Welcome to Friday Food! A little bit of food for your soul…every Friday. For the next few months, we are looking at “Downloads from Heaven”. In these “downloads” we are contemplating what it would be like if we got a message from God (however you understand God). We will be exploring messages from God about pain and suffering and healing and blessing and love and peace other topics too! When you read these “downloads” you will notice that they are in quotes. This is to help you think from your heart NOT your head. Don’t get caught up in whether or not God, (however you understand God) actually said these things. Just let them speak to your heart. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Here is today’s download:
Stay Present
“Stay present. Pay attention to now. Attend to what is now. Do not worry about what will happen next. The state of affairs in the world often appears bleak. But this is not the first time. Choices are made by others that affect you that you may not agree with. This is always true on the global political scene. But do not fall into helplessness. Stay connected to what you know in the moment and do not be afraid to assess a situation, change your way of being, give up what doesn’t serve you and put on a new way of being. Our relationship is not stagnation and neither is the turning of the world. Seasons come and go. Your task is not to stop the seasons but to adapt as best you can. I will help you do that. I love you.”
With all the things going on in our world it is often easy for me to believe that the news of the day is the only reality. We also have a reality with the Divine within ourselves and others. One of our tasks is to connect to the Divine in others. When we do that we begin to see the Divine reality in our lives, in each other and in the world. It takes a bit of work sometimes because of all the distractions. How do you stay present to the Divine in yourself and in the world? I would love for you to share your thoughts in the comments below.
it takes some conscious time for me to realize god is present to and with me always, and otherwise i know it in my heart. when i get angry, hateful, pitiful and sorry for myself i know that I need some conscious time with my life partner. thanks for this jane
