And A Little Child Shall Lead Them Home

Maternal Blessings

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: brings home the truth about ourselves and our loved ones when it comes to gifts and giving.  This year for Christmas, we decided to provide our grandchildren with newer updated toys for when they come to visit.  They had reached the age where the other toys were too young and therefore not inspiring for them to play with when they come to visit.

Our idea of not giving them directly to the kids was so they would not feel they had to take them home after opening them on Christmas Eve.  That would be a very hard thing for them to understand, so we came up with a plan to gift them to each other.  I gave Grampa a box containing 5 sets of lego blocks that would inspire hours of creative play and interaction with all his grandkids – and Grampa gave me a box filled with 8 different barbie dolls complete with extra clothes and accessories.

How did we know, that this would be a disappointment to the grandkids!  They looked at their usual gift of pyjamas and slippers along with a stuffed animal puppy to enjoy cuddling as they went home to get ready for Santa, and said ‘Is that all there is?”  This was an unexpected disappointment on both sides.  We were sure they would appreciate all the new things that they could experience when they came to visit us – but they were looking at what they would be taking home and their eyes said it all.

So in my conversation with Source before bed, I asked – ‘Why are we always such a disappointment to our children and grandchildren?”  And the unexpected answer came back – ” Now you know how I feel.  I answer prayers, assist recoveries, inspire blessings and a multitude of other miraculous events to all of my beloved creations, and they still seem to be searching for more . . . and some are even disappointed with what they got.”

DISAPPOINTMENT= not receiving what we thought we deserved
DISCOURAGEMENT= feeling we will never get what we deserve
DISPARAGEMENT= not understanding what we truly desire

The Mind Is A Room We Live In

End Of Time

Today’s Life Lesson: Invites us to take a look at our inner sanctuary where we spend our time reliving the past and releasing the present so we can realize the future.  In our hearts we know there is a divine plan unfolding, and we seek to move in that direction as much as possible, but the inner resistance to the changes we require continually hold the walls and doors in place. Some will remain closed – others are ready to open.

As we begin to awaken to the understanding that the doors we have been living behind are the very way we must escape the limitations or lack we are living in, we become more interested in what lies beyond those doors.  Up until recently, we have been limited to four doors.  They represent the elements of earth, wind, fire and water.  Each of them have contributed to us learning, growing, evolving and developing our soul self.

Today we recognize new opportunities in the form of many doors.  The more doors we open, the more we expand our awareness and perception of who we are and why we are here.  The old doors will only bring a repetition of what has already happened – the new doors represent what will be.  The question is when we don’t know what is behind the doors how do we know which ones to open?  Does it really matter?

OPPORTUNITY = reflects the new way of living
POSSIBILITY= represents the variables we find
PROBABILITY= reminds us all things must grow
CERTAINTY= reveals we are here to evolve

What Will Your Legacy Be?

Prayer For Union

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: asks us to consider what our own personal legacy will be?  When we are done with this journey, and our time on earth is completed we leave behind an impression of who we were and what we achieved.  Some cultures celebrate it with a ceremony, others with a burial, some with simply gathering together in your name.  To have the ability to overview or overhear that would truly make your memorial a significant moment of accountability.

In all of the busyness of life, we can get caught up in so many things that don’t really matter, like quarrels, judgements, fears, illusions and half truths.  This is a waste of our life force and energy.  If you were to start each day and dedicate it to your own soul and how it unfolds as time marches on, perhaps each day would have more meaning and significance.

When you look in the mirror – what do you see, and how do you want to be remembered? Are you someone who made a difference?  Someone who had great influence? Or someone who stayed behind the scenes and was virtually unknown and therefore not remembered?  All of these are choices we can make every day.

LINEAGE= the journey of a soul within a group who learn together
LEGACY= the memories and influences we leave behind
LIFESPAN= the time frame we choose to learn what we need to
