“I will greet this day with love in my heart.” As I read these words today, it seems there came many challenges testing love. I’m grateful for repetition as I didn’t learn much from reading the new scroll the first time. I was tested by a three year old granddaughter. She’s cute, adorable and vary smart, and I love her with all my heart, but today and many other days she doesn’t want to wear clothes. It was raining and colder outside, but no amount of reasoning was changing her mind to put on clothes. Wouldn’t be a problem if we didn’t have to take the five year old sister to kindergarten. So, I put on her one of my hoodies, zipped it up and carried her to the vehicle. After dropping her sister off, I asked her if I took her to her house and she could pick out her clothes, would she put on clothes? She said she would. So off we went!! Once at her house, she didn’t like any of her clothes. They hurt. They were too tight, etc. After about an hour, I said, “Grandma needs to go home and check on Great-Grandma.” If you want to come naked, that’s up to you. She did have panties on! “We can’t go get a treat if you don’t have clothes on!” I said, “It’s cold outside and it’s been raining.” Didn’t change the fact that clothes were not going on, so she started out the door. About midway in the driveway, she started crying, “I’m cold, carry me!” I responded, “I can’t carry you, I’m carrying your clothes and shoes!” Those blue eyes starring at me, cute little face with tears streaming down her cheeks, shivering and as she stood there crying, my heart was crying for her. I wanted to pick her up and carry her to the vehicle. (Tough Love??!!) I just opened the door and she hurried to get in the vehicle and asked if I would put her top on as she was cold, which I did. At least a top was on!
Reading the scroll again, “In silence and to myself I will address him (her) and say I Love You. Thought spoken in silence these words will shine in my eyes, un-wrinkle my brow, bring a smile to my lips, and echo in my voice; and his (her) heart will be opened.” I wonder what would have happened if in my mind, I would have just kept saying “I Love You?” The influence of the mind can be exerted upon any part of the body, causing the elimination of any undesirable effect. Could this have worked on a three year old? I will definitely try as I’m sure there will be another time to practice and practice makes perfect.
Thinking about love, many years ago as I stopped at a stop sign, I was filled with an overwhelming love like an arrow from Cupid was shot and love filled my whole body and I heard the words, “You are a Child of God.” I can still see that stop sign and me sitting there wondering what had just happened? The depth of this feeling of love throughout my whole body, I have not experienced since. So I asked myself, “Why did I have this experience?” As experiences have come into my life, I needed to know this truth and I’m grateful for this experience. #14 in lesson 6: This then is the “Temple of the living God” and the individual “I” is given control and upon this understanding of the mechanism which is within his control will the result depend.” We definitely have untapped power. This I know. When I sit at the piano, I feel I can play a masterpiece. I can play but I’ve never had piano lessons, but I feel I can perform like playing in a symphony! Maybe I could if I gave it the attention instead of just playing for my enjoyment. I am the creator and playing a masterpiece is in my thoughts. What will I create in music, my life, my masterpiece? On to PecorelliPower creating with love.
