Good evening and happy Friday night, I pray this day has been a wonderful one for you and that you are eagerly anticipating a wonderful weekend. Today has been a good day here, I had a wonderful long conversation with my sweet daughter and loved hearing her tell me about my little unborn grandson beginning to move more and kick a bit, the phone chat left me grinning from ear to ear. I love her so very much and am so in love with that little boy growing inside of her...oh I love her finace as well, what a cute little family they are!
In prayer this evening I said my normal, usual prayer and then some special prayers for request that were asked of me. I prayed for a sweet family where there is strife between mother and daughter, they are making progress but still have such a way to go, please pray with me for their coming together, for their relationship to grow and for the both of them to realize just how precious a mom and daughters love is. I pray for my friend who is soul searching and overcoming the evils in her life, for her desire to reunite with a loved one and for her mental well being, and her physical hurt. I ask you to join me in asking God to bless her with peace in her heart, calm in her mind and comfort in her body. I asked God to allow each of you to feel the love others have for you, to feel the appreciation for who you are and what you do and to feel the warmth in your hearts that you give to others. In the name of Jesus Christ I ask mercy, grace and blessings for all. Amen.
The Wisdom of the Porcupine
During the Glacial Age, many animals died of cold. The porcupine, noticing this situation, agreed to live in groups; this way they gave warmth and protection to each other.
But the thorns hurt the closest neighbors, just those that gave them warmth. And because of that, they separated from each other.
But they felt cold again and had to take a decision: either they disappear from the face of the earth or they accept the thorns of their neighbors. With wisdom, they decided to go back and live together.
They learned thus to live with the small wounds that a close relationship could make, because what was really important was the warmth of the other. And in so doing they survived.
The best relationship is not that which unites perfect people, but that one where each one accepts the defects of others and forgives their own.
We are humans and we tend to wrong on occasions, but what counts is to overcome these and all other obstacles that are presented before us each step in life. If we close ourselves to a complete forgetfulness of our faults (say, those who affirm they forgive, but do not forget) we are allowing pride to take the reins of our lives and with it we are opening the doors to resentment since each time we remember the incident we come back to feel the low vibrations that this one produced when it happened.
Many things in our surroundings would heal faster if we, truly, let go of resentment, hate, pride, anger, and selfishness. Each one of them silently stop us of our evolution.
