I had been trying to listen to SLRN (Spiritual Living Radio
Network) and was getting very frustrated with my laptop -- suddenly the sound
wouldn't work! Even though it was turned
all the way up, I could only hear a faint bit.
I checked Windows help, Mozilla help and Sony VAIO help, and nothing
they suggested worked, so figured I'd have to take it to the computer repair
shop for a new speaker. I started
thinking anxiously about time and money.
I shut the computer off and went
out to rake up magnolia blossoms. How
delightful it was to be outside. When I
came back I clicked on a video in FB, having forgotten about the sound
problem. Again I could only hear a faint
sound. I had read in the VAIO manual
that the speaker was on the right side so I leaned over to try to hear it
better. To my surprise the sound was
coming from my earphones! I unplugged them and almost got blasted out of
my chair! I felt foolish for not
noticing that before!
I had purchased the books for my book circle and not
everyone was at the next meeting to pick
up their books. I set them aside so they
could pick them up at the next meeting.
That week came, and still one person hadn’t gotten their book. The next week they arrived happy to pick it
up, but I couldn’t find it. I looked all
over my table, which is also my desk, and it was gone. I thought someone might have picked it up by
accident, and asked everyone to check at home.
How foolish I felt the other day when I took some papers off my printer
to use it, and discovered the ‘missing’ book.
If these things had happened before I found the Science of
Mind, I might have done an “I’m so foolish” spiral, and been embarrassed. Because of my age, I might have gone into a
story about “Oh no! my mind is going!” Instead,
I felt foolish for a moment and then started laughing. How creative I was to
make up the stories I did about the two experiences! How
grateful I am both were both resolved easily.
I did ask myself: “What
else am I missing? What else have I made
up a story about, and then accepted that story as real?” How about you?
AFFIRMATIVE PRAYER
The Spirit within me is all knowing and unconditionally
loving. It is everywhere present. It fills me with a conscious awareness of my
place in this world.
I now declare that it is my intention to pay more
attention. I am now more consciously
aware of not only my surroundings, but the stories I am telling myself about
them. I remember the Truth – all there is,
is God. God is not foolish. God cannot get lost. God is the energy of Love. I choose to experience and express even more
Love than I ever have before. This is my
new story and it is a good one!
Gratefully I release these words into the Law of Mind,
knowing they have been easily embodied.
And so it is.
