TIDBITS POTPOURRI
A collection of short tidbits from Master Rose.
Charity
Dear God,
Today I gave a talk on charity. As I gazed upon those I was speaking to, I felt your presence, and I suddenly found myself looking at them through different eyes.
I watched their years drop away, and they became children again.
I could see that in their hearts, they knew everything they held dear in life came to them as a precious gift from you and was meant to be shared freely with others.
I wondered why they didn’t act upon this, and I was shown that as adults their trust in your divine goodness was held at bay by worry and fear.
I saw hope wanting to soar into the heavens, weighed down by despair.
I saw the joy your love brings to them, overshadowed by anguish.
I saw their spirits, begging to be free of the physical and mental limitations that kept them imprisoned.
I heard their voices calling out for help, but I could not answer.
What could I do?
What could I say?
I am only one person, and they are many, the body of their grief so large.
I prayed for guidance and felt a great calm as peace prevailed. I was shown a still darkness that engulfed all that is. Out of the darkness came a quiet voice saying, “Trust me. Love all that I love. Serve completely, humbly and joyfully.”
I heard and obeyed, and I felt free.
I lifted my eyes once more to gaze upon those before me, and I saw beloved children of a heavenly father who was forever by their side.
The Puppy
Dear God,
Today I was lonely and then I saw you, bounding across the room, in a little furry brown body, with floppy ears and a wagging tail.
You wiggled your way to me, leapt into my arms, and licked my face over and over.
Others looked on and said, “Ah, it’s just a puppy”, but I knew it was you when I felt the joy that moved through my soul.
Life Is Sometimes Hard
Life is sometimes hard, and despite our best intentions to always be loving, kind, caring, and positive, we often disappoint ourselves. If you find yourself in this situation, it is so very important to remember to have the utmost love, compassion, and patience, for the amazing and very special spiritual being that you are.
Showing Up
What matters most is showing up for your life, whether you feel like it or not.
Ask yourself, “Is there some little thing that I can do today that will move me forward in a positive way”? You’ll be amazed at how much distance you can cover by taking life in small increments.
Everything We Will Ever Need to Know
As babies, we are shown everything we will ever need to know in life. At first, we can’t do anything for ourselves. Then we learn to crawl and reach. Then we learn how to stand, walk, fall, and get back up. Life then becomes an endless series of these maneuvers.
Compromise
Compromise is like flying an airplane and putting the engine into a stall. For a few brief moments in time, things seem better because you no longer have the noise of the engine to deal with, but then things rapidly go downhill from there.
Childhood
Childhood is the pits. It is highly overrated. I know because I was a kid once, and I’ve never been the same ever since.
Stuffed Toys
I have a whole collection of little Teddy Bears and other stuffed toys, because one can never have too many friends.
Your Story
Your outer life tells the real story. All you have to do is take the time to read it.
Thoughts
You don’t have to believe everything you think.
Worry
Worry is a waste of the imagination.
Whining
We tend to whine when we fail to do the work.
