\u201cAnd as I looked upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty place where nothing ever was or is or will be.\u201d (1.3)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I think that I make, with all of my planning, a future place I believe to be comfortable and secure. Without Love what am I making?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just illusions and not what will truly fulfill me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet my forgiven brothers fill my store with Heaven\u2019s treasures.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The greatest wealth I can experience is the return of loving-kindness that I give to another. My forgiveness puts Love into flow so it will return to me as \u2018Heaven\u2019s treasure\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lesson 138 reminds me, \u201cIn this world Heaven is a choice\u201d. So Heaven, and the treasure I build through Love, is here if I choose to accept these gifts into my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is what I desire, to Love well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet my forgiven brothers fill my store with Heaven\u2019s treasures which alone are real. Thus is the law of Love fulfilled.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no blame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I had a bad experience last evening. I was in the emergency room of the hospital with my mom. Things did not go as well as I prayed for and expected. I could have been kinder to Mom. I stayed with her through the long hours wanting to keep her peaceful and to aid the staff in not having to monitor another dementia patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t like how I feel physically today \u2026 tired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t like my emotions toward mom \u2026 regret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t like how my intellect wants to problem solve, point fingers, to try to keep it from ever happening again. It wants to put blame on someone, accuse, try to shame, and take a victim\u2019s stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is this how the ego tries to protect us?! It makes being a victim its tool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n (My mind just brought forward teachings by Caroline Myss and Michael Singer that confirm how we choose victim-ness as a means of protection.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n To release this, I bring to my reflection the question, \u201cwhy do I need protection?\u201d It was a difficult experience that is now over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I forgive myself. I did my best with good intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lord, let me do better next time. I forgive all others who did the best they could. I send love and forgiveness to Mom who did really well showing her heart while dealing with a malfunctioning brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I see the treasure, Lord. Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today I learn the law of Love; that what I give my brother is my gift to me. 12-10-2024 \u201cAnd as I looked upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty place where nothing ever was … Continue reading 12-11-2023<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
