GUARDIANSHIP, UNCONTROLLABLE LAUGHTER

Posted on by

Beloved,

Hooray, the sun is out and is so beautiful, it just lifts my heart.
My lake had gone down some, exposing the dock again which had been
enveloped by the high water table. Then it began to rain again
which swelled the water table back up again. I was on the phone
this morning and said to the person that I was so happy that it
finally stopped raining and she said how her children were so happy
it rained when they were visiting some friends as they got to run
around in the rain and enjoyed it so much. Guess where she lives?
Yep, you guessed it. Arizona! It goes to show it is only a matter
of perspective. Sometimes abundance in any form gets to be pretty
boring. I guess we humans like to have change to stimulate our
gratitude as we can quickly take what and who we love for granted.

I am not sure if I have mentioned about the Canadian geese that are
here for 9 months out of the year. They are beautiful creatures but
they have one trait that is not desirable. They poop all over the
beach which is not conducive to cleanliness as the children play in
the sand and everyone needs to walk on it in order to enjoy the
water. We also need to get the water tested per the Health Department
regularly to check for any bacteria that would be detrimental to
human health. The geese excrement has caused shutdowns because
of the high level of bacteria. Since I am the the one closest to
the beach, I label myself the goose patrol but I am not here all the
time and I swear they know when I am gone because when I return and
they see my car coming down the street they vamoose.

I would like to relate something about the geese that I never realized
before, in fact, I never knew it until this year. The eggs have
hatched and the little goslings are growing rapidly. Usually the
parents are very protective and will not allow another goose to come
too close to their family. This year there are two families of geese.
One pair had 7 babies and a couple of weeks later another pair had
3 babies. The two families would hang around together which I thought
was unusual and then one morning I woke up to find only three adults
and 10 babies. I cannot tell which of the geese are the male or
female, all I know is that the parents of the 7 babies was allowing
the single parent of 3 to still hang around with their family.

That was not the usual way that they would behave. Yesterday, I
noticed the families and I was counting the babies to see how many
survived and all I could see where the older 7 and yet there were
3 adults???? I got my binoculars out to see what was going on and
my heart leapt. The three younger goslings were each closely knit
to an older gosling so I could not really see them until I looked
through the binoculars. It was like the 7 older goslings decided to
take the 3 younger goslings under their wings, so to speak, and were
protecting them. What a beautiful sight to behold. In the 17 years I
have been here, I have never seen the geese act like this. Is this
an omen that if the geese can do it, then humans will do it? Imagine
a world where the older children would take the younger ones under
their wings and protect them rather than bullying them and a single
parent would be adopted by a couple. That would be heaven would it
not?

Here is a story of an older human taking care of a younger one and
it is heart warming to see.

We all watch television and it is a great educational tool but this
story hit home about how little I know. I live on a lake and I
was never aware that someone drowning would not be flailing about or
yelling for help. Would you know how to tell? The way to tell is
so contrary to what I believed. I figured if I did not know how then
perhaps you don’t know how either. Perhaps you and I could save a
life just by watching this video and I know being on a lake, I feel
more responsibility to know how. My heart goes out to a parent that
does not realize their child is in trouble even when they are close
by.

QUESTIONING THE RESULTS OF YOUR DECISIONS

Posted on by

Beloved,

I have been sitting here at the computer most of the day. I have
been listening to replays of teleconferences that usually inspire or
make me feel a whole lot better. I have been struggling with what
to write to you in this newsletter because I like to send you items
or news that lift your heart after giving you a little food for
thought.

Today has been such that I did not wish to speak to anyone, call
anyone, or have any interaction with anyone. Did I like it? No!!!
It is like I am frozen and it is such an effort to talk. I do not
wish to even think or consider anything at all. It is too much of
an effort. I feel like a bump on a log that does nothing but stay
still. This is a very unusual mood for me. I even went back to bed
and slept for two more hours this morning.

I had quite an awakening or should I say an AHA moment of a pattern
that I suddenly realize I have been dealing with my whole life. It
concerns loved ones who have lied to me but their excuse is: “I didn’t
lie, I just didn’t tell you the whole truth”. I have made decisions
based on the information which did not turn out the way I had hoped.
Of course, I wouldn’t be who I am now if I had not experienced the
disappointments and results of those lies. In my soul, I know that
I agreed to these before I was born YET it does not make them any
easier to bear.

