This post is dedicated to my Aunt Margie who passed on Monday June 21st. She was the best example of a child of God of anyone I know.
The topic today is FILTER. Filter my humanness and live from the Christ within me.
When I stop judging God's creations or expecting them to be and do what I think they should do I am filtering out the humanness. I am allowing myself to see the Christ within them and me. Having a God like filter allows me to not judge others errors and not honor the humanness that causes the errored thinking.
My aunt Margie handled error thinking well. When she did feel she needed to respond she did so with a soft loving voice. She would tell uncle Billy will a soft voice not to do whatever he was going to do to damage his health. She never screamed at him she never kept criticizing him as he went ahead and did it on most occasions. She never stayed mad or got mad at all. Just soft spoken comments because she loved the man dearly and only wanted the best for him.
Error thinking does not contribute to the my highest good. My thinking puts out energy that attracts like energy. What do I want to put out? Errored thinking or unconditional love thinking.
Sure in human form I am going to get mad or be frustrated over people, places and things. Today I have spiritual tools to use instead of taking the other persons inventory and criticizing them. Constructive criticism is an oxymoron. Construct means to build up and criticize means to tear down.
To make sure my brain is leading with love I practice loving everything in my view all day long. I pause to say I love you birds, squirrels, weather, traffic and any other person place or thing that cross my path.
The Christ in me loves the Christ in all things created by God. When I find myself frustrated I call my spiritual mentors and talk it over with them. What I want to know is "what is my part in this situation." Many times when I reach this answer I don't need to speak with the other person because my behavior is not their fault.
I do learn and grow spiritually and the next time I express myself in a more loving way as Aunt Margie always did. Soft and loving, no matter how angry the other person behaves. This way I don't take their inventory and criticize them. I am learning and growing and remembering what would Jesus do. This is who Margie patterned her life by and so can I. Any time I screw up I can just stop and start over again. Judgement free zone...

Understanding
As I grow on my spiritual journey I understand things are unfolding just as they should. I am growing by leaps and bounds. I had a mentor who would say "You are either green and growing or ripe and rotten." I chose green and growing. There are no coincedences.
Life as a human means I will always have lessons that will pop up. Today I have a tool box full of spiritual tools to meet these challenges with. Will I have anger, frustration, judgement from time to time. Yes, unfortunately. I am still in human form but today I choose differently.
Most of my days are spent loving, forgiving, acceptance courage, faith and so much more when I remember to let God take the wheel. I am growing to be the person God wants me to be. It doesn't get much better than this. My only job is to listen and share my experience, strength, and hope if I have experience to share. I can always share God with them and pray for peace. This is my most powerful tool.
I am now learning to close the door on my old habits and negative opinions. I now have a different understanding as to my purpose in life. I see the old with a new loving pair of glasses. I cannot change my past but I can change the future by what I do today. Love is the only thing that will change life.
I am growing in understanding each day I stay in the moment and do god's will. He never gives me more than I can do. He is always there to help me along the way. When I learn a new way using love I don't create so many misunderstandings and this lessens my need to make amends. I will choose love faster the next time the lesson comes around. Lessons are always going to be there. I get to choose how they affect me.
If I face anger I will bring love.
If I face frustration I will bring love.
No matter what I face I will bring love to the situation. This is God's will for me.
Each moment offers me a chance to know better who I am and to understand more fully the real contribution that is mine to make in this life. I will let the anticipation of my changing ideas excite me. (Each Day A New Beginning) GO GOD

Acceptance
I accept there is a divine plan in place and I am a small blip on the radar screen except in God’s eyes. My life is unfolding just as it is suppose to. While I judge things as bad sometimes, I always see the other side after I am through the event. When I look back I was not alone, I was being held by God’s arms as I walk through my human life.
I no longer waste precious energy wondering why or ask God to send me a visual aide of the future so I can get through today. I accept that there is a divine plan in place and know to simply ask God for guidance now. Sometimes I need a visual aid now for the present moment because I don’t know what is my part in the unfolding plan. I discover that usually means I have no action part at this time. I am willing, when it is made clear, to suit up and show up for my part.
Today I try to bless whatever is in front of me and give it my full co-operation. Inside each moment,I get the to practice my purpose, acceptance, unconditional love.
I use to think acceptance meant I agreed with whatever the topic was. Today I know acceptance is simply seeing the situation for what it truly is, not how I would like for it to be. When I am doing God’s will only good will come out of the situation.
As God directs me I accept that resisting only brings me resistance. Today I will go with God’s plan and if I am confused simply ask for clearer guidance. I am no longer willing to swim upstream against the current. I want to float moment by moment listening to God’s will and what is right in front of me.
I accept my good and my perfection as God’s child. Perfection can only be the energy within my soul. As a human my humanness cannot be perfect. Only my being is perfect. It is in God’s likeness. I will recognize others perfectness as the Christ within them. I will know their behavior is not who they are.
I do not want for anything. I always have answered prayers. Go God.

