THE TRUE MEANING OF LOVE

If the Angels who descend to Earth remained perfect upon entering our lives – Mankind would have no need to learn -mankind would have no need to learn to accept others who are good in nature -along with all their imperfections.

That’s the difference between love and money – Money cringes and cowars <-(thank you Lord I was stuck on that word for a minute -literally “shivers” was not the word I was looking for, wanted to use) in the face of risk whereas ❀ Love shines!

Babies got Blue-eyes

Do you have any idea how many homeless and needy people out on the streets we have encountered who have the brightest blue eyes?? Blue eyes are uncommon and yet 90% of the people we encounter have these blue eyes. The man we picked up on the side of the road coming back from El Paso-John Caldwell. How he managed to pull that wagon alongside the freeway with both crutches under his arms we have no idea. Be a. We picked him up on the side of the road and dropped him off 15 miles later on the side of the road before we got to town? Another man playing guitar among the rocks on the beach of Southern California-he played a song fir Ana and I 🀠 -ANA THINKS THEY’RE ANGELS. In a largely Hispanic population, I approach men, sometimes women, on the side of the road with a sign in our little city – Only to see them turn and look at me with these bright blue eyes -time-and-time-again. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

DEATH-DEFYING ACT

Some of the most intelligent people in the world, some of the most intelligent people throughout history -have failed to solve the secret to life which seems to defy intelligence. That just goes to show that intelligence is not necessarily correlative(?) to willingness (or insightfulness).

USE YOUR TIME MOST WISELY

Pray for others constantly. Trust me, IT WORKS -even if we ourselves DO NOT πŸ™ˆ the results!

Prayer is probably the most powerful tool πŸ”§ and is probably the thing least inclined to kep you motivated to do so because -it’s results, so evasive to the naked πŸ‘ defy man’s own logic to act, to find renewed motivation incrementally through the observation of the fruits-of-his labor as they too unfold incrementally -BEFORE HIS VERY πŸ‘€ πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

MAKE IT WORK

Do your best to succeed/excel in all things; Even If God Has Other Plans -EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT -TRUST ME!

When the motivation for the things you did when you were younger no longer exist -FIND NEW ONES; FIND BETTER ONE’S!

The best reason in the world for staying sober as you. Every other reason can fall to the wayside, children can get sick or die, spouses can also get sick or die, experiences a change of ❀… Many things can change and yet, there you are -stuck looking for another reason to stay sober after-the-fact. The reason I think we ourselves are the best reason for staying sober is that once we’re gone -staying sober no longer matters πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

YOUR REPUTATION PRECEDES YOU

God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, The Blessed Virgin, The Apostles, The Saints, renowned sinners, satan… They all have a reputation, a set of character-traits, a legacy, a set of footprints, those things they are known and remembered most for. Now in the case of the two diametrically-opposed-polar-opposites above, each would like us to follow in their legacy. While God is known for (I won’t attempt to encapsulate God with words)… satan on the other hand, his chief transgression, his chief legacy is that of placing himself above God -while in the bathroom brushing my teeth just a few minutes ago 😳, I realized that the constant bombardment I have been struggling with is (the struggle to stay down) with a voice inside constantly trying to “E”dge “G”od “O”ut and place me center stage*.

Sidenote: One of the problems among humanity is that we care about what other people think. You know it, I know it, they know it! Jesus took the wind out of everybody’s sails by not caring what anybody thought! Let me repeat that: JESUS TOOK THE WIND OUT OF EVERYBODY’S SAILS BY NOT CARING WHAT ANYBODY THOUGHT (EXCEPT OF COURSE HIS HEAVRNLY FATHER). IT ONLY TAKES THE UTMOST LOVE AND COURAGE TO ACT AS SUCH!

Sidenote #2: What appears to have been a complete waste of time to us to us is oftentimes an exercise thighs in fake or spiritual edification to God. God is no respect of man or things! But to grow and our Creator’s likeness -is Paramount

Oftentimes it’s not the thing itself that is important, but how we come away from it! -who we become through the experience! I NEVER CARED ABOUT THAT -I CARED ABOUT THE THING (Care = anything to make me feel…).

A mind which is subordinate to its body is weak. A body which is subordinate to its mind has learned its place.

Sometimes, the answer (from God) pertaining to “Y” changes; after we’ve gone through “X”; sometimes depending on the outcome of X, sometimes not; Sometimes (being willing to go through) the experience itself is enough-is the point.

β€’Sometimes the outcome matters

β€’ Sometimes simply going through the experiences what matters.

β€’ Sometimes, not going through the experience at all -but simply being willing to do so when called upon is what matters (Abraham).

*God and satan are to be found at the most extreme ends of the (spiritual) universe. They represent the highest and the lowest among all things in, and beyond our universe!
