Dec/18/2024 Be Aware

        I'm at a parking lot sitting in my car, a bald headed  guy with a military type jacket on stops by my open window.  He says how you doing, I say ok I guess. He says yeah me too. I do some beer and a little weed. I say I do God. He pulls out 2 dollars, says can I help him out a little bit more, to get something to eat. I said I would like to but.  He interupts says God pointing upward. I nod the affirmation. He says cool I can respect that and quickly moves on.

       What was this about?  From 75 to the 80s, I would always help these people out with a buck or 2. And not think anything about it. Whe I got on a spiritual path late 80s,  divine spirit had other ideas. It was brought to my attention not to hand over the money. It didn't tell me why.  I would still give the money. I was told no but I still did. Use to happen once every 2months. The frequency began to speed up. Until I started to listen to divine spirit ( DS ). I started to decline handing over the money. The frequency lessened. Then a month later I was put to the test, and I  handed over a couple bucks  to the next sob story. Well, the frequency picked up again. I stopped. Then 2 months later I'd be put to the test again. This continued every couple months or so. It's been a couple years, till yesterday. 

        I think God wants to do it his way. People are where they are do their life's choices. He wants them to come to him for help. This would make them stronger in the long run. By me giving money, I delay the learning process for that individual person or soul. I had to learn that lesson as well as the people asking for help. I heard the phrase, if you ask God for bread does he turn around and hand you a stone. So I didn't want to give anyone a stone as well. But I am not God. It makes sense to me now.

       Everyone is different, body chemistry,  beliefs and attitudes. There is no problem being kind in word and deed to everyone. Which I do. So when DS sends a message I try to work on it. Does it happen right away with me, ah that's a no. It would be better for me, but I got a dense head alot of times. But I always try to keep an open mind. That's how I got on this path in the first place. You may have your ideas, but God has his. It took a long time for me to take on his ideas and execute them when dealing with others. So when being tested watch with the frequency of events in your life. It could be about anything. Keeping a journal will show you a clearer picture. As to how to make improvements in your life.

Dec/9/2024 It Starts With You

         You are where it's at. As the day starts, you start in with making choices. What to wear,what to eat and what to worry about.

         I say before you get out of bed, think on 3 things that you are greatfull for then a quick contemplation 5 to 10 min. Then think on how you would like your day to go. May not work out that way but do it everyday. When things don't go our way, don't lash out. It makes things worse, I can attest to this greatly. If you wanna scream go outside and do it. May be good for your emotional body. So if a person does something that is not to your liking, try to see it from their perspective. This is extremely hard to do . Try anyway. Again & Again. If you keep reiterating over the same point, just stop. The hole only gets deeper. It is now time to separate yourself from the dialog. Then rehash went just went down and try to figure out what YOU  could have done better. This is the learning stage, where you are working on you to be a better person. So we are very rough and we need to soften the edges with sand paper. When we do this we become more confident in our abilities to not only help ourselves but others as well. Let others figure things out for themselves you have plenty to work on for yourself.

        Always ask yourself what do I have to learn from these events or upsetments. We can always soften the blow by changing our attitude to what is going on. We may be right for ourselves but sadly not for others. They have to do their own learning their way.

          Living in the now is so very hard. I try to do it everyday.  Still making errors. But I do see some benefits over this past month. Slowing down just a little so as to focus better. When I'm rushed many errors occur. Plus not taking the time to think on a potential problem that can mess you up. Like I did this past week regarding a car. So now I have to deal with this fiasco. But I always say to myself I Will Get Through This No Matter What. My go to mantra.

        Start your days on a positive note. Give yourself pep talks, think before you speak and keep a sharp eye out in what life can teach you. And when pertinent,   write those lessons down. And your adventure is your current life situation and have a fun and happy learning experiences.

Dec/4/2024 A Junk Yard Dog

       In this case it was a car battery, from a auto salvage yard. A new car battery was 160 dollars. Paid 45 for this one. Glad I got it.  Calling around town , it took me 10 tries. The other day the battery hesitated twice slightly, before turning over. From experience,  I learned to replace it. After hesitations in past I didn't take action. I got 2 more months. Then out on the road it would drop dead. I learned I didn't want that experience again. Did research on internet about the battery. Checking on used batteries and new ones. I found that Auto Zone had an econo one for 80 dollars. The car started right up after a real cold morning. No problems. Auto Zone offers free check on batteries. He checked it and it was bad. The battery has a scale of 12.2 to 12.9. I think it's the voltage, needed to turn the starter. If my battery was 12.2 it meant replace the battery.  12.4 and higher was ok.  So I go back in store and ask for the econo battery. He did have one in the back room. Their expensive batteries are all out front. First thing  I said was I want the econo one. Saved time with him bringing up the list of other batteries. As he was putting in battery I noticed the neg terminal was a little loose. This was probably  due to battery being hesitant the other day. However, the battery was still charging to be able to turn the starter. The battery was still weak. With winter almost here, I'm glad I took care of it.

        Being proactive, is thinking about the future but taking action in the now. To avert a bigger problem down the road. Six months ago I was at this woman's house and she talked about her husband who died. He mentioned to her about not feeling good. She said go to the doctor. He didn't want to have to deal with that. So,  one day he is at the breakfast table and she was talking to him. After she was done cooking she turned to the table and was talking to him. He didn't  answer. She went over to him and he was too quiet. He looked dead. She called paramedics.  Yep they said he is dead. Facing the truth is always hard. We get warnings in life,  it is up to us to heed them. To have a chance at a better life.
