HOPE, Easter’s promise

Happy, Happy Easter Everyone,

Can you tell this is my favorite Holyday, holiday? Of all the
reasons for celebration, Easter is my favorite.

It comes at a time of the year, at least here in Northeast, when
all things are in renewal. Our trees are budding, grass is
growing, birds are mating, lady bugs are appearing, etc.

Our sun is shining longer and for me, I am now just beginning
to see the sunsets which are such a treat for me to see over
the water and watching it from my deck or inside the house.

The birds are twittering again, such a joyful sound. The
turkey buzzards are cleaning up all the winters leftovers and
soaring high in the sky. Before I got my kayak, I used to ask
them to please take me up for a ride so I could enjoy the
water and freedom.

I think they were very happy when I got my kayak
because the very first time I got in, seven of them
appeared overhead and I swear I heard them chuckling
and breathing a sigh of relief.

I mentioned this to my oldest son who was a little
concerned about his mother going out on her own.
He said: Mom, they are just watching to see if you
are going to be their next meal”.

My son, ever the pragmatist, had me laughing.
I remember the look on his face as I took off,
I had told him I did this before on a vacation,
but I don’t think he believed me. The birds
knew and were here to give me a send off
and be happy for me with my new freedom.

As a mother, I don’t think I could have offered
my son for the sake of humanity as God did.
This fact gives me such HOPE as I know that
Mother/Father God would not allow their son
to die in vain.

Jesus, the Christ, came to show us that even when
things look the darkest as the events of Good Friday
represent, there is always an Easter. The sun (Son)
is always shining even if the clouds obscure it for
a time.

This is such a joyous occasion. Allow this day to
fill you with HOPE and confidence in your future.
We are so loved, Mother/Father God are watching
their children (us) learn to walk, fall down and get
back up again. We are like children learning ever
so much and with such enthusiasm for the simple
things in life.

Have you ever watched a child study nature in
awe and acceptance? Let us be like the children
we are. Loving all that is and looking forward to
the next adventure in life which we take for granted.

I would love to hear what was in your Easter Basket.
Go to my blog or send me an email.

Love and Light,

Mary Grace

PS. Another Angelic or Spiritual Intervention???

Hi,

I just had to share the newest development in
the angelic intervention that occurred with the
death of my son-in-law and my daughter’s refusal
to still not want any communication with me.

I keep being surprised by these events although
my faith and belief in angels and their help is constant.

Do you remember the story of how a “human angel”
appeared at the store when I was attempting to find
a sympathy card for my daughter that did not carry
any spiritual overtones whatsoever?

As I was returning from the store with the card,
I stopped at the Post Office to sign the card
and write out the envelope in order to mail it
so she would get it before the Memorial Service
that was planned to honor her husband.

They shared two homes, one here in Massachusetts
and one in New York. I had the two addresses so I
pulled out my address book and proceeded to write
the envelope to the address here in Massachusetts.

I did not put my return address on it as I did not want
the additional sorrow of having it returned to me in
case she refused it and wrote: “Return to sender.”

I knew that she would recognize my handwriting
and I addressed it to “Mrs. (his name) in honor of
their marriage. From now on she would be
receiving mail addressed to her only.

Through the grapevine, I found out that she had
not opened any cards she had received. Why, I
do not know. YET, she opened mine?????

Are the angels at work again, the Postal Angels?
I was so surprised and so grateful that she had
received the Love Energy I was sending her
before facing an extremely tough day emotionally.

My prayers had been answered in a most
unexpected way. I am chuckling as I am
writing this. My daughter received not only
my mother energy but the energy from the
angel who had infused her energy also into
the card she picked.

The one she received from me, she said, looked funny.
It seems I had addressed it to the Massacushetts
address but had put New York for the state and
then put the zip code for the Massachusetts one.

Divine Intervention? Spiritual Intervention?

I am so grateful and content that no wording
can describe it. I feel so much at peace, now.
Thank you for all of your consoling messages
and loving energy that you sent me during
a tough time in my life. I just had to share
this beautiful ending with you as you have
been on this journey with me.

Love and Light,

Mary Grace

HUMAN ANGEL APPEARS

I thank you so much for all the emails I received sending me
such loving energy and encouraging words. It really helped
me through a rough period (my previous newsletter).

I know “This too shall pass” and I say it often as I am playing
with a challenge that is presented to me for my attention.

I am feeling much better since I have allowed myself to cry and
allowed the tears to cleanse the pain I was feeling.

But….having understanding and loving support from my friends
helps me much more than the words I say to myself. In fact,
today I received this message from Neale Donald Walsh in the
daily message he sends to all who have signed up for it.

On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants
you to know……that sorrow makes us all children again,
destroys all differences of intellect.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said that, and he was right.

A good cry can be wonderful sometimes, and sadness
is nothing more than love announced. Sadness and
Unhappiness are not the same thing, and it is good
to remember that.

So if you’re sad…be glad. It says something about you.
And there are worse things. And there is this:
sadness cleanses the heart.

Love your friend,

Neale

How apropos!!!

I wanted to share the experience of finding just the
“right” card. I was in so much emotional pain that I
was not aware of the messenger who was right beside me.
It is only now on looking back that I recognize the
miracle of that encounter.

I was in the store looking for a Sympathy card for
my daughter who had just lost her husband and
with them being Atheists, I was having a hard time
finding a card that did not mention God, or angels,
or the next life or anything spiritual (none of which
they believe in).

Here I was looking for a card that was going against
her wishes to have no further contact with me and
I was stumped. My mother’s heart was crying but
it was not visible on the outside.

I circled all the card displays and could not find
anything that was appropriate. All of a sudden, a
woman appears and I mentioned the problem I was
having. She just reached over me and said:
“What about this one?”

I was shocked, it was perfect. Not only was it
perfect, it was purple. For those who do not know
me, I am known as the Purple Lady. I always
wear some shade of purple. Lavender is my favorite.

This card is lavender and is simple. It says only
“Memories” on front of the card when you open it says:
“Let them fill your mind,
warm your heart,
and lead you through.”

How perfect is that? I had hunted and never saw
it before this human angel pulled it out.

I thanked her and she just laughed. She said:
” I could not find mine but I found one for you.
Isn’t that the way life works? We can
help others easier than we can help ourselves.”

Then she simply left and I never saw her again.

Has that ever happened to you? You need something
and all of a sudden a person is there and your problem
is solved.

I call them my human angels because they show up
when I least expect them and when I need them
the most. I don’t remember asking but I must have
requested help from above unconsciously.

All I know is these angelic events make me chuckle
as they remind me that we always looked after even
when we don’t think so. Look for these angel
encounters because they happen to everyone but not
everyone is open to recognizing them.

Love and Light,

Mary Grace
