OCTOBER 31, 2007

These are times when you have no clue as to what you need to do or must do. However, what you must always remember is that you are only to be you and be thankful for the you that is.

You are a creature of God and as that creature, you are cared for daily, hourly and moment to moment. You are at the forefront of the mind of God whether it is abundantly apparent to you or not.

Worry blocks the good. If worry sets in sing a song of praise, dance to a song of praise or go for a walk and witness God's glory all around you.

This is not the matrix as glamorous as Hollywood tried to make it seem. This is what was created for your enjoyment and your praise of our Father who makes it entirely possible for all good to happen.

Blessings,

"What we leave behind is not engraved in the stone monuments but woven into the lives of others." Pericles.

Recently I was compelled by my four brothers and a sister to do a portion of our mother's funeral. Some would say our mother was full of vim and vinegar, after her children left home she simply adopted any and all children of the community from 9 days to 90 years old. She so enjoyed all those around her from great grandchildren, to baseball teams of local kids, from the members of her church, bingo, senior citizen center,community or her most endeared society of police officers. In short she enjoyed life and passed this feeling on through her cookies of love to all those around her. I, quite frankly, was not certain that I could maintain my composure doing this funeral with out blubbering all over the place and making a general mess of things. Just because my brothers thought all the funerals I have done would qualify me to do our mother's funeral----come on!

The priest was insistent that the ceremony would be by the book with all the pomp and glory of a Catholic funeral, of course I wanted to display the proper respect and dignity to this well respected small town woman-but-I was determined that this was to be a celebration of the life of this child of God, this epitome of the Good Samaritan, this lady who enjoyed life so much all of the "39 years" she claimed to be on this planet during the past 80 years we had observed her.

During the viewing as she lay amongst her pillow of angel pins, bears,brightly colored vest and other little trinkets left by so many of the town, A calmness came over me for I realized just how much she was at true peace. I knew I would be fine---the strength of God was with me.

The angel of death can teach us to live everyday as if it were the last day of our life. That angel makes it clear that everyday belongs to God, everything belongs to God. When our time is called--when our lease is up--all that money...all those fancy cars...all those houses and friends are really only on loan to those who come into alignment with the universe and claim them.

When we try to live in the past--how can we possibly enjoy the present! The time is NOW to tell that someone special they count in your life--not tomorrow--not 20 minutes from now--right this moment--there is no tomorrow until you get there---then maybe by the grace of God there will be another.

NOW--IS one more New Day to be your true self---use it with gratitude to God!

Blessings

----Fred

In some cases this will be of a traumatic mind setting event for the young child, so it is, that, I thank you with a deepest heartfelt thank you in advance for your donations from the heart...

During the reading of "The Toltec book of Wisdom," an ancient writing of the Myans ,a point stuck in my craw, my thought pattern. Unless we wake up, all our lives we bite the apple of social agreement to be what other's perceive us to be, forever searching within our selves for some peace in the knowledge of who we really are.

We create an image of how we should be in order to be accepted by everyone, then reject, abuse,punish ourselves when we do not reach that perfect image GOD IS LIFE AND LIFE FLOWS THROUGH MAN, OUR BIGGEST FEAR IS NOT DEATH,---- RATHER OUR BIGGEST FEAR IS TAKING THE RISK TO BE ALIVE---THE RISK OF NOT LIVING OUR LIVES AS OTHERS PERCIEVE US TO LIVE IT.

Who are you? I DO NOT KNOW! YOU ARE YOU-- AND-- I AM I--- BOTH CONNECTED TO THE SAME GOD, SO WHY NOT Take that personal question to prayer--meditation--listening (hearing) and acting upon those positive thoughts coming to you. After all where did the positive aspects of this universe come from?

Maybe something is trying to tell you to be who you really are. Is that so bad to say of a person, "they are in alignment with the source of us all?"

John 10:10 "I have come so that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly"

Do not resist life passing through you because that is the breath of God-----that is God----that is God flowing through you. The very fact of your existence prove the existence of life and energy itself....your very existence demonstrates the presence of God!
So if God is Life! God is life in action through you.

Then as I see it, the best way to say "thank you God" is by letting go of wishing things to be different then they way they are right---- NOW!

A full life is enjoying what is happening right now, that is living!
Just be that child of life, that joy to the heavens--that praise to the father by enjoying life NOW!
In the words of Wayne Gretzky the famous hockey player:
"You miss 100% of the shots you never take"

Blessings
Fred
