Time...... spelled backwards is 'emit'..... is 'time' something to be 'absorbed'..... never pursued? Coming to us.... targets of an emission?
Do we stand firm...hold fast to THE ROCK SOLIDITY of CHRIST.... even if we are deemed medieval anachronisms by those who champion the concept of time as a mathematical construct which finds fodder in the eventful past in order to launch into an uncharted, untravelled future?
This continuum of time is more or less unchallenged....but what does this perspective...conventional 'wisdom'.... make of the present....in which all of us are living of our individual lives?
Is it a logical thing to say....if time moves from the past into the future [as opposed to being absorbed into the present], the present is nothing but a moving point of no dimension...setting out the boundary between the two? Thus the present has no actuality.... it cannot be lived....all is becoming?
These seemingly bizarre selahs occurred for two weeks as my mother was in the final stage days/moments of earthly existence.... as I was cascaded with 6 decades of fond memories of her exquisite unconditional love and servanthood...... and,of course, I was exceedingly grateful for the memory-flood irrigating my heartscape and reminding me of the rich alluvial silt of her CAREess upon this child's life.... not for a moment did I feel any guilt or shame for such selah philosophical ponderings..... maybe the flux of life into death ...one's bedside witness of this final breakdown/breakthrough resurrectional burst...causes us to reflect upon the most startling and appalling things....it is a most tender...vulnerable....yet fruitful...opportunity....a crisis well-met and blessed in ways that surprise/shock us in ways not ever experienced before.....
All is be-coming.... all is a be-leaving..... anyway I digress....if the present existence has no real substance.... then is it easy to succumb to sacrificing one's 'chrysalis' moments to a bloodless, abstract future trying to sell us on some uhopia of a sprung-trap-lessness based on a scientific technological 'houdini-mojo' that will inevitably fail us?
I....and my two brothers..... were stripped of many sophisticated pretenses as we witnessed our mother's passing..... we were in NO virtual environment in which we were spared a transactional view/witness of reality in which we earthen vessels must be tangible bravehearts fighting the good fight of redeeming faith.
Thanks for listening to this medieval loon,eh....love,Ron

Yes very busy I be indeed.. Its funny my oldest Daughter is 24 and my newbie Son is two and a half months old..
I really dont look at it in any particular way other than its just life expressing itself. I dont try to define things too much I just gaze at things as if a virtual painting is being painted before my eyes each moment. This new guy is giving me a chance to just contemplate things so your post had a resonance with me. Your Mother transitions out and Judah transitions in. It is simple and yet so complex if you try to figure it all out. So I let it BE..
The Phils Ugh they lost to a brand oh well.. Yea its Eagles time I have a good time with it all but not too serious. Thanks for sharing take care and Love and Light as always..

