Wed--"Humpday's gratitudes...sans God's condemnations...

I am grateful for my work schedule and how flexible it has become.

I am grateful for an upcoming 4-day trip to Branson, MO with 12 colorful people mostly women friends. Branson is a prime entertainment town for “has beens,” such as Andy Williams, Perry Como, Roy Clark, the late Lawrence Welk, plus many other entertainers of my day. It is touted as little Las Vegas. I really never had any great yen to go, but wouldn’t want to miss this event with all these peers.

Branson was a po dunk place not hardly on a map and the most that was said about it: was it had a cute charming lake, and the area was called “Lake Taneycomo” and wasn’t even eligible for a fast food chain in my day.

I am grateful for the super strides going on in recovery with one of my clients that I coach. He finally caught on to the dynamics of having an Abundance Fund, and appeared eager to get one started. I love his innocence…it took him lots of time (many months) to come around that it would not be a set of money that he would be spending nor saving for a rainy day…it is called an Abundance Fund. He liked the idea that when one finally and diligently started one…abundant areas would be opening up in many different ways, ways he’d never thought about... One that he came up with today was, that he needed to plan his day’s work much more diligently, as what he was wasting by not planning would have already increased this A Fund tremendously! This was a GREAT BIGGIE for him.

Now for those who do not know about “Abundance…” just turn a round and shake your buns from side to side in a dance…thus: A bun dance…go figure!

I am grateful for figuring out about abundance for me, as I’ve never lived from a point of “scarcity” (scare city) since.

The course tells us that God provides for each one of us abundantly…that it is already there for us to know about and waits for us until we figure it out. I am so grateful to know God is love and abundance is waiting at our doorsteps when we realize we/I have the worth to know and accept His love for us/me.

I still love and thrive on lesson 46, where it says, “God does not forgive, because He does not condemn.”

Me? God! I love this.

I would not be where I am today if I had any reason to think God would or could condemn me. As Marianne says in her book, “A Return To Love” that I condemn my own self better and more than anyone else possibly could, especially God, who does not condemn in the first place…and I really get tired of that feeling of condemnation.

That lesson has always been good for me to know God as a loving God…this keeps me vertically aligned, and lordy only knows…that is where I wanna be…rell