I believe that I went on a journey deep inside myself today to
rationally and lovingly forgive everyone and also to forgive myself
for allowing these betrayals. I am much harder on myself than I am
on those I love, why is that? Do I not deserve to give myself as
much love as I give to others? Of course, I do but I seem to need
reminders every now and then. Sometimes I wonder if I have been
alone these past 23 years because I have not had the courage to
trust again. And yet…..we give our trust to many every day of
our life. From the safety of the food we eat to the other drivers
ion the road.

As you can see, I am very pensive and my thoughts are very deep.
I am going to add a “Heavenletter” to this newsletter which might
explain what I am trying to say through my fog today. These are the
times of deep reflection and everything that has not been released
is being brought to the surface for the final release.

God is always bringing us closer to Him.

Heavenletter #4565 A New Picture, May 25, 2013

God said:
There is a theory that everything that is written, that everything
that happens was destined to happen. Sometimes it certainly seems
this way. Not always, but sometimes, sometimes often, it appears
that two people, for instance, were fated to meet and marry,
whether the marriage works out or not. We have talked about this
before, Destiny vs. Free Will. Perhaps Free Will is your
Destiny, or Destiny is your Free Will.

Be that as it may, there is some value in thinking that what is past
was destined. Whether what happened is to your credit or to your dismay,
there is value in thinking that it was destined. Thinking that it was
destined will save you a lot of woe. Thinking that all the past was
destined makes you face the fact, without discussion, that there is
nothing you can do about it now. The concept of Destiny may keep you
out of the trap of ruing, regretting, crying about the past. The
idea of Destiny may get it through your head that there is no point
in crying over spilt milk. There is not a better way to say this
than crying over spilled milk?

How much of your time on Earth have you spent in regret and trying to
relive and remake the past? How much time have you spent carting the
past around with you when you could have gotten on with your life?
How much time have you wasted in wishing you could go back in time
and erase what passed and do it over and make it new? How you have
wanted to undo the past and say something else or say nothing or to
speak up when you had been silent?

In a way, you are a writer of your life. Unlike a writer, you can’t
rewrite. You can’t cross out.

In a way, every day you write a chapter. And when the day is over,
that particular chapter is finished. That chapter is closed. It has
to be left as it is.

Now there is something else, however. Although it makes great sense
to leave a past chapter alone, and I recommend wholeheartedly that
you not turn back, there also can be value in revisiting a chapter
that is over. Can you guess what this possible advantage of going
over an unchangeable chapter could be?

What I think of is that you may see the exact same chapter in a
different way. What you were convinced was a mistake may in a later
re-reading seem not like a mistake at all but just right. The chapter
is the same, yet you see it with new eyes. Upon this second reading,
you may not seem to be the oaf you had thought you were. Is this not
a good thing? You are not spending time agonizing over the past.
Rather, you are seeing the past in a new light! You digest it
differently, and that is all the difference in the world.

So, what if you could have the idea that not only is the past finis,
to it.

Beloveds, every chapter that is written, no matter how homely, how
winsome, how troublesome, led you to where you are today. With this
realization, would you then be so quick to knock it? A particular
chapter may have been a broken step, one you wished you had skipped,
but what if, no matter what, it was a good step because it led you
to where you are today?

Are you not indeed in a good place when My words are before you today
and you are reading them and letting them become part of you?

IS THERE A CHILD IN YOU?

Posted on by

Beloved,

We are having a summer heat wave with over 90 degree temperature and
muggy as all get out. This year has been true for the phrase that
we Northeasters say: “If you don’t like the weather, just wait a
while, it will change”. We have gone from 45 degrees to over
90 degrees in just a couple of days. What would we talk about if
the weather did not exist? It transcends each stranger into someone
who understands exactly what you are talking about.

Yesterday, The Wales Senior Center gave a prom to all who wished
to come. It was from 4PM to 6:30PM with finger sandwiches, cake and
drinks.

