Family gatherings . . . What would Jesus Do?

One of the infamous writers of scripture translation and explanation has a beautiful take on dealing with family in one his daily devotional books. Plainly put Max reminds us that the siblings of Jesus weren’t pleased with His mission of awakening and saving the people from their own demise so Jesus protected His energy from his earth family. The first time I read this entry I was in the place of needing support while committing myself to becoming a scribe and that’s the frame that I was looking at Max’s wisdom, now that the late holidays are here again and I’m well on my way to establishing my own distinct voice his true approach on the subject of family and energy is clearly understood.

One of the routines of appearance that accompanies the winter holidays in particular is deciding where family will gather- no matter the depth of animosity. Last year this annual ritual meant nothing to me . . . I was at the beginning stages of writing The Tapestry Chronicles: Born with Power of the Divine which was so demanding that I didn’t care to be around anyone but my son. This year things are different since the more we stand in our divine power the more self-respect we hold. Truth stands in a brighter light; your tongue becomes a stronger sword and your mind a thicker shield . . . so yes family obligations are viewed differently. This thanksgiving I used all three while asking myself what Jesus would do about being around people I really could do without.

Trust me; my earth family is no different than many – nearly all- of you reading this day after editorial

Before I got caught in the feeling that I had to make the rounds of this house and that house in order to please those who wanted to have me or my son near on a day that is dear to their heart, I stopped and went to sleep considering what would Jesus do? The answer came clear as the morning light; I would spend this day of thanks with my son and two special people that I’ve been spiritually guiding since June. The day turned out to be the best ever and well deserving of praise. Once again putting what’s best for me first provided the safety needed to enjoy the company others.

Who benefits when you go places where you will be attacked for assumed weakness? Why make a visit to someone’s home in order to make them feel loved and surrounded by many when under normal circumstance you wouldn’t spend time with any of the people there? Why do we set ourselves up to feel deflated at the end of the day? Why do we encounter and exchange energy with people that are less deserving based on their actions? Funny what we will do for family.

There used to be a time when the gathering of the whole was more important than the individual, but with the butchered family unit why put a band-aid on it? Maybe my opinion of spending all holidays with my earth family will change once the shift of spiritual awareness comes; but, until then I will not place myself in harms way nor surround myself with a bunch of people that I won’t see for another 330 days or so. Oh and while I’m at it I’m going to continue making certain that those who do come to a gathering of mines at least know each other’s name. Besides, when it comes to celebrating the holy days of today what would Jesus do?

Drug test for government assistance . . . what?

There’s a chain email floating around which displays flaws of darkness that remain deposited deep in the hearts of man. Plainly put, it expresses the following belief. Those who work 9-5 jobs and pay taxes are subject to random drug tests; therefore, shouldn’t receiving government assistance come with the same examination? In accordance you’re to forward it to five others- if not delete it. Although legitimate in “eye for an eye” cognitive, this assertion was originally expressed by one who has lack of thanksgivings and gratification.
Outside of the basic concerns over the high earthly needs such a requirement would create; this question begs for comprehension of a spiritual truth which asserts those who are given much are required much. Moreover, this declaration throws out the teaching of Jesus that states when you take care of the least of them you take care of Him.
Would Jesus have let those who contributed monetarily donations to his movement instruct who could or could not receive his help? Does the church? One who pays into today’s societal taxes does not have a divine right to inject “popular” regulations due to tribulations along her journey; especially on monies which are solely used to aid our brothers and sisters!
We are joined and each has a function that affects the whole continuing the evolution of man-let’s not forget this. None of us have the vision of God or Jesus; we can’t argue hard evidence that a lifetime of drug use and government assistance will provide XYZ during future lifetimes. But we do know that God has a purpose for everyone so why get in His way with our limited thinking and concerns.
Posing such question to the people (in an email nonetheless) demonstrate reasoning behind my previous inaccurate belief that man was best left to their own demise.  Angel Anabiel please help us!

Sleep on it.

It still amazes me; spiritual wisdom eternally lay deep within sayings and quotes.  When I was younger and wanted to sleepover my childhood friend’s house, my mother would tell me “let me sleep on it.”  Now that I am a mother and my son is asking my permission certain requests demand a “let me sleep on it.”  Someone needs a favor that I could quickly answer yes out of a sense of obligation; I reply “let me think on it.”  Taking a trip or making a visit . . . sleep on it.  Sleeping “on it” doesn’t guarantee a yes or no but it does bring promise of a new perspective. Now that I am growing into my livelihood “let me sleep on it” has shown me a new layer of its underbelly. 

 

Nothing is established overnight and to think a couple of months would bring you the same reception in your field as, per say, a couple of years of consistent hard work does . . . well lets just say there are better ways to extend your energy.  Cycles are the things that the mighty are made of.  Yet, as one comes closer to the end of a cycle fatigue, desperation and self-doubt often steps up.  Luckily, steadfast determination brings the tenacity needed to reach shelter and not get caught in that self-pity vortex.  This is the place where we receive the opportunity to see how far we have come.

Sometimes standing on Ledge of Yesterday, reflecting back on a traveled path, a sense of accomplishment does not come.  But what if we “sleep on it” before facing the ledge and her replay we will see all as it truly stand in a divine perception.  Thinking now that you’ve found your rest location you’re not going back “out there”?  Release it all to God and “sleep on it.” Wondering exactly what is it that you’re looking at?  Release it to God and “sleep on it.”   Are you pleased with the scene eagerly planning to skip on the rest and leave?  Release it to God and “sleep on it.”

The answer will come . . . whether the response is 1) yeah maybe you should quit and try something different 2) or the foundation stands better than you thought, this is better than anything you ever thought of  3)even better, no more rest is needed I don’t care about the ledge or what ever happen then- I’m leaving now.  Along with clarity comes the ability to calculate one’s next moves, both are benefits of “sleeping on it.”

Now there are other things that need to be considered in a selection of the trio; but that is a totally different editorial in of itself.  So I sit back embracing the directive from God to sit!  I laugh with the angels.  I dream, praise, indulge and sleep.  I shout on the mountaintop that God knows my needs before I even stumble upon them.  My Jesus the Christ is finally getting the time with him that He deserves.  And I am going to finally enjoy the befits of Blogging . . . or maybe I should “sleep on it?”
