This year is going to be something alright. Maybe this year rely on DS even more than ever. I know that I will be taking my own advice.
In 2025, I tried to live in the moment. It is very hard to do. But I did have some successes. Mainly concerning the wallet keys and phone For the most part. Saved me time and money. I go a new microwave. It has a feature that the other one did not. You have o press a button to unlock the door. So I' ve been yanking the door to open it and you can't. Have to press the release. But it seems I forget on a constant basis. This shows I'm not living in the moment. Or yesterday I drop my keys on a 4 ft cabinet on the corner but this time they hit the floor. Lack of focus. So what does that mean. More than likely it means to slow it down and actually think what am I doing in the moment. Say you have a kid and they come up to you with a question and your busy or stressed. Well no matter what you slow it down and you listen to them. They will feel valued by you and trust builds. This is your priority. So this day is a reflection on your life from the last 365 days. I've seen improvements fir myself and I am happy about them.
. This year I will continue the same course. Always work with DS and continue to focus in what I hope to accomplish.
NYC. A guy was heading to a comic store with his young son. He hears commotion down the street and heads that way. People are struggling to get a pitbull to release it's grip on a one year old's leg. The dog will not let go. The horrified onlookers were screaming for help. Richardson who is a body builder attempted to get the dog in a choke hold inside his bicep. He used his other hand to press the other side of dog's neck. He presses with his bicep and hand with all his might against the dog's arteries to pass him out. Still the dog holds fast. Ruchardson starts to worry that his technique will fail. The worry is spreading throughout him. Near the end the dog drops it's grio and passes out. The child is rushed to the hospital where the hole in his leg is fixed up. Richardson then continued onto the comic store. Yep, that's a hero alright.
God put him in that situation as he was the only one who could rectify this emergency. He had to walk down the street to meet this danger. During the choke out, his doubts started to form and spread. So, right here is when you the reader switch your focus to this will work no matter what, as well as calling on DS to help you out in getting the job done. When that negativity peeks in, you say NO. And in your mind you throw the switch; it will get done. This can arise in any aspect of your life. Focus is key.
Last week I approach a bell ringer for the Salvation Army. I place a buck into the plus sign slit of the kettle. As I enter the grocery store, I think I'll get the bell ringer a large navel orange. I see in store the large navels are on sale for a dollar each. I get a 5 lb bag if Idaho potatoes 2 for 7.00. Get to the self checkout. So I see that the potaoes are $4.30 and the orange is $1.50. Call the gal over. The potatoes should be $3.50. She can't get it to work either. Si dhe rings up a small navel orange $.70 cents. So between the potatoes and orange the price works out fine. I get ready ti hand iff the orange to the belly ringer an older guy, but he isn't at the station. I wait a little but he's a no show. The next morning, I get out the orange. Slice it but it looks off. Yep, it's a grapefruit. I like grapefruits. Ok then. So in my mind I had a plan and it didn't come to fruition. I'm glad I didn't hand him a grapefruit. DS ( Divine Spirit) moving in small ways. A lot of people would dismiss this, I do not. We like to think we can control events and we can by our actions. But once you try to align with spirit it takes on a whole different time frame. It gets done when DS deems the time is right. It happens on the micro scale and the macro scale. This here was a micro scale event. My intent was to hand over a large navel orange to the guy. For what ever reason spirit wanted to go another way. Spirit can see ahead of the game.
I told this story before. 40 years ago, I got my lunch from a deli. I made a pay phone call at a phone stand nextt to the bldg. I noticed a young woman nearby in distress. I got in the car and went to my job and would eat my lunch there. Well I noticed I left my wallet on top of the phone stand. Back to the store, and it was there. Also there was the same woman. This time I ask what's wrong. Boyfriend troubles. She has no money or car. So I drive her 15 miles to her house. Lost time snd money but I knew I was being of service to the DS. Happy to help out. So the first time I saw the woman I was going to say something but I didn' t, DS found a way to bring me back for the second chance.
Merry Christmas to all.
So there is this coat rack in the house, on it's last legs. It' s made of metal and can't stand upright. It leans against the wall. I tried to manhandle the metal legs into a better angle to touch the floor. It didn't work ofcourse. My next guess was to get wood involved. I thought of ways to do it. I thought of a way to position the wood under the legs. Then as an afterthought I asked spirit about another way. A couple days later I'm looking at it. Then I get idea to bring the wood pieces in towards the center a little bit and change up the axis as well. This is what I'm going with. When I get around to it.
So I had my way about thinking it out. Then I asked spirit for it's input. My guess is DS put that thought in me, because I Asked. Something as trivial as this. I go through life......figure it out...figure it out. And I forget about DS. Which is in my spiritual toolbox. DUH!!!!
In 2022 in New Jersey at a Wallmart, a guy working as a phone rep for an outside company, first saw her in the break room. She looked exhausted. She was holding down the job there to cover the mortgage payment on her house. Her husband had recently had a serious ailment, preventing him from working. She loved her house and wanted to stay there. The phone rep took a video of her at the break room unbeknownst to her. He put it on Tik Tok expecting a hundred views. He got over a hundred thousand. His title was .life shouldn't have to be so hard. Someone told him to do a Go Fund Me page, which he did. Hoping for a hundred dollars. He got 111,000 dollars. He contacted the woman's daughter and both of them went 'to the Wallmart parking lot. Eventually she went to her car. He introduced himself and told her what he did and would she accept the money. She said she would. However, she would still have to work since it wasn't enough to pay off the mortgage. She needed 160,000 dollars. He went on Gi Fund Me again and explained the new update. He eventually got her 185,000 dollars total.
So this 82 year old women clung to her dream. And in this case her heart's desire came true. She did what she could to make it come true. With an assist from DS, it came true.
Me, I wouldv'e probably downsized. Take action when formulating your dreams. Put your all into it, age does not matter. It also goes to show that there are a lot of kind people out there. Way more than the other kind. Dream it, believe it, then accept it.
As result of taking that video and posting it; he got fired from the phone job. But he said he was good with it. Good karma for him down the road.
Today is the day we give thanks for the good we have received throughout the year. Each week we should reflect on this gratitude because it sets us up to receive even more. Not only to be thankful to God for the stuff we got but the stuff we don't get. We pray for stuff but sometimes we don't get it because we weren't ready for it. Find that distinction. It is an important one. When stresses come it shows us who we are. How do we deal with it. Do we lash out in exasperation. It is at that time that we take a back seat and see what would be our best course of action. Our reactions is what matters. Whether we are wrong or right it doesn't matter but how we respond does matter. I fail on this scenario, quite a bit. Got to learn to bite my tongue before making things worse. Learn to put that pause into your interactions with others. Will the action promote healing or not. Use this in every aspect of your life. There is allot of discord out there, let's see if we can do our part in healing it. We want to keep our equanimity in tact. Our life will be more peaceful for our future days.
This day more than any other is of great importance in bettering our lives. But only if we live it every day and not just the last Thursday of every November. Be thankful and embrace it everyday.
