Corinthians 13

My friend, David shared this passage; Corinthians 13 at the workshop I attended last week in Mt. Hood, Oregon: Path To Authentic Power.

Gary Zukav and Linda Francis teach this workshop which is based on their books about creating authentic power.

Corinthians 13 reminds me of something Gary shared with me many years ago, he said, “There is nothing Love cannot heal.”  So true, and reading this reminds me when I forget.

Corinthians 13

LOVE

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Dogs Are Angels On Earth


I came across this piece, Reader's Dog Photos on the NY Times website; people submit pictures of their dogs. I found the images uplifting and wanted to share it with everyone. 

Dogs are God's gifts to us.

Angels are everywhere

We were running behind schedule for our 7am departure at Newark Airport; I wasn’t concerned until the insurmountable security line confronted us. It didn’t look good. We had 20 minutes to catch the plane. My first choice was to relax; thinking we’ll make it just in the nick of time. But as time passed quickly and the line moved slowly, I suddenly knew we would not make our flight. I had to do something, but what? I was ensconced in a sea of unhappy travelers. Intuitively, I bolted out of the line to find help. There was no one in sight, except two TSA workers. I called to them and asked for help, they shook their heads ‘no’ in reply. I began to walk back to the line, and let go of the attachment to the outcome of making my flight. When out of nowhere, a man called to me. He quickly showed me his badge, checked my ticket and escorted us to the front of the line. We arrived at the gate as the cabin door was closing.

I’m quite sure this man was an angel; perhaps not the celestial variety of angel, yet, an angel non the less. We all have the potential to serve as angels for each other.
The visual archetype of an angel is a human with wings to fly; it is a beautiful metaphor for our aspirations to rise to our highest potential and greatest good.

EVIDENCE OF ANGELS Arrives


After 3 years of working on my new book,  EVIDENCE OF ANGELS it’s finally here. My lovely editor, Alyson over at HarperCollins just sent me an advance copy. It’s so exciting to hold it in my hands.

I always knew angels were present in my life but I was not aware of their constant guidance and messages until I began working on this book. Day after day the angels guided me to people and places to support me in the creation of this book.

I’m so excited to share this book with everyone.

Listen


I wonder how many of us really listen when someone is speaking to us.

I was at a party recently and a friend was sharing an experience she had with me. While in the grocery store she noticed an old woman struggling to find a bottle in the spice rack. My friend asked the woman if she could help her find what she was searching for. The old woman said she was looking for paprika and it was difficult for her to read the small type on the bottles. After the spice was located the woman began to tell my friend about her life. They spent 45 minutes together in the store as the woman shared deep and meaningful reminiscences of her life. When old woman finished she thanked my friend for listening.  My friend shared her feelings of gratitude for the opportunity to simply listen.

 

I was touched by this story and it made me think about how often life feels too busy to stop and listen. 

We are always being sent messages from angels to support us in living to our highest potential.  This story was gift to remind me to stop and listen to the guidance and wisdom being shared with me everyday.