Thanks,Shonda...Jonna.... it is good to be back..... and to be missed.... i honestly must confess that to be so lovingly regarded and cared for is a MAJOR source of vitality and enthusiasm that keeps my gratitude unto ABBA flowing freely and jubilantly.
My brother keeps on saying....'see you in the morning,Mom'..... we did not say the exact words..'good bye'...... and we were not physically present when she surrendered her last breath..... it is not easy to be in a continually physical bedside presence,especially in the hospital setting..... I have to believe,Jonna, that our uttered/thought 'good byes' afterwards are 'magical' in that they get through...spirit to spirit via SPIRIT...... in a way that joyously conquers all dimensional restraints that seem so impregnable and ungovernable normally.... memory.....is a vector...bridge.... over the troubled waters,sis, of any and all lingering regrets and self-condemning whispers/screams of 'failure'.....
"O Lord,
your word creates;
my words stumble after,
resonant, echoing,reflecting,
sharing small bits of power;
but finally they're too frail
to climb the sunlit heights
of my own resplendent life,
or walk its more barren plateaus,
or plumb its ugly, shadowed depths,
or even accurately form your name,
though i must use them, just the same,
to try'
as you have created me to do.
So hear me, "I will be what I will be,"
Lord, Jehovah, Yahweh, Elohim,
Christ,Father,Mother,Holy Spirit,
Alpha,Omega,One, God beyond God,
hear these words that stumble after
and would help me be with you.
This life your word has given me
is such a strange, yet common gift,
so fraught with twists and storms,
betrayals, mercies,inspirations,
revelations, hidden leaven
raising the daily to given bread.
There is pain in it,sometimes,
oft loneliness, riddles and enigmas,
wounds endured, inflicted
beyond the screaming of them, and terrors I can't name,
yes, and glories too,
seen, heard, felt,
borne, beyond all telling....
save by praise
my frail words cannot raise to heaven,
but fills a corner
of my heart.
O God,
by your word you take away,
as if you're creating by corrosion,
by the astringent acid of grace,
shrinking slowly, sometimes, always painfully,
those too believable illusions,
which are temptations in disguise,
that i could be more than i am....
mortal being not enough....
by virtue of hard work,
that ultimate of ethics
by which even you are measured,
and usually found wanting,
by the way,
since i, among the we,
want more mountains moved
and mysteries solved."
Ted Loder....ps...it is a longer poem and i will transcribe the rest later....love,Ron

Hi brother Ron...a kangaroo paw handshake and a koala bear hug....make that two. Thank you for sharing this moment out of time with us. It is comforting for me to know that nobody goes anywhere but further away from the illusion. Bless you and your family.

Thanks,Kerry..... yes, it is a most sacred time...the passing of one's loved ones...... though my brother lost his 18 month old daughter,Jade, in a home pool drowning..... i freely admit that was not seen as sacred..... yet it was....but tell that to Job!!!! when the tragedy is raw and overwhelming to the nth degree of pain and rage.
Now, when my father was dying over a long span of agonizingly slow time of lung cancer.... when his throat was grossly swollen and the voice-box squeezed tight and rendered inoperative..... he suddenly and MOST unexpectantly began to sing 'Jesus Loves Me'...... needless to say that grabbed the hearts of everyone within earshot the few times it occurred!!!! Talk about QUICKENING,eh!!!! So that was super-sacred..... the Spirit/spirit canticle of a conquering faith overcoming the final battle..... rendering death stingless.
I know you have similar sacred serendipities to share....love,Ron

Thanks,Gerry..... you have been a fine comrade over the years..... a treasured tasmanian tightrope walker who knows how to traverse the niagras of nuance.... by NOT getting needlessly discombobulated over the tyrannizing need to tilt against the windmills of duality... and yet still be quixotic when and where it is the season to be so.... as an aside, but nevertheless a good report matter....as I was away from home my dear wife had to empty the mouse traps..... thus becoming more-than-a-conqueror...hahaha.... and,yes, that is a sacred matter...overcoming fear!
Did Stephen make it over the waters to your enchanting isle for a visit?

yes Ron.....we had some good fellowship together. He loves Tasmania and reckons my place is paradise. My family even put up with his vegetarian deep frozen hamburgers which of course are a lot healthier than juicy Angus beef,,,,wink wink........
I might go to the mainland early next year and take my little 10 year old Leah to the zoo to visit her relatives.She wants to be a vegetarian and also a veterinarian because Stephen the bookworm gave her a beautiful book on animals.
Thank you also for your hand of fellowship and your kind comments.
love
Gerry