Remember To Love
I lovingly remember to love others in my life and those who are not yet.
I was fortunate that all my grandparents were spiritual people. They taught me about God in their own way. It made it easy for me to learn about the loving God I have today. God was always in my life and he never left me. He loves me unconditionally. He remembers to love always.
Then there was Jackie. My first spiritual sponsor who helped me re-build my relationship with God. I hope when I am gone someone says they too were helped by my words or guidance that God led me to give them. As long as it was God’s will they will benefit too.
Because of all the spiritual people in my life today my life is better than I could have imagined it to be. I never would have known some of the people I know and have the friendships I have.
Do I get angry or disappointed. Yes I do, but today I don’t blast the person, place or thing that appears to have triggered my hot button. Today I remember to love by going to a spiritual mentor to get the anger or frustration out of my head. They can help me see my part, my hot button, and let it up to heal it so it is gone the next time I get to have this lesson.
Life is eternal and God’s love never changes. It is an endless supply. This is my goal to aspire to. To unconditionally love everyone and everything he puts in my path. This requires non-judgment on my part.
This is a day I will remember that God loves me, that we and our dear ones are dear to him, held close in His love now and forever. Go God.

Rejoice
I have so much to rejoice over. I have an army of great friends that would help me out with just a phone call. I have family near me that I get to spend time with on a regular basis. I have three jobs that not only allow me to pay my bills but I also have things I want.
I have a spiritual toolbox full of tools I can use when I run up against life on life’s terms. I have a dependable car and a nice roof over my head. I have the most beautiful grandchildren anyone could ask for.
Sometimes blessings come in packages and as humans we judge it to be hard or fearful. All I need to do is get out my spiritual tool box and walk with grace toward faith. That is where God is. I rejoice in knowing I have such a powerful force that only wants me to be happy and be at peace.
Today I rejoice in all my blessings big or small. I will thank God every time I see a blessing such as a conversation with a friend or a beautiful day that God made.
Counting my blessings gives me an attitude of gratitude. Gratitude is what manifest more gratitude. I rejoice by writing 5 things I am grateful for every day.
Today they are
1) Had money to get out of the bank to spend on my babies
2) Love my jobs
3) Had an awesome vacation with my friends from school and the old neighborhood.
4) Spending time with friends tonight at Jake's house
5) Using my spiritual tool journaling.

Intention
I fulfill my purpose as I share love with the world.
“It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.” ( Mother Teresa)
Unconditional love is a hard thing to understand. It does not mean we agree or participate with someone who is experiencing negative behavior. It simply means the God within us knows there is a God within them. That is unconditional love.
This has helped me in communicating better with others. When I am hurt or angry I do not need to have a conversation with the one involved. I do know the Christ is within me as it is in them. They are just at a different place on their journey.
When I go to a mentor and try to work through the feelings I then calm down and can come from a place of love for this situation. I don’t like to be yelled at so I do not need to do this with things or people who appear to have done it to me. Sometimes the best thing to do is to work through my feelings and never speak with the other person about the incident.
Behind all of my feelings is a hot button and I installed it in my subconscious. Only I can let it up and heal it. IF I am not the problem then there is no solution. This is the intention I want to have in all my affairs today. I will make a much better mark on the world with this intention than with confronting and abusing the other person, place or thing.
My job is to demonstrate to others with my intention and bring light to the darkness. When I am able to share this with others I am fulfilling my purpose and are divinely guided. This is doing God’s will not ego’s. When I can do this I attract love and have loving relationships with everyone on my journey. I attracted unlimited good.
Intention takes me straight to faith. I get to bypass hope. Hope is a waiting game and I do not always know what steps I am to take.
Faith assures my peace and that I can live a peaceful and joyful life no matter what is going on all around me. Intention is for me to do good not to harm others.
Today my intention is to love the world and all of God’s creations and not pick and chose. Every incident, argument or judgment on my part is to learn to love unconditionally. God thank you for putting the people, places and things into my life to help me grow spiritually even if they sometimes come in non loving packages. Go God
