Thoughts For Today
September 2007
These messages are brought to You by Daily morning Meditations & Contemplation. Like taking dictation, I share with You what I
"Hear" 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 ...
Walk In Grace ...
Not in disgrace!
(grace - A sense of Fitness. A Disposition to be Generous or Helpful; Good Will. A favor rendered by one who Need Not Do so.
Divine Love & Protection Bestowed Freely Upon mankind.)
(disgrace - Loss of Honor, Respect, or Reputation; Shame. The condition of being strongly and generally disapproved of. To put someone Out Of Grace or Favor.)
Only the "influence" of a man/woman can "take-away"
Your Grace Granted by God to You Personally with "Mis-Judgements" of You,
And Make You Believe that.
-Don't let Them!-
If Your conscience is clean ...
God Knows It!
You can't change the past, but You Can Walk into a New Future.
Walk In Grace!
You Are Loved.
All things Pass - cause
"What goes Up, must come down."
And "What goes down Must come Up!"
Shake the sands of doubt off Your sandals and
take One Step at a time towards Your Joy,
One Day at a Time.
Your Prayers, Hopes & Dreams are between You & God Period.
Let No man/woman rob You of Your Joy with doubts.
Take Your "sandals of doubt" off.
Walk barefooted in Faith,
cause God will take care of the "Hows".
Be Alert to "Coincidences" that give You a
2 thumbs Up sign!
Are You Ready for a Miracle?
"Ask, and it shall be done unto thee."
"If Thou canst Believe, All Things Are Possible to Him that Believeth."
"If Ye have Faith as a grain of mustard seed, Ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove;
and Nothing shall be Impossible unto You."
God Loves Ya kid!
Ask!
A Blue Heron visits Us Today.
They are symbolic of Self-Determination & Self-Reliance.
Not only do They have Huge Wings, and a Long neck ...
they also have Long thin Legs.
Legs enable Animals & People to move about on the earth.
They are symbols of Balance, and they represent an Ability to Progress & Evolve.
Legs carry Us forward in Life.
The Long thin Legs of the Heron reflect that You don't need great massive pillars to remain Stable, but You Must Stand On Your Own.
Herons are lone hunters.
They do not feel pressure to "Keep Up with the Joneses".
They follow their own path.
If one way doesn't work ...
then another Will.
Are You afraid of stepping-Forward in Life?
Perhaps it is time to put Your Best Foot Forward and take a stand in Life!
Be Grateful for Your Legs.
They've carried You for a Long Time.
Take care of them.
You'll be surprised what a comfortable pair of shoes will Enable You to Do!

A Beautiful Blue-Jay visits Us today.
Blue-Jays symbolize the Art of Communications.
Words Are Powerful.
Say something nice to someone, and watch Them light-Up with a Smile.
Say something nasty to someone, and watch Then light-Up with Anger.
Blue-Jays Teach Us the Proper Use of Power.
The Most Important thing to Learn & Remember Is ...
"Not Everyone sees things the Same Way".
Not Everyone watches the same T.V. programs that You do.
Not Everyone listens to the same Music that You do.
Not Everyone has the Same background, beliefs, etc. that You do.
Not Everyone etc., etc., etc., that You do.
Everyone is "Tuned-Into" Their Own "perspective of Life".
Everyone is as Unique as Their DNA containing Positive & Negative.
When Communicating with Others, try to see & understand where
They are coming from.
Tolerance Is Power in Respecting the Differences & still Live in Peace.
You are Not Here to Change Them ...
You Are Here to Expand You.
See the difference?

