USE YOUR LIGHT TO TOUCH OTHERS

Beloved,

People ask why I don’t have air conditioning. I can find all kinds
of excuses but excuses are moot, we can all make them up very easily.
One of the biggest reasons is that usually we do not have as many
heat waves as this summer has presented. Yet, in my heart, I know
I would not go swimming in the lake unless I was really hot. If my
body is cool, I don’t need the water to cool me and once I get my
hair wet, I need to let it dry naturally which is a couple of hours
or it doesn’t look right. My lake water is so clean that I do not
need to wash my hair afterwards, my hair is clean and soft. Well,
this summer I have had many opportunities to go in the water, some-
times 2 and 3 times a day. I feel so good in the water that I can’t
understand why I do not go in often every day. For one, it is the
first chill when the water gets up to your waist. BRRR! When it is
this hot, the water is like bath water until you get much deeper. If
the temperature stays hot at night then the water does not cool down.

I don’t know if you know that I changed my name, both names. After
my second divorce, I called out to Jesus and said I want my OWN NAME.
I want to be ME!. So Jesus gave me the name Grace so I became
Helen Grace. I was thrilled, I didn’t even mind all the records
that I had to change. I felt like I was finally me. Two years
later, Mother Mary asked me to carry her name and I need to admit
I did not want to. Your first name, for a female, signifies more
of who you are than your last name. After three weeks of praying
and meditating, I finally decided that if I could not refuse Jesus
how could I refuse his Mother?

Of course, this was before I knew my future. We only take one step
at a time so we don’t know what the future will hold or specifically
why we are called to do a certain action. Twice today, I have been
asked about my name and as I was considering what to write you today.
I came across this article which I am including. During this week
I had an AHA moment when I suddenly realized that “Helen” was feeling
neglected and had questions for me. Has this ever happened to you
when an aspect of you or a past you like your inner child comes
to you? It is an eerie feeling but I felt honored that she felt
safe to correspond with me so I dedicated some time to “feeling”
her and responding to her feelings of inadequacy. She was sad
that I had felt that I needed to be someone else and had questions
as to why I did it. I told her that she was definitely still ME
but that Mary Grace was an aspect of me also. Perhaps like my
higher self or a larger “whole” of me that I was before I came to
Earth to be a human. She eventually felt loved and I told her that
she was still a big part of me and was with me no matter how I
evolved into another dimension. This article says it much better
that I could articulate so I will end with it so your memories
will come up for you also.

PARENTAL LOVE ON DISPLAY

Beloved,

We all know that our world is having a severe weather problem. Where
I live we have had the 2nd wettest June in History. The heat waves
not only last a couple of days but 5 and 6 days long and it rains
every day. I have never EVER said this before but I actually said I
wish summer would go away because it was so HOT and MUGGY and hard
to breathe. The fact that I don’t have an air conditioner (my choice)
made it even more difficult. I even went shopping for an air
conditioner but there were no more left. I would jump in the lake
2 & 3 times a day just to get my body temperature down.

It was quite difficult on the animals, my birds in particular. You
know I feed grape jelly to the Baltimore Orioles which they love.
I left my step stool outside because I had to fill the feeders twice
a day because I only gave them two tablespoons of jelly at a time as
the rain would wash the jelly away and I could never tell when it
was going to rain because the rain came suddenly like a thunderstorm
does. I need the stool to feed both the orioles and the hummingbirds.
Even my son mentioned to me questioning why I kept my step stool
outside, I had never done that before. I only need to clean and
do the hummingbird feeders every 5-6 days so I usually keep the stool
in the garage. In order for the Orioles to feed and have food for
their babies, I was out there at least twice a day putting jelly out.

I am mentioning this because it has been such an unusual summer and
even the birds at my feeders have changed. I could not believe my
eyes when a “young” Flicker woodpecker came and ate the jelly. He or
she was there every day and suddenly the Father of the youngster was
eating the jelly also. He was saying:”Son, I never knew this was
here and it is so good”. He usually eats at the feeder that has the
sunflower seeds. We seniors can always learn something from our
younguns. Because of the grape jelly I have Catbirds coming to my
feeders also and they also feed their young the jelly. Yesterday as
I was doing dishes, I noticed a large orange shaded butterfly at the
jelly also????? I get the hornets every year but this year I am
inundated with honey bees. I wonder if their honey will taste like
grapes? The bees and the hornets are a signal to me that the birds
will be migrating soon. The baby Orioles are coming to the feeders
and I even saw a parent give a young one an insect?, it looked like
it had a tan wing in its mouth before giving it to the young one. I
had never seen that before either. The young Orioles are growing
quickly so I know their time with me is limited now. Sigh.

Feeding birds really gives me an insight into family life. Both
parents pitch in to help and no adult bird will pick on a young
one at the feeder. The young ones are allowed freedom to be curious
and feed when they want regardless of any other bird at the feeder.
They know no fear so they do not react when another bird comes close.
In this vein of thought, I give you a link that emphasizes the love
of parents for their children.

Why not love yourself as you love your child or any beloved?
Can we oldsters learn from this youngster?

Have you ever wondered why we act the way we do? Are we responsible
for someone else feeling good? Would you like to know how you can
and just how easy it is? Check this out.

I hope you enjoyed these videos? LOVE does make the world go round.
SOOOO LOVE yourself and others shamelessly.

Guess where I am going now? Blueberry picking! Just up the street
from me is a small farm run by young parents of two children. They
have blueberry bushes that NEVER get sprayed so they are organic.
It was just last year that I decided to buy some from them and they
are the sweetest and biggest blueberries I have ever had. I have
not been blueberry picking since I was around 10 years old so I
am going to give it a try. I’ll think of you as I eat them right
from the bush. Have a wonderful day and week.

Love and Light

CAN YOU ALLOW ONE CHANGE?

Beloved,

I hope you had a wonderful and marvelous 4th of July. Did you get
to watch the fireworks? My daughter-in-law and my granddaughter and
her little friend came over around suppertime. The little girls,
4 years old, hard so much fun playing in the sand, making sandcastles
and then smashing them and then going into the lake to rinse off
and play in the water. The people around the lake compete in lighting
off their fireworks so the little ones kept squealing with delight as
each one went off. Can those little girls yell, it was such fun
to watch them see their very first fireworks.

Today was 95 degrees here at the lake so it must have been much
hotter at other places as it is usually 5 degrees cooler here than
anywhere else. That is great in the summer but not so much fun in
the winter. It all washes out and all things even out eventually.

A lot of people are having a 4 day weekend this holiday, hooray for
them. Yet I spoke to a person who was only having one day off and
she was thrilled with just that one day. One thing we can be
certain of is that there will always be change. Perhaps one day
we will go back to celebrating holidays with the whole family like
we used to. The world as they knew it was shut off for Holidays
and Sundays and they could forget the world and just enjoy their
family and sharing with their friends. I believe that will come
back again as we start to value our families more than shopping
and spending our money. If we are shopping than someone needs to
work in order for us to be served.

Check out this video. It had me mesmerized and when you see the
audience you will see them being very still. Enjoy. This little video is wonderful. It is a great example of the difference a slight change
can make in your life. Even a change that seems as small as the weight of a feather can clear away all that went before it and
wipe the slate clean for a totally new possibility. Perhaps consider
changing one small belief, expectation or concern and notice how all
of life responds!
