"TEACH ONLY LOVE, FOR
THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE"
(A Course In Miracles)
I had a dream that all people
came together to sing loving songs to our Maker. The gathering of people was
only the beginning of thousands of millenniums coming together, the joining of
all life. What I discovered was simple: "Only love prevails."
How easily I want to complicate
life. I look around me and want to blame the universe for the "bad"
things that appear to happen. It's an act of God, I think. And yet, in my heart
I know that my projections come from inside me. What form appears doesn't
matter. How I think inside does. So I choose to look at everything through the
eyes of love. And then I see how we really do want to join and sing praises to
God.
Joy and I shared Christmas 1999
with Joy's mother in
One of the blessings we shared
was a sunset of such beauty that we followed it from start to finish. It was
what we called spectacular! The colors glowed and changed magnificently and
ended with a fiery burst of orange deepening to a purple twilight. And as we
drove home, still in awe, we saw the lights of Christmas in the homes of other
families that seemed to say that all was well in the world.
Joy and I brought in the
millennium by watching the celebrations all over the world. Again, awe! What a
wonderful world this is. And the fact that we can savor and enjoy it makes it
all the more like singing the song of praise in every culture, in every
language. My dream was exactly that. All people coming together singing,
"We are the world; we are the children..."
This is a loving thanks to you
for allowing me to share God's love with you. May we, together, continue to
teach only love.
