Linda2 months agoLindaThe blessings of friends and family. 0 Reply Cheryle2 months agoCheryleI am loved beyond what I can ever imagine and that as I believe this Truth more deeply it is slowly transforming me from the inside out! 6 Reply devy2 months agodevySo true Cheryl.. we are all lovable.. this is something that I am working on. I find it shocking that sometimes we treat others with compassion, love and kindness better than we treat ourselves. 4 Reply Cheryle2 months agoCheryleðŸ™â™¥ï¸ðŸŒ· I hear you Devy 1 Reply Dusty Su2 months agoDusty SuThat Christmas came and went with minimal emotional damage. 5 Reply KC2 months agoKCThe gifts of life, relationships, family, friendships, community, peace and love … Happy Christmas all. ðŸ™ðŸ» 10 Reply Don Jones2 months agoDon JonesThe ever present option of turning inward – the place you can observe clearly when you don’t look directly at it. 10 Reply KC2 months agoKCThank you Don.

Spending the holidays with my family. I am “home for the holidaysâ€, and had not been for awhile. So it is nice. Too bad my reasons for being here are not so good, illness, aging related issues, (my brother, & mother), however I am trying to look on the bright side & count my blessings. As I learned from Kristi’s course, Gratefulness & Perspective, “Responsibility is a Privilegeâ€. I am trying very hard to hold that thought & maintain perspective.â...The miracle of family.

Since short, some hope and some of His light reappears at the inner horizon, which I almost had lost. I am happy and deeply grateful for this reappearance of some "silver lining", which even might be supported by true inner transformation. Work in progress of course.

Since short, some hope and some of His light reappears at the inner horizon, which I almost had lost. I am happy and deeply grateful for this reappearance of some “silver lining”, which even might be supported by true inner transformation. Work in progress of course. The most important miracle for me is that I just heard from the daughter of my chosen mother that she succeeded to bring her mother home for Christmas, which seemed to be impossible and which made her deepestly sad the last weeks while staying in the nursery home after she fell and broke her pelvis. She most probably is now about to approach the veil to beyond, and that she is home now, which was her one and only wish to be allowed to die at home. Her daughter is with her and is looking after her needs, when she still wakes up for some minutes. And her second son, who was angry with her and did not speak with her since 5 years now came to visit her and both found peace with what was. I am deeply grateful and thank God for his mercy for her last time here on Earth. I cannot be with her due to the pandemic restrictions, but I can be with her in my heart, and I was, every day. Thank you dearly to the all encompassing universal Love to have supported her last wish.

St John the Divine ; 16:24 to his disiples …“Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the father in my name Alaha will give it to you. Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be full.†May your wishes be “Joyâ€-filled! 10 Reply TofuLove2 months agoTofuLoveThe miracles for me are always the things I've been able to help others with this Christmas season.

When I sit here and think, my mind goes to the happiness I’ve been able to help others experience. Then I think more about my resolve to help others and create a kind, beautiful world. My mind goes to every baby laughing and giggling, every parent holding their children, every child holding their elderly parent lifting them into a bath or into their bed, I think about all the people caring for special needs children, I think about people in countries struggling today and going to work in a factory for 12-14 hours, I think about people in refugee camps, I think about a woman working as a maid who takes the bus two hours each way to work making tortillas for her child, I think about children scared hiding in closets afraid of being hurt today by the people who should protect them, I think about humans everywhere and wanting to make things better. I celebrate everyone in the world who is working to create a kinder, gentler, more humane world.