good morning ron...i believe your ponder on time is to ponder the expression of its duality...
there are those amongst us that "time kills" and the others that "kills time".....
you said:
Time...... spelled backwards is 'emit'..... is 'time' something to be 'absorbed'..... never pursued? Coming to us.... targets of an emission?
there are those (all of us) who are begat or YALAD in Hebrew. these have the proven lineage or pedigree of the test of time....and as those who came before and died they will as well.....
in the reversal of TIME to EMIT.....these are the ones who do not EMIT......
being crude one could identify these as light suckers, time suckers, blood suckers.....or life suckers....
these are those who have existence and keep life locked within.....
and we all begin here......
BUT.....
there are those who do accept the challenge to reverse time and emit.......
these are BORN as in firstborn.....of the root word ZARACH in Hebrew....meaning to irradiate or shoot forth beams.....
these are the EMITTERS.....
when in times long gone by in the time of the saurians all LIFE was locked in the EXISTENT ones and the dinosaur age went on and on....and time killed even them.....
then in the age of the mamilliams LIFE still remained locked and the age went on and on....and time killed even them......
we now are in the time of MAN......and a way has been made for LIFE to escape those of mere EXISTENCE......
and MAN has begun to KILL TIME.....
yes, man-kind still wanders around full of LIFE and unaware consuming all that he can touch......
but those who EMIT......will move TIME.....
the frequency caused by his EMISSIONS will counter the emissions of the consumers (world).....
the world screams it is the emissions of the consumer countries of the world that are our demise......
when in truth it is the emitters that will ...
"stand upon the sea and upon the earth"
"....and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever,.......that there should be time no longer:"
the time emitters are always giving that the time suckers can be BORN.....so that I AM is always BECOMING I AM.......
wind rider
ps: had to go in to my folks house the other evening because mom (80) could not get dad (85) ready for bed.....he has Alzheimer's plus was sick and she weighs about 90 lbs.....
had to lift him up in bed and attempt to convince him to take his meds for her.....and held him out of bed to have all his conditions checked by mom and wife......
6'1 1/2" man lost inside his body........with tears i rejoiced in the time when his release will BE....and grieved in the time that is.....
i feel you

Ahhhh, Gerry and Leah embarking on an excellent odyssey.... off the enchanted isle and into the Tasman Sea to mainland Oz..... zoo-bound pilgrims peregrinating past perimeters and peripheries and periphrases... ..... to engage both glance and stare with marsupials and reptiles and avianhood ... perhaps to visit the wizard of Melbourne, Stephanus Logos-simus, and be appetizingly advented into his vegetarian victual-scape.... his meatless melange of celluloid fibers and enhancing dips and garnishes..... his avuncular love for his friend and his daughter!!!!
Rog..... yes,bro, we ARE the retrieved 'coins' of CHRIST COMMONWEALTH who know the ever-growing joy and peace of SINGULARIZING duality..... LIFE no longer 'leaking' away... dissipating deLIGHT..... yet 'emitting'...'bleeding' LIGHT WHO casts all fears away..... rescuing those who are bruised and beaten sorely along jericho roads.... the prey of time-banditry.... those egregiously enervated by a 'grave' gravity of thralldom to time's finite assault and usurpation.....
We are called and empowered to 'bleed' SONlight..... in dark treasurescapes..... to be PERFECT photosynthesizers of LIGHT.... to emit the FULL COIN of CHRIST RICHNESS.... to be hilarious praisers of THE GOODNESS of ABBA as CHRIST heliotropes.
Thanks for sharing your parents with us,Rog..... such willingness to share with others the daily bread of the life/death continuum.... points to a 'communicable ease' that only a CHRIST-liberated heart can clarion forth as a 'bright messenger' on the jericho road...the 'crucifixion/resurrection' fall/rise tarmac of terrestrial existence.... my heart and prayerful support for you and your parents even now is germinating compassionately......much love,Ron

