Thoughts For Today
May 2009
These messages are brought to You by Daily morning Meditations & Contemplation.
Like taking dictation, I share with You what I
Hear, See and Read.
Each day a New Thought, a New Option, a New Hope.
The language used speaks "between the Lines" so to speak, which shows You something "Mentally" And "Spiritually".
These messages are "encoded" and will speak to You personally. They are available to You on a daily basis and are delivered to Your e-mail address Free, by requesting to be put on our mailing list at ... eia17@midtel.net
Below is the Present Day's message and the previous days message, and so on ...
"Real Optimism is aware of problems but Recognizes Solutions;
knows about difficulties but Believes they Can Be Overcome;
sees the negatives, but Accentuates The Positives;
is exposed to the worst, but Expects The Best;
has reason to complain, but Chooses To Smile!"
(William Arthur Ward)
Real Optimism or Faith Continually Monitors Any & All Thoughts
of Doubt, of Fears, of Anything Negative that robs You of Your Joy.
Keep Your Faith!
God likes to Deliver with Surprises!
As You're going about Your Daily business, sometimes
You'll get a "subtle" Thought which is an Idea to Do something.
It's so quick that sometimes We ignore it.
When "You shoot an arrow of Desire"
(that's something that You're Asking for)
don't be surprised if Your "Answer to That desire"
is Different than what You Thought the Answer would be.
Sometimes We face Obstacles that We've made from a "molehill into a Mountain".
It's just too big for Us to really Believe that "We can climb That mountain."
So We go to God for Help.
That's when We Ask with Our Hearts.
It's a soft sigh, but God Hears it!
When You go to a Restaurant to eat, You order the "Dish You want"
and within minutes Your desired food is bought to You.
Did You tell the Chef what ingredients to use when preparing Your dish?
Did You tell the Chef what temperatures to use when cooking Your dish?
Did You tell the Chef how to ....etc. etc. etc.
That's Not Your Job!
It's the Chef's Job.
You order, he delivers.
When You ask for something don't tell God How to bring about Your prayer.
That's Not Your Job!
It's God's Job.
You pray, He Delivers.
Talk to God with Your Heart,
cause ooooooooooo it's soo good!
In an Instant - Your Life can Change.
A telephone call, an e-mail, a letter, or a chance meeting with someone, can Change
a whole lot of "bad stuff" by wiping it away with "Good News".
"The only thing which gives anything weight in Nature, is the Law of Gravitation,
and if a boulder could be taken high above the planet, there would be No weight in that boulder!"
The only thing which gives anything a sense of fear or worry, is the Law of Attraction
(what You Think about, comes about), and if that fear or worry could be taken high above the planet to Divine Love & Wisdom,
there would come Miracles!
Take Your problems high above the earth.
Close Your eyes and Imagine flying high into space with all Your fears and worries,
then one by one blow on each sending it into space like sparkles to the Ears of God.
Then, come back to Earth re-energized to Look-for and Receive Answers.
Nothing Is Impossible.
Nothing!
"What true patience is, is knowing that you want it and knowing that it's coming and
actually enjoying the unfolding along the way.
Understand that you never get it done.
So you might as well be patient.
You never get it done, because every time you want and receive,
you also receive a new perspective from which to want.
Life is a constant unfolding of new desires and then
a constant alignment to those desires.
(Abraham)
Visit Love & Wisdom more often.
After 17 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie.
She said, 'I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.'
* * *
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been alone for 20 years, but the demands of my work and my two boys had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
* * *
That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.
* * *
'What's wrong, aren't you well,' she asked?
* * *
My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
* * *
'I thought it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,' I responded. 'Just the two of us.'
She thought about it for a moment, and then said, 'I would like that very much.'
* * *
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last birthday on November 19th.
* * *
She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's. 'I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed,' she said, as she got into that new white van. 'They can't wait to hear about our date'.
* * *
We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. 'It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,' she said. 'Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor,' I responded.
* * *
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation- -nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.
* * *
As we arrived at her house later, she said, 'I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.' I agreed.
* * *
'How was your dinner date ?' asked my wife when I got home. 'Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined' I answered.
* * *
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her.
* * *
Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said: 'I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.'
* * *
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: 'I LOVE YOU' and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till 'some other time.'
* * *
Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby..... somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, 'normal' is history.
* * *
Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct ... somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.
* * *
Somebody said being a mother is boring .... somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.
* * *
Somebody said if you're a 'good' mother, your child will 'turn out good'.... somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.
* * *
Somebody said you don't need an education to be a mother.... somebody never helped a fourth grader with his math.
* * *
Somebody said you can't love the second child as much as you love the first .... somebody doesn't have two children.
* * *
Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery.... somebody never watched her 'baby' get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten ... or on a plane headed for military 'boot camp.'
* * *
Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married....somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings.
* * *
Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home....somebody never had grandchildren.
* * *
Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her.... somebody isn't a mother.
***
Even if your mother has gone Home you can still close your eyes and with your Heart tell her ...
Mom, I Love You!

To All Those Wonderful Moms Out there ...
Ahh, the Month of May,
the month of Flowers & Hopes in Bloom!
Hope is Having Options Presented Endlessly.
There is No shortage of Options when You Hope for something that hasn't happened Yet.
Options are Presented to Us through a New Idea, a Hunch, a Coincidence,
other People, and "signs".
When a Hunch feels good ...
Act on it!
When an Idea feels good ...
Act on it!
When a Coincidence catches Your attention ...
look for the "message"!
When someone says something to lighten Your Heart ...
remember, God Speaks through People too!
Depression and loss of Hope are Options also.
Choose wisely!
HOPE
Visualize the things You Hope for.
"Ask, and Ye Shall Find!"
