Monday's Gratitudes...ACIM's Responsibility Prayer.

I am grateful for this beautiful weather…This weather nor I, me, rell, could not be better…Now just how do I compare my self to beautiful weather…I suppose all conditions are going good for me today!

I most gratefully enjoyed baby setting the 18 month old Indigo Child yesterday. She wants to read her books, which are in both Spanish and English. She also has a grocery sort of cart and when she pushes it…She Has Power! God!!! Was that Primetime to watch!

At no point did she express fear or abandonment feelings when her mother left. Yes, she has seen me before, but not like I was a significant surrogate mother figure. She appears to remember that she is love.

I am grateful that my Good nabor had raked my leaves all up while I was gone trinket setting. No one has ever done that before…when they just get mulched up with the mower…

I am grateful for miracles…for as many changes in perception that has brought me the peace of my present understanding. I love it when my ACIM book opens to chap 21, “The Responsibility for Sight.” I was most grateful when the writer of this book was in agreement with me when I read this. It was like I had done at least one thing right in my Belief System. It goes:

{{{This is the only thing that I need do for vision, happiness, release from pain and the complete escape from sin, all to be given me. Say only this, but mean it with no reservations, for here the power of salvation lies:

3 I am responsible for what I see.
4 I choose the feelings I experience, and I decide upon the goal I would achieve.
5 And everything that seems to happen to me I ask for, and receive as I have asked.

I need not deceive myself any longer that I am helpless in the face of what is done tome. Acknowledge but that I have been mistaken, and all effects of my mistakes will disappear.}}}

Me? I acknowledge that this “Responsibility Prayer” was what got my so-called discomfort beyond the “put-up-on” stage with the woman who delightfully put the Branson trip together.

I said to me: “I am responsible for what I see in this woman merely being how and what I think of me.” I am projecting my own stinkie stuff off on to her.

Guess what? Others adored her!

“I am choosing these feelings I am experiencing, and I will decide upon the goal I would achieve,” which is: I want to see her like God sees her. And I will not be able to do that until I go to Holy spirit and decide OW…I wanted to decide OW and did go to H S.

“And everything that seems to happen to me I ask for, and receive as I have asked.” I am able to see her inner beauty as God does, that is a biggie for as far me as this woman is concerned…I am seeing my own inner beauty as God sees me. Yes, this is a biggie.

I needed to deceive myself no longer that I was helpless in the face of what was not done to me. I did acknowledge that I had been mistaken, and all effects of my stinkie mistaken attitude did disappear.

Hey! Cyberfamily! here in this cybervilliage, who keeps me vertical…this is believable to me in that it happened to me…rell