What a beautiful memory pic Ron!
Yes, there are many sacred serendipities that I could share as well, I know the confusion and the suffering that takes place when a loved one leaves this realm at such a young earth age. From unborn infant to young man and ages in between. It is a time of great turmoil and suffering and a feeling like one's innards are being ripped out. When one who's lived a full life has determined it is time for them to leave, it seems it is easier to bear and we are able to reason through it. Though this thing called 'time' does lift the acuteness of the pain, it none the less remains until such a time as we come to the place where we have the courage to ask and have the will to receive understanding. That time came when I was led to read 'Conversations with God', and without notice, there is an excerpt in there (can't remember if it is book 1, 2, or 3) about the Little Soul and the Sun (which I posted the excerpt on here a while back) that provided the in-sight and understanding in a way that I could receive. It was remembering that tiny little excerpt that got me through the events this past July. Sometimes we just grab on to something that might seem as though it was written for a child and hang on to it for dear life, it is the child in us that saves us. That little excerpt was my 'security blanket' from the moment I read it, and will continue to be until such a time as its not. It came straight from the ALL in all out of the unseen into the world of the seen for me, and I cherish it.
Warm hugs and handkerchiefs to help clear your sinus' are sent your way while Loves raindrops fall gently down your cheeks and you remember your time here with the one you called "Mom".
Kerry

This is a great knowledge stored in a poems.
It clearly explain where God's Dwell.

Yes it brings a tear even to a bleedin little aussie battler down under, but one knows each tear is placed as the Psalmist put it:"in Thy bottle"...and in another place he was so moved to say his tears were enough to swim in.
Yet we know each tear falls back into that inexhaustible Ocean of Life, albeit no matter how tremulous they fall...yes far more splendid than a million mundane pearls, a pearl beyond all price and beyond the reach of the deepest divers.
Yes the spark of her earthly light has gone, but now blazes brighter than a thousand suns in that great Empyrean of heaven.
This renunciation of finite life is a gift from the heavenly Father, a miracle performed by the knower of her heart, who has torn down her earthly habitation, cured the sickness of duality with the Tree of Life and built her an eternal habitation in heaven.....what can I say to the living who remain in the valley of the shadow of death......true LIVING is but a dying to this world, worse than dead is this corpse that walks in the shadow of the valley of death, for it has never known true eternal life.
Let us opiated stir our wings,let us stand on our fine steed the eternal WORD in US,who would carry us out of the circus of this world....... for this dream of death is but shirking the real task of life, which is dying to self, the flesh man, a continual stripping away, and so God blesses us in our old age, until when it is entirely gone we can enter through the gates of heaven which are without size and only the wholly vanished may enter, for the "things that are not seen are eternal." Yes the clinging smoke and incense of her life from the inscrutable and terrible at times that flame of Life within can be, is still here in your life but the glorious Flame of her life has passed over into that glorious Light...it's very Source. Just follow that sweet aroma mate hidden deep in your heart.

Emmanuelhadi you quoted Ron and will give some thoughts on that
Quote: Is it a logical thing to say....if time moves from the past into the future [as opposed to being absorbed into the present], the present is nothing but a moving point of no dimension...setting out the boundary between the two? Thus the present has no actuality.... it cannot be lived....all is becoming?
Space as we know it is three dimensions and time is supposedly the fourth but as a dimension there is no yardstick to measure it by, for time is psychological, it is the means of measuring the distance between two points but in our mind only and mind itself has no dimensions and mind is only present when there is a thought or an image, we can be thoughtless in the NOW, but the moment a thought comes we leapfrog over this NOW from the past to the future, thought cannot sustain the NOW, yet it comes out of the NOW.
Actually the NOW is eternal, there never was a time it was not or a time it will not be.The Past does not exist. Why? Because it is simply a chemical trail left in the brain cells, which retains what we experience. So the only existence the past has is the embedded in our brain. The Past then is simply a thought. Why then are we so influenced by memory? Why so afraid of this moment NOW without being conditioned by the Past and the fear of the future?
Let me state the past is gone, it is dead and unalterable and it cannot harm you, yet our greatest harm comes out of our past. It cannot control you, unless you want to relive it over and over. But it is a corpse you are trying to seize, worse than dead for it has never truly lived.Therefore the past is a mere shadow on the ground, it cannot harm you and as you know shadows are only a blockage of light, and this blockage is your own conditioning to believe that something in the past has to be redone or undone. Forget it mate................"let the dead bury the dead.'
So your "life is hid with Christ in God" that is your life NOW "as He IS so are we in this world" you are in the pure silence of the NOW and in the pure awareness of this freedom to know the past is nothing. To live truly and freely just let go of the past. Do not let thought become a shadow across the pure bliss of this NOW that knows nothing of the past or future to cloud it..try finding this awareness as a blinding light of joy that will lead you on out of this world of the past and future into His Glorious Kingdom where St. John says "time shall no longer be."
"The Present has no extension but intensity" Anagarika Govinda
The present has no duration,nor is it a fleeing moment, it is ETERNITY THAT IS ALWAYS NOW therefore it has no existence in this world of space time. It is not horizontal, but rather only a point of contact in time's apparent seriality. The extension of the present moment is just a measurement in space time, like a right angle it intersects with the seriality of time, and this direction is within the fourth dimension the "Kingdom of Heaven is WITHIN" hence I also use the pen name 'inseeing'.Please remember we are using a finite language here to explain what is infinite...these things are only intuitively known.

