WHAT GIFTS WILL CHRISTMAS BRING?

Posted on by

Beloved,

Merry Christmas! Have a blessed Day whatever you do and whoever you do it with. Even if you are alone physically, there are many blessed angels with you in Spirit. I will be alone on Christmas Day myself and I am grateful for the time to enjoy receiving the Gifts of the Magi in the quiet of my own home. The link is below.

Have you ever considered that you might receive the Gifts of the Magi? Well, you can. Panache Desai has three separate meditations on the gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh which are each about 30 minutes long. What an opportunity to take a few quiet moments for yourself and receive these gifts that are priceless.

Today, I went back in time within my memories isn’t that what Christmas is all about? 36 years ago, my first grandchild was born. I felt a different love than I have ever experienced before and I made a promise that I would help her experience the love she gave me. Each Christmas until my grandchild was 18 years of age, I would give her a Christmas ornament that reflected something important that happened in her life that year. I would have our picture taken as the ornament was placed by her on the tree. My vision was that when my grandchildren left home for the first time, they would have a small package of love to place in their new home whatever or wherever that was. Whether their new home was when they went away to college or to a new job or even to join in the military. The yearly pictures could be in an album and reflect the changes in them and also me on a progressive yearly basis. These ornaments and pictures would be a strong reminder of just how much they are loved and their fun and happy memories of growing up. This tradition would lessen the loneliness they might feel. They would be a little touch of home.

My oldest son, his wife and his three children are coming to visit on Christmas Eve day so I will have all his family together at one time. My youngest grandchild is now 7 years old and I am getting a strong urge to explain all of the above to her as I think she is old enough now to understand. Her brother 26 years old and sister 24 years old, will probably like the reminder of just how much they were and are also loved. Both sets of my grandparents had passed away before I was born, so I set a new precedent and tradition as I had no memory of being loved by grandparents.

These words carry the true Spirit of Christmas and it is a message to you from the angels much as the angels announced the birth of Jesus to the Magi.

Words of Wisdom from Abraham.

We would like you to reach the place where you’re not willing to listen to people criticize one another… where you take no satisfaction from somebody being wrong… where it matters to you so much that you feel good, that you are only willing to think positive things about people…you are only willing to look for positive aspects; you are only willing to look for solutions, and you are not willing to beat the drum of all of the problems of the world. —Abraham Excerpted from: Cincinnati, OH on September 22, 2004

Merry Christmas

Love and Light

MIRACLE RESCUES – ANIMAL OR HUMAN

Posted on by

Beloved,

Last Saturday, the day before Mother’s Day, a mother Canadian goose showed up on the beach with her 5 babies. She gave me pause as I wondered why she was alone and no other adult goose was with her. So I watched her for a while but duty called. I kept being pulled back to watch her more. She could walk but her walk with one leg was deliberate. Her babies did not huddle under her wing; they huddled together although she was next to them. Then I realized that she was standing on only one leg. So I kept watching all of them. The babies would be moving away from her but she would move her head and then they would all scurry back to be closer.

I have seen families of geese every year and in fact, last year two families of geese banded together and became four adults and 10 little ones. That was fascinating to watch them take care of their own but still be one whole family. But this mother had no one. Usually the other adults, and we have about 20 Canadian geese on this lake, stay on the periphery because the parents do not want them too close to their babies. BUT THEY ARE THERE.

On Mother’s Day she was back and still had her 5 babies and was still alone. I found her once where her babies where huddled near the water and she was close to them on one leg and had her head in her wing. She was taking a nap. I could not fathom the immensity of the role she was playing. Then I realized what a model she was especially for Mothers on Mother’s Day. Here was a handicapped mother with 5 babies to take care of. Can you imagine if that was you? What a symbol for Mother’s Day.

During the week, she was back and another adult was with her but not too close, it looked like she was ignoring him. I have heard that they mate for life so perhaps she was not ready for another partner. This morning, my heart leapt. She was back with still ALL 5 babies and two other adults who had 3 babies. She now has an extended family to help her keep an eye out for any danger. One of my neighbors was throwing rocks near them to make a big splash so they would go out onto the lake. I found myself watching again. They all went a ways out onto the water but all 3 adults turned and faced my neighbor and let it be known with their vocal honks that they were not going anywhere. When they are threatened, they try to put on a brave front like saying: You can’t make me go; I will go when I please. When my neighbor turned and left, the geese just turned back and they went somewhere else on the lake. It is sad that they are not wanted but they make such a mess of the beach and even on the grass. Their poop is hard to rake up and it also makes a mess of the water and the beach. Have you found a way to keep geese away? If so, I would love to hear about it.

The beach that was in its purest and barest form is now being transformed for the upcoming season. Rocks have been delivered to help the boat launch be more stable and usable. The new sand has been delivered and is sitting on the beach waiting for the rototiller man to come and make it a smooth and soft beach again. Some kids are having a ball before this happens by digging in the pure sand and running up and sliding down and being kids with a pile of sand. The dock is not out yet but is waiting patiently to be put together to serve the boats and some fishermen. Plans are made to put the raft out into the water so the kids can swim out and then jump off. The beach is getting ready for the influx of people who are waiting eagerly for it to get warmer so they can play. It is fun to watch the changes.

