I have another opportunity to go too dinner and have a beer with my Dad tonight.  He really likes going to this little town next too where we used to live and reminisce with old friends or family that he knows.  His short term memory is all but gone.  He has too write down every thing he wants to do and keep checking his list throughout the day.  I was just at his house visiting and he pulled his list out about 5 times while I was sitting with him. 

So I use my time with my dad to listen closely and to share in the joy of getting to know him all over again.  Mom died on Mothers day this year and I can tell he is hungry for some socialization and so am I.  So we can help each other in this communion.

I spoke again this morning at "ACIM Gather on Paltalk.com".  I was extremely nervous again this morning and not very coherent but I recognized and admited to my fear and confusion, which is what listening to myself is all about right now.  Seeing I was in my wrong mind allowed me to choose again what voice I wanted to listen too and so I turned to Holy Spirit for help.

My answer came in the form of loving support from those present at Gather listening to me.  Their support came in varous ways.  Mostly I was ignored and that helped me not too reinforce my thinking.  As well, a couple others congratulated me on my recognition of the fear dwelling within me.

I am truly blessed and being held in the Grace of God.  Thank you Holy Spirit for taking my struggles and transforming them into  lessons of forgiveness.

Thank you for reading and thank you for any comment you happen to feel guided to offer up.

Peace, Joy, and Love to all.

    Take advantage of all this time with you get with your father. I”d do anything to get 10 minutes with mine again. He died about 6 years ago and the last time I saw him was when I was 21. I would love to just have those minutes with him.

    Every moment you do spend with him now will stick with you forever. Cherish them.
