I can remember finding a letter written by my grandmother about the grief of a loss of a family member. Death was no stranger to my grandmother as she had buried two sons almost a year a part. It was not talked about in my family, but through years of questions I was able to here the story. This particular letter was her reflection of her own belief in God, and how she came to accept the deaths, and accept the fact that there had to be some kind of order which was God Centered for us all.
Reading this letter in my early twenties, I of course did not understand what she was trying to say. With the passage of time, I now understand what she was attempting to convey to this grief stricken friend. That being, or energy, has a plan that guides us all through life. In the letter she included the idea that thoughts also played a vast part in this plan. The example, that she used happened to be an article from a news paper that she had saved and had lost. Apparently this particular piece of journalism had given her comfort in times of grief. She had saved it and referred to it often, but in the every day life experience she had misplaced this particular story which gave her the encouragement that she needed in time of grief. She could not find the story, and continued looking for it for several months. One day, while sewing at her machine, she noticed a Bible. She moved the Bible in order to gain more space for her sewing, and the article fell out of the book. In her limited way of spiritually understanding what had happened she understand that Spiritual Guidance was responsible. This is the same energy that I call God that guides us all. When we are centered, balanced in thoughts, this energy works to supply exactly what we have created in thought form. To become aware of this talent that we all possess is the journey that we must find for ourselves. Because, until we are ready this energy is too powerful to abuse.
For my grandmother, it never occurred to her that her own thoughts guided her, along with spirit, to locate this memorable piece of paper with its precious message. She did understand that however, you name God, there was a presence that guided us always through hardship. The more we all learn to work within this energy, the better our life settles down. And, a caution for the flip side this happens whether we know it or not. So again, my caution here is to watch your thinking.
My message to you who are ready for this news is to be mindful of your thoughts, and above all stop the negative thinking about yourself. You all are children of God and worthy of the gifts that can be received, so stop sabotaging yourself. Best wishes to all who are beginning a new year.
