Heavenletters

What if, in this situation you find yourself in and upset by, that you are to play the role of an exquisite lady or gentleman who always rises above the skirmishes in the world and rescues everyone who happens to be acting the role of an unruly person?

I am in awe of the timeliness of Heaven Letters - I have been saying yes to me and no to the world at times when it is appropriate for my well being and one of my friends of many years has experienced me saying yes to myself...he is experiencing it as me saying no to him and he feels victimized and feels he has 'taken a hit' by my behaviors. He called me yesterday and was in a very foul mood...there were so many things I wanted to say 'in retaliation' but I just kept taking deep breaths and said out loud, "Dear God, what can I say at this moment?" And my friend said, 'you don't have to do or say anything..the ball is in your court...does this mean you won't call me again?" It was really strange and I just kept breathing and at one moment I said to him that he is the creator of his own life and if he wants to create the end of the friendship then that is up to him. The call ended and I got very still and asked God what to do...and I called him back and I reminded him that a long time ago he had said to me that he wanted to be friends..he just enjoyed the company of me as a good friend and I reminded him of how he has been a good friend for many years and at this moment, he seems to have forgotten himself. I told him I really liked this other person who was giving and fun loving and felt a higher purpose and helped others and enjoyed life...he told me he was gonna have to go find this other guy because, in truth, he liked him a lot better than this guy who is depressed, angry and feeling like a victim. It's the first time in my life that I was able to truly pray in the moment and ask God for guidance and open myself up to the response...to get beyond my hurt ego and I am so filled with gratitude that I could experience this....I shall make this a practice and now have a wonderful framework and see myself as an elegant lady with long white gloves and a beautiful gown overflowing with God's love in my heart....
Thank you dear Gloria...what a gift today~!