Our Spirits are like Flowers.
They have Their "Blooming-Times" ...
and They have Their "Wilting-Times".
In Life when We're all Aglow with Joyous experiences ...
We easily look-Up with Gratitude.
The flip-side in Life when We're Angry with Depressing experiences ...
We easily look-away from God in depression.
I had had an intense disagreement with Someone very close to Me. It took Me by surprise the Anger that this person had towards Me. I'm sure We've All had experiences like that and then We Feel like a "Wilted Flower".
We're bummed-out bad.
That is How I was Feeling yesterday.
During My morning Prayers for Guidance as I looked out, there was that Yellow Flower that I spoke about on September 7, 2007 (see picture featured that day). This time it was Wilted and facing down. I felt like that wilted flower, but then I "heard" ...
"Look Closer" and as I did I saw a small New Flower beginning to bloom out of the now wilted Yellow Flower!
Something New and Beautiful would now Grow. Then I "heard" ...
"Look Closer" and as I did I saw that this New Yellow Flower had 5 tiny petals.
5 is the Number of Change, Expansion, and re-creation. The negative aspects of the Number 5 are Defeatism, fear of Change, Failure.
Either way, 5 indicates Change & Challenge.
To look to Both the Material & Spiritual realms in order to extract the Truth.
(Trying to see things from the Other person's perspective.)
In arguments, Who's Right?
"BOTH ARE!
In Their Own Minds each has a valid case."
Then a Blue-Jay appeared. His color of Blue glistened in the morning Sun and reminded Me about the importance of right Communications.
"You can't Communicate in Anger, just like You can't put-out a fire with Fire.
Chill and cool-off for while. Time does Heal You know.
Something New will Bloom from the pain You now feel.
Just Love & Forgive ...
God Will take care of the Hows in Reconciling You two
(Communicating without the Anger).
Peace Will return to Your Spirit again,
I promise You :)

There will be times when You can't See "the Road ahead" for lack of Vision.
That Doesn't mean that Your Hopes & Dreams are not
"just down the Road a piece".
Remember, After night ...
follows Day when the Road becomes Clearer.
In the meantime, put Your "High Beams On" and Keep Going!
Surprises await You ...
"just down the Road a piece".
This morning a magnificent Vulture came to visit.
These are huge birds that look like Eagles when in flight.
His "Message" to Us was ...
"You are being taught to Broaden Your sense of Self beyond
the Horizon of what is Presently Visible.
In Learning to Face Your Personal "Fears" of the "un-known"
the Wings of Your Soul will be Supported by
the Ever-present breezes which are the Breath of God.
Feed Your body, but More Importantly...
Feed Your Soul that You may Soar High above Anything
that is presently robbing You of Your Joy.
Ask for the Help that You need,
and Stop Thinking about "It".
Fly away from "it" for now and Let Go Let God while
You Think of something else that brings a smile to Your Face."

911 - 6 Year Anniversary...
After 90 degree weather, the day opens with cool winds and heavy rains.
There is Thunder and Lightning.
News coverage on 911 is on every Radio and Television Program.
We Re-Live the Emotions of 911.
They are still fresh in Our Hearts & Minds.
The gloominess of the weather is out-shined by the Light of many candles burning throughout many Homes in Memory of that "fateful" day.
Once again We are on High Alert ...
this time, We're "prepared".
Millions will put Their headlights on.
Millions will light Candles.
We prepare United in Prayer.
Notice How Much "terrorists Pray!"
Prayer Is a Powerful Force.
It can be used to Heal ...
and it can be used to Destroy.
We Americans have the Technology to Destroy Any Physical object ..
but Must Use Our Spiritual Forces through Prayer.
One Nation Under God, Means what it says.
Let No man Rob You of Your Joy ...
"Let There Be Peace On Earth"
Is a Mantra. Use it.
Millions of Loved ones that have "died" now Join Doubling the numbers.
Acknowledge Their Presence Today in All that You do and remember ...
"Let There Be Peace On Earth"
United - We Stand.
Divided - They Fall.
Deer is the Symbol of Gentleness.
Deer teaches Us to use the Power of Gentleness to
Touch the Hearts & Minds of wounded Beings
who are trying to find Peace in Their own lives.
"Like the dappling of Fawn's coat, both the light & the dark may be Loved to Create Gentleness and Safety for those who are Seeking Peace."
You are being asked to find the Gentleness of Spirit that Heals All wounds.
Stop pushing so hard to get Others to Change,
and Love Them As They Are.
Be Gentle with Yourself as well.
You are the "Mother" of the Child Within You!
Allow that child to romp and play freely.
Wanna get someone "out
of a funk"?
Play with Them!

Sometimes, Ya gotta separate Yourself from what
Others are doing with Their Lives ...
and Do Your Own Thing.
In the same way that Your DNA & Fingerprints Are Unique
and Belong Solely to You ...
so too do Your Creative Ideas Belong Solely to You.
Don't be afraid to "stick Your Neck Out".
It is the Uniqueness of You that Adds Beauty to the rest,
just like this Flower (picture below)
that I did Not Plant when I planted the others!
Come-Out of "Your Shell" ...
Let's See What Ya got!

