AN INEXHAUSTIBLE SUPPLY
As far as God is concerned, there is no check of any kind upon the amount of divine energy that we can appropriate, or therefore, upon the things that we can do or be. Yet, for practical purposes, you can draw from the inexhaustible Source only in accordance with the measure of your understanding, just as you can draw water from the Atlantic only in accordance with the size of the vessel that you use. Almost everyone is foolishly content to fill his pitcher, small as it may be, to somewhere very short of the top.
The true manner of God's working is illustrated by a simple anecdote. A certain man was working in his garden, assisted by his little girl who had undertaken the task of watering the lawn by means of the usual rubber hose. Suddenly she cried out: "Daddy, the water has stopped." The father looked over, and, taking in the situation quietly, said, "Well take your foot off the hose."
The ultimate cause of all our troubles is just this. Behind all secondary and proximate causes lies the same primary mistake. We have been pressing our feet and the whole weight of our mentality upon the pipe line of life, and then complaining because the water does not flow. (Emmet Fox)
THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell,,,Chapter 38...
If we hate something it is because we sense in it some part within ourselves, that we have hidden and not faced. Hate has to be worked at, it is not a natural reaction; our natural response is to love whatever comes into our lives; indeed to love ourselves and all that is around us.
Each of us is a simple frequency in the grand opera of existence: unique, but one part of a complete whole.
I have made so many errors in thinking and acting in my lifetime. Sometimes I am mortified at the amount of hurt I have managed to inflict upon my family and friends, the thought makes me shiver with sorrow and pain. Too often I have judged my fellow brothers and sisters and have had to live what they have suffered in order to understand their feelings; this is a hard way to get through life and finally you come to a point where you accept folks just as they are because you are the same and know it; maybe a little different story is all.
I have attained the ripe old age of 80 and my family has grown up around me. I have nine children and three step-children; 17 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren. Debby and Charlie have retired; David has become a real estate broker; and Jared has retired from the Coast Guard after 23 years of service. All of the family is doing really well, and Charlie has become a City Councilman in Belle Plaine, Iowa.
I have found a long-time companion in pain; she never goes away and leaves me alone although there are brief moments when she will lull a little bit. I have grown to accept her as a result of not taking good enough care of my body when I was younger. That is one thing I would change if I had the opportunity to do so.
It is evening, and I go through my routine of closing up the house; making sure that all of my daily chores have been tended to and that the house will feel warm and comfortable for the night.I thank ONE for this wonderful apartment and His taking care of me each day and providing for all of my needs, and also for many of my "wants." He is so generous to his children. Afterwards, when all of my work is done for the day I take a shower and relax and just kick back for the rest of the evening, reading or writing or watching television.
About 11:00 p.m. I take my night meds and slip into bed for the night. I listen to a Sedona Method CD and relax and set my goals for the next day. Then I try to trick myself into going to sleep, but most of the time I am awake at all hours of the day and night.

"Ann, Ann! It's time to leave. It's time to be together!"
I open my eyes and see a great light and in the great light is Ed gently shaking me.
"Come on honey," says Ed, "it's time to go home; it's time to walk into the light together."
"Where are we going to?" I ask.
"Home honey, home; just three feet to go and we will be there!
I stood up and took Ed's hand and we walked into the light together.
