Dear God for 1-21-08 from River

ANGELS IN THE POST OFFICE

Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. She dictated and I wrote:

Dear God,

Will you please take special care of our dog, Abbey? She died yesterday and is in heaven. We miss her very much. We are happy that you let us have her as our dog even though she got sick. I hope that you will play with her. She liked to play with balls and swim before she got sick. I am sending some pictures of her so that when you see her in heaven you will know she is our special dog. But I really do miss her.

Love, Meredith Claire

P.S. Mommy wrote the words after I told them to her.

We put that in an envelope with two pictures of Abbey, and addressed it to God in Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith stuck some stamps on the front (because, as she said, it may take lots of stamps to get a letter all the way to heaven) and that afternoon I let her drop it into the letter box at the post office.

For a few days, she would ask if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.

Yesterday there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch. Curious, I went to look at it. It had a gold star card on the front and said "To Meredith" in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith took it in and opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers, "When a Pet Dies". Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God, in its opened envelope (which was marked Return to sender: Insufficient address). On the opposite page, one of the pictures of Abbey was taped under the words "For Meredith" We turned to the back cover, and there was the other picture of Abbey, and this handwritten note on pink paper:

Dear Meredith,

I know that you will be happy to know that Abbey arrived safely and soundly in Heaven! Having the pictures you sent to me was such a big help. I recognized Abbey right away. You know, Meredith, she isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me--just like she stays in your heart--young and running and playing. Abbey loved being your dog, you know. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets, so I can't keep your beautiful letter.

I am sending it to you with the pictures so that you will have this book to keep and remember Abbey.

One of my angels is taking care of this for me. I hope the little book helps. Thank you for the beautiful letter. Thank your mother for sending it. What a wonderful mother you have! I picked her especially for you. I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much!

By the way, I am in heaven but wherever there is love, I am there also.

Love, God and the special angel who wrote this after God told her the words.

That is wonderful, really touching. Nice that someone took it upon themselves to go beyond the call of their job and be a post office angel.

We had a favorite family hamster pass recently. Little 'Queen as a Bean' was the sweetest littlest white puff of a creature, and it was hard to see her go.

I'm sorry Mark. But we will see our beloved pets again, I am sure of it. I started out with this story for a reason. And this will be just a short post as I have an appt. soon. There are many 'splits' in the way people are thinking right now. There are those standing up in the light to the less fortunate ones of lower vibrations, yet also have given great thought and time to ascension. There are those that have not even started to wake up as yet. And there are those that are concentrating so hard on ascending into a light being before death that sometimes I think they are also going back to sleep. Service to our brothers and sisters, mother earth, our animals, every 'cell' that has come into this time space experiment with us, the ONENESS that we all are, could this not possibly be our lesson to learn now? My belief is that we are already very ascended beings. In fact, I am right now dieing a long and very cruel death which makes me think alot about death. I know that being ascended during this lifetime or after will be the same, so as long as we are in this 'experiment' why not live the lives we have taken on in service...as in the long run it is I AM that we give service to.
Little things, big things, anything we are capable of doing to ease the suffering of the rest. I believe that is our mission and we are being tested big time aren't we? Of course everyone thinks differently, so I am not demanding that I am right and no one else is. These are only my thoughts. In fact, I believe we are 'God's' thoughts given free will. We are all One. Please comment if you like. I will be back tomorrow. Hugs River

Well, I just ran across one of Abraham's channelings. It shows me that if we want the desired changes in this world, then we should be holding on to that vision and not to let what is going on override it, for in the long run...if we don't disconnect from our desired wishes then it shall be.

Hold to Your Vision

Guest: I have a very great discord where humans are and the way we live with
the world around us, nature [ . ] I see where we are right now and where we
could be and it's that distance between them that causes me a lot of
discomfort.

Abraham: Not True. And you're really going to like this.

It isn't the discord between how it is and how you want it to be that's
causing your problem, it's the discord between the dream that you've dreamed
and the vibration that you are holding. That's big if you can hear that. [.]

It's your own vibrational discord that you always feel. So as you look at
the world and you see things you don't want to see, it causes you to launch
rockets of desire about the improved way of life on the planet. And the
Source within you rides those rockets and holds that vision and when you
look at 'what is' you are not a match to the vision you've given birth to.

And so it's your own vibrational discord that's equals your uneasiness, not
what's happening in the world. [.]

If your happiness depends on those conditions changing then you will never
feel joyful. You have to accept that you can control the way you feel by
holding to your vision, and if enough of you do that in your time-space
reality, the changes begin to take place.

When the contrast that you are living causes you to birth an idea this
time-space reality has the wherewithal to fulfill it.

But when you don't flow in the direction of it, you feel bad because you are
forsaking your own vision.

A holy man was having a conversation with God one
day and said, "Father, I would like to know what
Heaven and Hell are like."

So God led the holy man to two doors.

He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in.
In the middle of the room was a large round table. In
the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which
smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth
water.

The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly.
They appeared to be famished. They were holding
spoons with very long handles that were strapped to
their arms and each found it possible to reach into the
pot of stew and take a spoonful. But because the
handle was longer than their arms, they could not get
the spoons back into their mouths.

The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and
suffering.

God said, "You have seen Hell."

They went to the next room and opened the door. It
was exactly the same as the first one. There was the
large round table with the large pot of stew which made
the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped
with the same long-handled spoons, but here the
people were well nourished and plump, laughing and
talking. The holy man said, "I don't understand."

"It is simple," God said. "It requires but one skill.
You see they have learned to feed each other,
while the greedy think only of themselves.. "

Haha, that's great. Serves to illustrate the point well that side-by-side here on the Earth there are those that are living heaven and those that are living hell. They might even be walking down the same street next to each other. One feels their connection with Source, enjoys the breeze, the beautiful sky and those walking by, while the other is filled with feelings of separateness, guilt, anger and fear of those around them.

Hope you are doing well River, good to hear from you again.