Thanks, Stephen..... for sharing yer sweet tear-water with yer Canuck comrade...... we circus-escapees not only get to face our inner leper but also to kiss him/her.... and in doing so,as Linda says, we know the the release of corked bottles and the flushing flow of hallelujah-retarding sediments..... the pic of my mother causes me to holdfast to Jer 12:5!
Emmanuelhadi..... zero/inseeing/Stephen gives you a perspective on 'time' that is liberating and guiding....helping us to flow freely in ABBA's ALPHA-OMEGA RIVER OF LIFE.... unencumbered by thoughts anchoring us to fixation of time..... for me, it is not that 'time' is eliminated or we are made to disregard it, but more knowing how/when/why/where we, like Rahab of Jericho, are totally aware of being guided safely through the fires/floods of earthly existence by the 'scarlet CHRIST thread'...... and each time we KNOW this salvation/resurrection thrust of GRACE we launch deeper into faith in ABBA and lose ourselves as we hide in CHRIST yet are seen and known as plain as daily LIFE BREAD prophetically presented ...cast upon the waters....fetid waters even in brutal babylon..... always providing clear pure LIFE WATER to the bitter sour Marah pools of stagnancy.
Perhaps,'time' is considered differently by those who are 'ascenders' and those who are 'descenders'.... and those who are a balance of ascender/descender..... mankind has been led through evolutionary epochs..... 'stations of the wilderness-crossing'... and we are, as long as we dwell in earthen vessels in this world-terrarium, given clarity of understanding in knowing the journey's jewel-points of instruction.... and,of course, this also can be microcosmically taught in our personal histories.
Much love and faith in Christ in us...Ron