I thought my little girl was quite grown up but she appeared suddenly
when I was trying to figure out what to wear. The word out was that
some people would “dress” and some wouldn’t. I spent most of the
morning going through my closet and pulled out 7 different outfits.
(you women will understand but the men won’t) I tried them all on
put some away and had three left to choose from. One was extremely
dressy and chic with long skirt and jacket with inset sparkles, very
elegant. The next one was a long shift with a beautiful short
jacket that had small pearls embroidered on it. The third was a long
multicolored skirt, light colors with (of course) lavender in it and
a short sleeve lavender blouse with a light off white sweater with
some light lavender flowers in a few places.

Since this was the first prom the center has given and it is the first
one I ever went to, my little girl was feeling confused, not as good
as the others, shy, and totally unprepared for the event. I even
considered not going because of all the emotions coming up for me
even though I had signed up. My graduating class from high school
had all the senior privileges revoked because the boys refused to
participate in a centennial play which was because we were the
100th graduating class.

I did not have a partner to attend this prom yesterday so I
pondered whether to dress warm or cool. If I wasn’t dancing, it
would be cool and if I was, then I would be warm. I wanted to be me
and yet I wanted to feel festive. Do you remember when you were a
teenager and the girls sat on one side of the gym and the boys sat
on the other side? Since both sexes were too shy to ask, the girls
usually ended up dancing with each other except for the waltzes.

I could not believe all the emotions that came up that I thought
I was all done with. I felt as insecure as a teenager and this
was a dance for seniors. I finally got dressed as I picked the
last ensemble I had set aside and decided to put my hair up off
my neck rather than down.

You can tell we are seniors as most of us got there a half hour
early. They had a six piece band with a singer and played music
for ballroom dancing. A man and a woman were there as instructors
so we had a half hour lesson to learn to do the swing. Of course,
as usual there were more women than men but the woman instructor could
do either so she was there for the women to dance with. They were
very good at getting us up on the dance floor and they stayed the
entire time and they focused on us singles so we would all get the
chance to dance.

I was not sure of my knee(they want to do a knee replacement)and
how it would work as I can walk but cannot GO for a walk as it is
too painful. I took ballroom dancing lessons 23 years ago (has it
been that long already)and had a friend who was my partner and we
danced for 6 months which was the happiest time of my life. It
happened during my dark night of the soul so I believe he was an
angel sent to help me through it with the magic of dancing.
I just looove to dance.

What a pleasure it was to ballroom dance with the instructors. I
felt like Cinderella dancing at the ball. By the way, Cinderella
is my favorite fairy tale. I believe in miracles, the impossible,
do you? Also remember she had a fairy GODmother which we all have
as we all have a Mother/Father God don’t we?

The time floated by, I got many compliments on my dancing and my
knee did not hurt anymore than it did normally. I wondered why and
my son, Bruce says it it probably because you dance on your toes more
in ballroom dancing, especially the women. I could not have the food
they offered as I need to be gluten free but I brought my own food
which was permitted. I made myself some fresh crab leg salad and
put it on rice cakes and I brought a piece of this delectable cake
that I had been given by the chef who has Celiac at my favorite
restaurant. I happened to go there for a gluten Free house burger,
(to die for) and it was his birthday so he insisted I take home some
of his birthday cake. I felt so spoiled and so ecstatic.
And guess what was in my email box? The following story and video
of being stood up for her prom. It brought back a lot of memories
and it had a happy ending just like Cinderella. How many memories
does this bring up for you?

http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/family-life/great-kids/girl-meets-prom-night-prince-at-burger-joint.html

I believe that each of us have these feelings of less than, or not
being enough either in looks or clothes or personality. As we age,
we generally get more confidence in ourselves but every now and then,
the child in us appears and all it needs is love and understanding.
Hopefully we gain more courage of our convictions and the ability
to show WHO we are and BE who we are which the following video
exemplifies. Enjoy!

http://www.flixxy.com/the-johnson-brothers-sing-the-impossible-dream-at-britains-got-talent.htm

I wish for you some times when you feel so complete and ecstatic
that you know there is a GODMOTHER/FATHER just for you. All you
need do is believe in so called magic(but we know better as it is
simply love) and feel the LOVE that is being given to you in a myriad
of ways. Magic does happen when the little one is us says YES to it
and the older one allows it to happen.

Love and Light
