NOTES ON PREPARATION FOR MIRACLES (Continued)

(Written on January 20, 2018)

When times are very trying or there are major problems that keep you from following a training program, you may find it helpful to minimize your stresses.

Do what is most necessary or beneficial and try to keep up with what has the most worth.  Recognize when things are too much for you and get help or relief.

In my case, I am dealing with issues of life and death lately.  Only a miracle can get us through such times, but making priorities can be almost as good.  A strong belief in an afterlife is a golden comfort.

I was there when my mother passed away.  I held her hand until the second she left. 

My youngest sister was there standing behind me, and that relieved the pressure.  My son was a baby.  Now I know better how to maximize on any possible support available.  I held my mother´s hand until the second she departed.  There was a spiritual presence that lifted and filled the space of the hospital room, going beyond.  It felt like some of it entered into me. 

I got to know mom in some ways I think my other nine siblings missed since I was close to her in her last years when she was slowly dying of cancer.  None of us was really aware of what was happening so you should be encouraged to take the valuable time you have with people, especially sick people, to the utmost.  Awareness is a special treasure.

Memories and teachings from youth can help when facing situations bordering on death.  It still is not easy, of course, and guilt and feelings are often tossed about with seeming ease by all involved.  Introspection and soul searching become necessary.  At the same time, it is of topmost importance to reach out to others and share the pain and consternation.

The miracles are deep within each of us!  We need to bring them forth!  Now!  In the Present!

Having deep feelings and being over emotional are not the same thing.  Dealing with other people who are over emotional, theatrical at times, or dramatic is not easy.  The solutions are very unique for all situations.  There are no easy methods in handling matters concerning life and death.  Sometimes time is the best healer, and also knowing that there are promised consolations later which can´t be seen until they occur.  It is not like you can replace feelings and memories, but that more can be added to what was in the past.

¨LOOK UP¨, says the Bible.