I have been out in my kayak but there are not many boats out yet. A stray one once in a while yet most are the smaller canoes or kayaks. In fact, they are not actually in the water yet and most docks are not out yet. I have the whole lake to myself (except for the geese and ducks. This is the time of year that I can closer to the shore in the coves because the water lilies have not grown and taken over. Since the leaves on the trees are just beginning to come out, I have views of the houses that are usually hidden behind the trees. The whole lake has a different feel to it. I think that is what makes it so exciting to live so close to the water. The hummingbirds are here and so are the Baltimore Orioles. Usually only the cat birds and the Baltimore Orioles eat the grape jelly but a new animal has been added. I had to move the feeders around because the squirrels were cleaning out all my jelly before the birds could get to it. I even noticed a golden finch trying the jelly but only once, it seems to prefer its seed, thank god. Enjoy this Spring warming up where ever you are celebrating it.

Since I made so much of Mother’s Day models, I thought you would like to see these never die models.

It is not only animals that find themselves alone, people do also. Whatever is the reason for your loneliness, this message may uplift your heart and your reality.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL HUMANS

Posted on by

Beloved,

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! To all of the caretakers who are surrogates of the Divine Mother Energy, blessings to you. This is a day to honor the LOVE that is held in a mothers heart whether it is in a single dad’s heart, in the armed forces, in a teacher, a crossing guard, a judge, a parole officer, foster parents, etc., etc., etc. I HONOR YOU.

From the time I was able to think of my future, I only wanted to be a mother. When I was five and my brother was born or when I was a teenager envisioning my future, I knew without a doubt that my mission was to be a mother. I was so sure of that fact that I never even considered if I would physically be able to have a child. There are many females who are mothers because of their love and care of children that were not born of them. I married at 17 and became a mother shortly after I turned 18. Didn’t we feel adult at that age, so cocky sure of ourselves and our lives? What an awakening I had when my son was born and put in my arms.

In fact, I asked my first born son, Steve if he would come with me to lunch as I wanted to celebrate a 60th anniversary. He was confused and asked why. I said:” 60 years ago today, I became a mother for the first time and I want to celebrate that fact. You opened me to a love that I never knew existed and I still feel that unconditional love today and the moment that it happened.” I love my daughter and my younger son as much as I do my eldest son but he was the very first experience I had of such a deep love and totally unconditional. Where would this world be without the experience of such a love? Would anyone know it existed or that it was possible?

The book I wrote: “The Wounded Chalice” is a book about the sanctity of the human womb which is the only organ that can sustain a human life from conception. When a hysterectomy was called for, I told the doctors that I would not have the surgery unless they returned my uterus to me so that I could honor my children’s first home, the haven that protected them when I could not and who knew them before I did. After some heated discussions, I won out and my three children were with me the day I buried it so they could honor the part of my body that allowed them to have life. At the time I made the decision, it felt right to do it. Yet the day (Thanksgiving) I told my children what I had done and asked them to be alongside me, I had an awareness of how unusual my request had been.

I have borne three children, two boys and a girl. My oldest son, Steve has three children, my daughter, Debra has one daughter who in turn has my great grandson, Morgan and my youngest son, Bruce has no children yet he inherited my heart for mothering others. Humanity, wake up and smell the roses. We are one species on one planet and we are gifted with the heart that has the ability to feel unconditional love. Wouldn’t you like to feel that emotion all the time? It is possible and also probable. Look around and you will see that Love abounds all around you. The media does not show as much love as there is out there because it does not sell. They think that only horror makes headlines and money because that is what we are tuning into. Will you join me as we show this whole planet what being human really means?

I want to share this in honor of Mother’s Day. Most of us are not aware that there is such a vehicle but it gives you the ability to leave a message to your loved ones that will last long after you are gone. My younger son, Bruce interviewed me for what I had to say and I now have a CD that can be passed down to my family. Mine was done before the smart phone. Check this out.

Moms, in some shape or form, contribute to who we become. With Mother’s Day right around the corner, don’t forget to take time to appreciate a mom by simply listening to her story.

Get inspired! Sit down with your mom to watch this short, heartfelt animation of Kay Wang’s interview with her son and granddaughter. Whether she’s a hard worker, sarcastic soul or just an amazing woman… You’ll be happy that we reminded you to listen. https://storycorps.org/animation/no-more-questions/

I was so impressed by these young men. What if they had not been born? I love technology even as I struggle with it but I am always amazed by the human brain that comes up with these inventions. A computer cannot compete with our brain; it just makes our inventions more plausible.

Would you say that this male waiter has a mother’s love? See, it is all around us. Take the opportunity to look around and see it.