It was a Very Busy Summer for Me with a 17 year old in Varsity Football doing 2-a day practices. Living up on a Mountain it meant lots of driving back and forth, washing and drying his equipment daily and all the other things "stay at Home Moms" do.
After the Labor Day weekend and all the festivities here at "Grandma's House" ...
I was beat.
Now comes the hustle of a New School Year and all the preparations of clothes, and School Supplies, etc. In short a whole New Schedule just as hectic.
After dinner, I went outside to sit on my deck to chill with a cup of coffee. To My surprise, there sitting as if waiting for Me was a huge Toad!
I tried to take a picture of him, but it was too dark, so I asked him to wait while I got a large flash light. He did! Below is that picture.
Frogs are symbols of Cleansing and Rebirth.
"When the ponds are dry, Frog calls upon the Thunder Beings to Cleanse and Replenish the Earth with Water.
Like Frog, We are asked to know When it is time to Refresh, Purify And refill the coffers of the Soul"
"Sing Frog Sing!
Call the rains,
Quench the dryness,
Cleanse the Earth,
then Fill Me Up Again."
(Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams & David Carson)
So, I took a nice long hot bath that night and felt the Peace that this "Messenger" gave Me through sign-language.
Next time You are visited by a Frog, it just means it's time to Cleanse the Spirit and Fill Up again with Fresh Energy so that You Feel
Peace.

Did You know that not only Birds bring Us Messages from the Great Beyond ...
but Insects as Well!
Next time You are "visited" by an unexpected "Insect" ...
don't just shrug it off with "distaste".
Instead Ask God What the subtle "Message" Is.
You see God talks to Us through Everything And Anything.
We need to become more Sensitive and Alert to these "Messengers".
I've been studying How Animals Speak to Us and it actually Includes Insects!
Pictures can speak Volumes.
That's why "Symbols" are used so often.
Below is one such picture that I took this morning of a "Messenger" (a stick bug with 6 legs) on My Kitchen Curtain!
"Insects succeed as a group because of Six primary qualities.
First, their Ability to Fly enables them to spread.
Second, they are extremely Adaptable to the Environment and Climactic Conditions.
Third, they have an external skeleton which provides a kind of armor for themselves.
Fourth, their small size keeps their demands meager and more accessible.
Fifth, reproduction enables the species to survive.
Sixth, they have the ability for Metamorphosis. They can undergo Multiple (usually four) Changes to facilitate and carry on Life.
All of these Characteristics can be viewed Symbolically as Ideas which would Assist Humans to be more successful within Their Own Lives.
We, of course, can not Fly, but We can make sure that We don't get Stuck in what is too comfortable. It can reflect a need to continue to Explore New Avenues in Life and Not to become too content.
We can't wear Our Skeleton on the Outside, but We can Develop Our Sensitivity to the Energies around Us and Strengthen Our Own Auric fields so that We are less likely to become Victimized.
We can Keep Our demands small, and not be so Wasteful within Our Lives. Many people fail at Life because they try to accomplish the great All At Once, rather than building and Doing a little at a time so that it becomes Great Over Time.
Lastly, Change Is Inevitable in Life, and Life only becomes more difficult and dangerous on many levels when We Resist it's Natural Flow.
Change Ensures Growth.
We have to shed the old before We can come into the New.
Metamorphosis is the magic inherent within insects.
It is the magic of Life that they can Teach."
(Ted Andrews - Animal Speak)
In the picture below notice the wings look like two eyes.
If You pull back you'll see a face.
The head of this stick-bug is on the third-eye area of the face,
as though passing "knowledge".
If you pull back your sight, on the left is the outline of the head of an Eagle looking right.
On the right is the Outline of the head of a Dove looking left.
These are strong Symbols to You and Me to have an Open Mind in
How We Communicate with God And loved Ones who have Crossed,
and How God And loved Ones who have Crossed,
Communicate with Us.
Notice unexpected "Messengers" ...
God Hears ya kid!

"Let what You're Living right here and now in this Environment
be the process that Evokes the desire that summons the Life Force
that provides the Creation of Anything.
Whatever You have the ability to Conceive,
this Universe has the Ability to Provide.
Anything, without exception.
(Abraham)
Imagine That!

As We leave the Summer-Time and enter the Beauty of Autumn,
Save all the Beautiful Pictures of Joy You experienced,
and remember, all the hard work You did ...
paid off!
"Here's lookin' at You kid!"
