I am All that I am

Every morning I enjoy a bit of a ceremony. After enjoying a few sips of coffee, my cat, Sage, will make his way into my presence. He will sit patiently at my feet and wait for me to pick him up. After I pick him up, he will sit on my lap and receive his morning nurturing. I then carry him to his food dish, sit him down and replenish his food and water dishes with fresh food and water.
I then let the dog out. I replenish his food and water dishes with fresh food and water also.

One morning as I was contemplating my actions, I thought about how these seemingly insignificant actions are also reflected in my family. I realized that it gave me great pleasure in knowing that I am conscious of their likes and dislikes. Not only am I conscious of them, I am also okay with many of their preferences.

Recently , Paul and Joie decided that they are not liking chicken as much as they used to. There are many dinner dishes that I prepare that call for chicken. I could have thrown a fit and said “fend for yourselves”. (Not really, because that is not who I am)
What is important to me is that they receive nourishment and that they enjoy their meals. One of our old favorite dishes, Rosa’s Chicken and Rice, has now been transformed to Rosa’s Rice and Olives. They really love the olives!!

In further contemplation, I realized that I take my pets to the best vet and to the best groomer. That when I go on vacations I want to make certain that they also have the best care while I am gone. I realized that this desire, to support my family in a loving and nurturing way, is a natural out flowing of all that I am.

And then it hit me; Am I greater than God?

How is it that I can so desire to want the best for all of those that I love and at the same time think that God might want something less desirable for me?

I cannot be greater than God, can I?
That would invalidate everything that I believe.

There is a passage in the bible that says, “what person is there among you, when your child asks for a loaf, will give him a stone?
“Or if your child should ask for a fish, you will not give her a snake, would you?”
“If you know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Source give what is good to those who ask of It.”

I believe that every parent desires the best for their children.
Even if their “child” is a pet.

This desire within us to give, bless and support our loved ones is a wonderful reflection of the Source of our being.
Jesus said, “I can only do that, which I see the Father do.”

Your desires are not greater than God, they are God!

I am realizing that the challenge with aligning with a Source that is as ever desiring of all good things for me, as I am for my family and friends, is not a challenge with God or The Source of all Creation.
However, the challenge lays with who I think I am. And what I think and believe about this Source.

A Kennedy cannot ever, not be, a Kennedy.
A Hilton cannot ever, not be, a Hilton.
A Trump cannot ever, not be, a Trump.
As children in these families they enjoy all of the benefits of that family.

I am a Divine Child of God.
I cannot ever, not be, a Divine Child of God.

The story of the prodigal son is a beautiful illustration of a child, when in his darkest hour realized, by contemplating, that he was the child of prosperity.
He returned to his Source, certain that he would not be turned away. And he was greeted with more than he expected and all of the glory he had before he lost sight of who he was.

There is a trust fund, established in your name.
The Mother of all creation has declared, “All that is mine is thine.”

Do you dare to claim your inheritance?

Do you dare to contemplate a loving and nurturing, prosperous and joyful giver in your Source?

Do you dare to recognize that you are your Divine Mothers’ child?

Do you dare to claim that all that you desire, your Creator desires for you?

Receive a Breath. You are Loved.
