"I do not know what anything is for."

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hi lovely ones, another beautiful day of fun, joy, and getting down with our bad selves. It's an interesting thing that the more we focus on the stuff we like especially when we're going through the things we don't like, the quicker we get on the other side of the harder times. So, by the power of my power, I dub today official funny face day. As we skip on down the road let's make as many crazy faces as we can. Hugs you wonderful guys and have an awesome lesson.

 

 

Prayer: Blessed Creator, please help us to know of ourselves we have no free will. That everything is you; our breath, our light, the chair we sit on, the clothes that cover our body, even the ground we walk on, is all You, loving us. You not only created us, but you created each path we walk on, so you could walk it with us. Please give us the ability to accept our calling, to go where you would have us go, to see what you would have us see, and to say what you would have us say, and to Whom. Please help us to open our hearts and minds, to know you, REALLY KNOW YOU. So, we can know ourselves. Thank you for loving us, thank you for teaching us and for showing us we are never alone. Allways.

 

Workbook Lesson: "I do not know what anything is for." So I am learning something huge, the reason I don't know what to do with the stuff is I am trying to use it for my own perceived needs and ideas. Have you ever given something to a little kid that they haven't seen before, like a handful of clip-on clothespins? Since they don't know, they were designed to hang up clothes on a clothesline, they will probably attach them to many things, including themselves, but I bet when they have used all the clips, you won't find them holding up any clothes on the clothesline. Because I associate with a body, I will make my goals body focused, not love focused. Who is going to seek after total at-one-ment, or be open to using our God-given gifts in a loving and all inclusive way? Unless we can see the world through different lenses.

 

Thinking it over: This makes me think about all the areas I have my clothespins in the wrong place. I used my natural gift of discerning spirit given me by the Wholly Spirit to plug into people's nature to learn how to best manipulate them to get my own needs met, when I was able to step back and see what I was doing, I asked the Wholly Spirit to help me see things differently and to guide me to use my gift in the way it was intended. Now I use my clear sight to help others find their answers, and to know what most needs to be done at the right time. Where are your clothespins? Where would God have them be be?

 

Tips & Tricks: Developing good and consistent spiritual habits go a long way. Like remembering to take quiet time to connect to the Wholly Spirit when everything inside you says no, I would rather watch Netflix. Another good one is when you're feeling nuts or off center, to put your hand to your heart and just feel the warmth and pressure and the rhythm of your heartbeat. It's one of my favorites, along with wrapping myself up in a big fluffy blanket and having a mug of tea.

 

Upon Closing: Whew, my face and tongue are sore from all those funny faces I made. I brought cookies, I hope everyone likes chocolate chip, but I also brought some sugar cookies with rainbow sprinkles in case for some odd reason you don't like chocolate. Let's do a little birdwatching, I thought I saw a blue footed boobie in that tree over there, and turkeys are my absolute favorite, they are so adventurous, and they all stick together, it sounds a lot like us. Another group hug and get some good rest. Please be gentle with yourselves and know you are in my heart and thoughts. See ya tomorrow. Love & Light, Riki 🌈
