LOVE AND LAUGH...AGAIN

Don't tell me God doesn't love me buckets and boatloads. A note that I wrote six years ago is so on target for me today, I came on it in a daily reader today, July 1, from 2014: All the disputing of my word now is my invitation sent out and being returned...to see me as I appear to others so that I may forgive them for their reactions to me. 

There's an answered prayer...a prayer I didn't even consciously realize I was praying. Looking back, I see how the disputing calmed into nothingness.

Today, my word isn't being disputed, but my attack thoughts are on the march. OH...quick thought: so it is God's word that is being disputed, there's my upset, my inner discord. 

And so simple a fix...love and laugh.

That just happens to be the context of "God Calling" today: Learn daily the sublime lesson of trust and calm in the midst of storm. Whatever of sorrow or difficulty the day may bring My tender command to you is still the same -- Love and Laugh....[F]or all you may encounter in others, this should be your attitude, Love and Laugh. 

For all I may encounter...pandemic, civil unrest, political turmoil, America disrespected globally, and so forth and so on...it may take years for any or all of that to change, but calming my upset must begin now. Ah, the starting place never changes...with my thoughts which must be upgraded.

It is ever our thoughts that cause our pain, and it is our spiritual growth that informs the way: Our resistance to the turmoil must be surrendered. We know from experience that cannot be done by our reasoning mind...by our thoughts or by our prayers. 

Our prayer for our desired outcome, no matter how righteous and right our outcome seems to be or is, is not God's will as we're praying it...that's just us, our will. We're praying for an end to our pain, our confusion, our disarray.

God's will is not about our discord, God knows no discord...God is love. Love aborning in each and every living thing in the universe, humans, animals, plants...rocks included. 

Ours is to get quiet and let peace envelop us. Love of life will follow and we can laugh...for taking ourself too seriously.

Thank you.