Yes Ron the site of your beloved mother high on her sturdy stead, still brings a tear to my eye, yet she went forth like Sarah and brought forth the fleetest of the fleet and now rides on in you in the heavenly beatitudes of your metaphors, she will never leave you or forsake you all the days of your life which are eternal, her sweet caresses still sweep the way before you, she is thy inmost soul that brought you forth, yet one hoof beat behind all of us rides the grim reaper on his pale horse.
The embers of her heart are a smoky cloud by day and a blazing fire at night just as the Most High God El Shaddai the many breasted One suckled Her own in the dry barren places....after leaving all the pale horses and their host drowned in the Red Sea of the first death.Salavtion represented by the Red Sea is thinking in acord with teh spiritual perception, instead of conformity to Egypt the material perspective.
The reign of this disorder and physical dissolution continues amongst all who have come out of Egypt until none remains but Joshua and Caleb, the two witnesses in the great City of this world's religion. Christ and the Holy Spirit that makes US One Body.The old cannot enter in....this is a new creation...the original and best Genesis Chapter One. As the ancients said the "end shall be as the beginning." The Bible starts with a rite out of the Garden and returns back to the Garden.
Yes in minutes any of us here could be gone, none of us are exempt. It is good to reflect in times like this on our own death, see one's own body become rigid, white as a ghost, then the flesh no longer clinging to the skeleton, held together only by tendons and finally a collection of bones for the sultry winds to scatter their dust to the four winds.
Why then do we identify with this "body of death?" Is not Deliverance of Romans 8 the end of all fleshly walk... NOW? It is our total commitment to this walking in the Spirit, that can no longer stomach that LAODICEAN nature of our own body and it's passions, greed egotism,and on reaching a Technicolor crescendo in some of us, we literally vomit right out of it's putrid existence, literally emitting all the contents of time and space we have stored as so much baggage in our guts! Yes we end time celebrants, have passed through all the successive stages of our life, and some are waking up to their full identity as "the fullness of Him who fills all things."
The reign of disorder and physical dissolution will continue among all personalities which have not outgrown the ADAMIC POINT OF VIEW."In Adam all die."
Who continually are "missing the mark" falling down out of ignorance from immaturity, yes to the dust man of Gen.2 this is all a mystery for he comes out of dust and back to dust he goes. Yes the Bible sketches the story of this "dust man" unable to sustain Eden, Adam marches East into the wilderness setting up his own garden of eden the kingdom of man fabricated not out of pliable indissoluble Spirit but of dense matter as hard as his Adamic ego-rib nature, a dream fallen into Adam never awakes from, and sleeps on in each until they "each in his own order" resurrect......and in his folly he calls this world he has made out of his own thoughts and images during the dream the Lord God[Universal Mind of Man] placed on him to be his reality.
O the Bible is a wonderful Book as Holy Spirit turns every page of the journey of this Adamic man.Sadly the occidental mind has congealed the poetic warmth and genius of the Eastern thought, rendering it superficially in harmonous, cast into a rigid materialistic mould by our translators. The whole of the Sacred Word from Genesis to Revelations is a Spiritual Mirror, and in that fact the moment you bring this mirror to your life, it will blaze like the light of a thousand Suns until not one shadow of darkness and ignorance remains in your life......and you find standing on the Holy Mount you are HE.
Please hear my heartbeat like the hoof beats of your Mother riding out on her last journey into your inmost soul and through you into all of us here who have renewed hearts........She is now on the Mountain Of God looking down on the vast vista of your life especially that here.
Let this unsophisticated mystic seer from borderland speak intuitively from the heart, let all intuitive spirits see without eyes, hear without ears the glorious view from Borderland, the heavenly melody, let the red scarlet thread of Rahab bind us all together, connecting all multiplicity of our lives into One Life as we are lowered out of the false fortress of material religion that would seize and kill us.
Yes our tears of sorrow are turned to tears of joy, like water drops from a cloud, scattering delight and life in our hearts. And in the midst of the tempest of our lives, though the boat of our body be sinking, it's occupant too intoxicated to row quickly to a distant shore, yet in our drowning we find an awakening to real Life.
Ah yes, but the slightest hesitation here, is the real death, let us welcome mourning, grief, illness, weakness, poverty, change of fortune,hard labour,corrupt politicians,frauds, scams and hoaxes........for they but help on the flow of tears of Divine Ecstasy, the milk the honey flows without end, as Grace lights the fire of the distillery of our heart, yea apply all the bellows of thy heart, this liquor is free, hearken to the cry of this love intoxicated one to drown in the great Sea of love.....do not drown in that ocean of cause and effect of duality, of tit for tat.
For Thou art the cause and effect of thy life, thou are the director, the actor and stage of thy life and also the impediments and glory of all thy works, thou are the Judge and counsel, the Prosecutor and Defense of your life, thou are the prisoner and freeman. And when the Day of God shines upon thee, there remains no argument of day and night, when the single eye of light is open confusion is gone thy whole body turned to light.The confusion of the dream is over.All has gone to Light..... " The Father of Lights in Whom there is no shadow of turning."

