
say seriously is to say tensely. Holding onto an idea of what life
must be and what it must look like is attachment, and bound to
bring tension.
Life does not have to be like a wild safari fraught with danger.
Life can be a ride up and down the river of life. It can even be
paddling in a canoe, or sailing on a paper sail boat. It can be a
whistle while you walk in the park of life where there is much
mingling and activity, yet still the walk an amble.
Adapt an ambience to life. Give life all you’ve got at the same
time as you let it be, waterfalls and changing weather, and varied
terrains. As you walk through life, you don’t race. You don’t drag
your feet. And when you stumble, you simply set off again on this
blessed unknown journey.
Have you had the idea that the journey you are on must be
proscribed? The journey you are on is the journey you are on.
It is a unique never traveled before journey, and it is yours.
It is no one else’s. It is yours. It is bound to have surprises
and unknown turns. Life cannot be known until the moment
it appears. You are a traveler on the road of life, and yet you
are not a wayward traveler. You are on the journey you set
out for. Regardless of its twists and turns, you are on your journey
.
You don’t have all the say of it. There are too many factors in
this life on Earth for you to have a designated map. However,
at any turn in the road, life can change in a flash, and you can
decide much of the turn. You can welcome life, or block it, or
fuss about etc. to whichever degree you choose. You have been
doing that right along, and now, today, you can welcome what
life offers you. You can lean in the direction you want to go.
It is not necessarily that you are exactly ready for all that life holds,
yet you can welcome the known and the unknown just the same.
Are not the known and unknown the elements that make up life?
It is as if you have two reins in your hand, and you do not hold
on more tightly to one rein than you do the other. Hold the reins
lightly, beloveds. You and life can be affable. You can get along
good-naturedly.
Let go of resistance, and follow your star in the sky. You have a
star. It is there. Even when you don’t know which star is yours,
it is there beckoning you. Certainly, your star could be any number
of bright sparkling stars, yet one is yours.
The stars are calling to your heart. Your star pulls you along
sometimes as if you were a sled, and sometimes your star lets
you race uphill and downhill. You have your own route.
Consider your star the energy of life that holds you firm and
also lets go of you. There is the Will of the Universe, and
there is your free will, and sooner or later the twain will meet.
You will enter into a divine route where only love exists and
you soar. It is inevitable that you come to this path and stay
on it. No longer do you vacillate. You will reach up to the
stars, and the stars will swing you as in an embrace, and
you will sail through the galaxies right to where you want
to be and always were before you got caught up in the
illusory changeable and forgot.
