Flip the Switch

Post 176

One of the first things I do upon waking up is read the “verse of the day” on the YouVersion app, and the reading for the day from whatever plan I'm on. I decided to start that years ago as I way to show God that I want Him to be number one, first priority.

I don’t always without fail do it first, but I’m pretty consistent. This is also when I first pray for various people, many who read this blog, some of whom I've never met in person. I’m somebody who can easily stop and pray multiple times a day when someone enters my mind though.

I now see all prayer partly as sending light, energized particles into the vicinity/energy field of the other person. The more prayer somebody gets, the more light particles mix in with their energy/soul. The light particles stay affixed if they mostly have other light particled people in their spheres, but can get mixed with dark particles if that's the energies/souls who they associate with the most.

This is the theme my young friend S and I have as a plot in our book, but it works for me envisioning this while praying, too.

I then play Wordle, send my result to Rock 2, sometimes text about something with her, and then I go into substack to see if anybody “liked” or commented on the most recent post.

Today I was thrilled to see that one reader had given me a good idea on how to get the poem from yesterday copied in here. As I re-read the poem while copying and pasting into my notes app, it almost “flipped a switch” in me today to not be sad. I'm sharing the poem now. I still teared up but I want to live like it says to.

A beautiful love letter from those who have passed on…

“Take the love you have for me

And radiate it outwards

Allowing it to touch and impact others

Take the memory you have of me

And use it as a source of inspiration

To live fully, meaningfully and intentionally

Take the image you have of me in your mind

And allow it to fuel you

To take action

Seize the day

And be reminded of what is most important in life

Take the care you have for me

And let it remind you

To care for yourself fully

And shower yourself with your own love

And take the pain and grief you feel

Following my loss

And alchemize it into

Love, compassion and beauty

Build a castle

From the wreckage of my passing

And allow it to unlock your greatness and potential

And empower you to become more than you ever thought you were capable of being

And know that I can never truly leave you

And will always remain beside you

Watching over you in spirit

And that the love I have for you lives on

Through the connections you form

The kindness and compassion you share

And the future relationships and friendships you cultivate

And until we are one day reunited

I will remain with you

Through the storms and chaos of life

And am always beside you

Walking with you, laughing with you, crying with you and smiling with you

And I am proud of you for being strong

I am proud of you for being brave

And I am proud of you for being you”

I decided to listen to two more NDE videos on my walk this morning on the Little Cove Transformer route (no GBH), both involving drowning victims this time. I get a little freaked out when some of what they say is not directly eluded to in The Bible, and we all have to know that the angel of darkness can disguise himself as the angel of light, but these people live transformed lives of goodness after these experiences, which is not the result of associating with darkness.

When I direct my thoughts to Morgan being exactly where the Creator wants her to be in her current position of eternity, in a realm 1,000 times better than here apparently, how can I stay sad?

But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control.