CHOOSE LIFE—CHOOSE DEATH |  |
| | | Question of the Day:
What do I find is the most difficult part of letting go? Spiritual life is always about letting go of unnecessary baggage so that we’re prepared for death’s final letting go. That can only happen if we’re willing to know that our protected self-image is not the deepest me. Our passing personas are important and a good part of the journey and they even help us to taste moments of the Great I Am that is God. But there’s so much more. Finally, like the great Paul, we can all say, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ living in me” (Galatians 2:20). My deepest me is always God.

Ron, so much that I suffer is because of the realization that not all know these things, and I wish I could help wipe the tears from their eyes...part the veil from their eyes so they could see clearly (Father your will being done, not mine, I know!). It's a blessing to be aware and awake...to receive what Richard so clearly and joyfully imparts...but do you ever wish all could just receive this, like today would be nice (hehe, my impatience and impudence is showing!).... and then maybe we could all live harmoniously and happily ever after?
Jesus even taught it, but how many people don't *get it*....what ye do unto the least of them...ye do it unto Me? Judge not, lest YE be judged? What ye did for the hungry, the orphans, the widowed, the imprisoned...ye did it for ME. There is only one Life being lived!!!!
How long does it take before all awaken...to Who they really are? Christ...come in the flesh!
Love you Ron, thanks for your Glorious Light~House shining and showing The Way!
Love,
Barb

Barb.... let us continue to be enlivened..enwisened.... enchanted.... into the exponentially enfolding excellence of CHRIST IN US..... and be,by GRACE, the best possible heartseases [violets] in the GARDEN.... just a couple of redeemed ragamuffin court-jesters jubilantly jazz-ing up the scene!!! ABBA rendezvouses us with the right ones in the right place at the right time with THE RIGHT WORD OF GOOD NEWS..... we patiently rest in this confidence DESPITE ALL circumstances and suggestion otherwise.... we are not called to go off madly in all directions under our own steam ....and just be IMPatients..... foolish hearteases trying to be lofty cedars.
We are in this COMPASSION PLAY together,sis..... even when the flag is furled and hangin' limp on the old pole..... love,Ron

manna manna, do do be do do, manna manna, do do be do! Remember the Muppets, Ron? Oh the joy of being a Royal Court Jester! Laughter is the best medicine. hehe
You're right, I'm impatiens but of course God has planted me every time in just the right conditions to BLOOM and entice others to BLOOM where they are planted, too! hehe
I almost uprooted myself there, easy does it, thanks for steadying me! Somebody pulled the rug out from under me earlier today, oopsy daisy! hehe I adjust just fine though...even though for a moment I nearly succumbed to being a Weeping Willow...He had prepared me!! Oh our Father is so good, He told me everything that would unfold and why.....and it did turn out just that way...so I was comforted in my weakness...by HIs Strength....and impeccable timing. Father makes sure I keep my Balance.....and Love & Forgiveness is the Order of the Day....every day!!!!!
Love,
Barb

CHOOSE LIFE—CHOOSE DEATH | |
| | | Question of the Day:
What is my meaning of suffering? Pain teaches a most counterintuitive thing—that we must go down before we even know what up is. Suffering of some sort seems to be the only thing strong enough to destabilize our arrogance and our ignorance. I would define suffering very simply as “whenever you are not in control.” All healthy religion shows you what to do with your pain. If we do not transform our pain, we will most assuredly transmit it. If we cannot find a way to make our wounds into sacred wounds, we invariably become negative or bitter. If there isn’t some way to find some deeper meaning to our suffering, to find that God is somehow in it, and can even use it for good, we will normally close up and close down.

Wisdom!
We can also be transformed by our pain, especially if we consider more than the experiencing of it but also why it's there, and how can we learn from this some better ways to cope. Most important of all, we can appreciate painful experience because it will give us the wisdom to help a brother or sister going through similar pain later down the road.
It's easy to transmit our pain to others, I know, I have done it more times than I care to count. But I try to remember what my good friend Mary has often told me, loosely quoting Maya Angelou here...."we did the best we could at the time, now that we know more, we can do better."
Love,
Barb
