To forgive someone is the single greatest gift you can give or receive.  We don’t know that when we’re on your side because we think if we’re not holding a grudge that’s enough.  But it’s not.  Not really.  Giving forgiveness: To let a person know that they’re forgiven gives them the opportunity to feel free from a sadness that may be deep within, but they’ve never known why.

When I was young I did things I later regretted.  I prayed about it which helped, but didn’t know I should try to see (in my thoughts) the faces of those people I hurt and ask them for forgiveness.  Receiving forgiveness: I now know it would have freed me from my shame so much sooner.  I gave up on myself too soon.  I pray you never do.  Ask for forgiveness and give it freely, as well.  It’s a miracle blessing, to be sure!

Pachelbel’s Canon in D is one of my favorite pieces of music.  I used to sit and listen to it as a child in my grandmother’s kitchen.  As we ate graham crackers and talked about our day, it played in the background.  Somehow though as the years passed and my grandmother got too old to live alone, I saw her less and less.

Before she died, however, I took her hand, looked into her eyes, and told her as clearly as I could that my memories of her kitchen with the music and the crackers were the best part of my childhood.  I saw in her eyes too that she felt that way as she patted my hand.

I wanted to tell you about this because someday when you die you’re going to go with that one person you cherish from the bottom of your heart.  For me it meant I got to go with my grandmother.  As soon as I came free from my body there she was, but this time with her hand out to me.

Tell people who have made a difference in your life how much those memories mean to you.  It keeps you bonded between this life and the next, which means so much when it’s time to say goodbye…and then hello again!

Thanks for the gift of hearing me -

Sometime ago I died from an aneurism.  It was quick, I’ll say that much.  But it sent me from my body so quickly I didn’t have a moment to think about not being in me anymore.  Because of that, I had a longer adjustment period than many others which is why I want to advise people to begin feeling their inner self now.  The truth is, learning to feel who you are without your body might only be in your imagination now, but eventually it will be real. 

IDEA:  Imagine what you might be doing right now if you could.  Would you be fishing? How about cooking?  Or gardening?  When you see it in your mind’s eye, adjustments start to happen that can reverse the damage of physical paralysis as well as mental limitations, because the body’s desire to move - without the confinements of the mind - will lead.  Free yourself.  Get started now!

Thanks for hearing my idea -
