Fish Sammiches

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!
(How is she going to connect fish sandwiches with Valentine's Day they wonder?Hhhmmmmm. Let's find out.)

My last letter to the world referred to the 10 commandments. I've been thinking about how I surrender to God's commands in my life. God's Top Ten Hit's were given to Mose's in the old testament. Jesus came and simplified it into : Love God with your whole heart, and Love your neighbor as yourself. Aye, there's the rub. We have to love ourselves before we can love another. It is only within the light of understanding of our very own self that we see with compassion the truth of those around us. The greater our ability to love and accept ourselves the greater our ability to love and accept each other. The aspect of self love that combines these two themes is honoring God's voice within us. He directly commands each of our hearts with every beat.

We are abundantly blessed with guidance, when we look for it. The more we seek it out, the more we find it. The loudest messenger for me is my intuition. Understanding that God's voice is what commands my intuition was a great gift to me. God speaks to our hearts perpetually. Like attracts like, and love seeks out love. The God within us communicates with itself, and if we listen carefully, we can eaves drop on His thoughts. It is an honor to be still and quiet long enough to hear Him. His will trickles into our consciousness through paying attention to our intuition. Our intuition is a directive from God's conversation with Hisveryownself. At first glance, this looks like risky business.

Seriously, Laurie? We can hear God's thoughts? Of course!
He is always with us, how can we not hear His conversations? When we tune our spiritual ears into His "knowingness" within us, we can have a two way conversation with the Big Man Upstairs. Remember a time in your life where you "overheard" conversations, and ended up with information in your head that you had not asked for. This is exactly how it happens. But with God, because of the "Free Will" clause in our contract, we have to request the ability to hear and then listen to Him.

Remember the old TV sets with the rabbit ears? I do, if you don't then you probably can text blindfolded and with one hand. Back in the olden days, TV's had two antennae that you had to adjust to pick up TV broadcasts. They could be arranged to get the best reception. This is how it works for me. I adjust my spiritual antennae, until I can hear Him the best and tune into that frequency. Being open to hearing Him allows me to tune in at will, which is most of the time. My intuition is pretty good, because I am getting constant Divinely Downloaded Information into my minds hard drive. I trust God with and for everything, because of this I trust the information He gives me. My intuition guides my life choices.

The trick here is quieting our minds and our lives long enough so we can tune into His voice. Hearing him is not tough, being still and quiet can be the challenge. I am an ordinary person who has chosen an extraordinary life. Each of us is offered the gift of experiencing the miraculous, but we have to be looking for it. Like the psychological theory of self-fulfilling prophecy, we find what we are looking for. I continue to seek out the amazing and miraculous and that is what I experience in my life.

I think of the ordinary young boy who was on the mountainside with Jesus, when the 4,000 people gathered there got hungry. This lad had a seven loaves of bread "and a few small fish." Jesus told the crowd to sit down on the ground, He gave thanks, and then the disciples started handing out the fish sammiches-minus the tartar sauce. Jesus knew that extraordinary was possible with ordinary ingredients. He believed it, and it manifested. That young boy must've been blown away with what he witnessed. They were his loaves and his fish, just enough to feed his small family, yet they fed 4,000 people, and there were left-overs. Doggie bag anyone? How empowering for a child to hear and see such a thing first-hand.

We tend to think that only highly spiritual people can commune with God or that only spiritually evolved people create miracles. We all contribute our ordinary-ness, and through the gift of Grace, our stuff comes out as miraculous. Listening to God's voice, is a personal commanding of our journey. When we honor our sacred "knowing", we honor God. When we love ourselves because of our ordinariness, we love God. When we accept ourselves, embracing our truths, no matter how beautiful we are, we join God on Love's sacred journey. Is it more miraculous to believe the less than beautiful truths about ourselves, or perhaps, is it more miraculous to believe we are magnificent, radiant and beautiful Children of The King? Our light and our brilliance is the miraculous truth. When we cling to this knowing of ourselves, then we are empowered to shine miracles into reality.

May we all experience the beauty of who we truly are, and shine our God-light in the less than pretty areas of our lives. Once the dreamer realizes the dream is but a ray of light away, he becomes his dream. Cinderella was right. The dreams that we wish WILL come true.

Shoot for the moon, that way if you fall short, you'll still land among the stars!Hugs and Kisses,
Laurie
