When things fall apart, pick up only the pieces that you value.
When life disintegrates, let it reintegrate at a higher level.
There is no need to try to make something out of nothing.
Release and let go and let Good in you change your life.
As I observe relationships falter and drop away, I see people cling to what was or what “could” be.
As I see jobs end and homes go into foreclosure, I observe desperation in hanging on and making wrong.
As I notice tough times and complaining people, I feel depletion of energy and more lack of self respect.
When we lose everything, sometimes we gain far more than we lost.
“When one door closes, another will open. Look for the light!.”
When life seems to fall into disarray, pick up only the pieces you like and move on,
When you have lost your most valued prize, person, talent, look for the next gift, the blessing.
When you have grief, grieve, forgive, trust and choose again.
As I notice the decline of our society’s mores, self respect and mature choices, I ask what will come.
As I see relationships fall apart, I seek the creative solutions and positive resolution of conflict.
As I watch people betray, attack, hurt and speak ill of others, I am concerned for lack of consciousness.
What we give, we receive. What goes around, comes around. What we have done will be done to us.
All this is true until we learn….
Some learn from a gentle word, a soft breeze, a passing glance.
Some ignore and keep going against the grain, until they lose everything.
Wakeup calls come in all levels of intensity.
When we see it takes a disaster for us to notice and change our ways, we are forewarned to wake up.
When we become conscious, we can look for comfort and fall asleep again or stay conscious.
When we are willing to be an awakened being, we take full responsibility for everything in our lives.
When we take responsibility and stop the “blame game”, we are at choice, in charge and consistent.
Life with its ceaseless changes is designed to be played and enjoyed consciously.
When we take advantage of our “good life” and good job and good wife and good world, we fall asleep.
While we are asleep, we fail to care for what we love with daily appreciation and contribution.
When we don’t feed the good with like Goodness, our Good is starved and we go hungry.
Take time today to look around and feed the Good in your life with Abundant Goodness.
Give your world another look and fully appreciate those you love and admire.
Honor what you have created by keeping it all in Good order and sharing its value with others.
Keep nothing for yourself and stop feeding your greed by tending only your own garden.
Life is a gift. Treat it with great respect and always acknowledge the Giver.
Loving you,
Betty Lue
A man who lived on the northern frontier of China was skilled in interpreting events.
One day, for no reason, his horse ran away to the nomads across the border.
Everyone tried to console him, but his father said, "What makes you so sure this isn't a blessing?"
Some months later his horse returned, bringing a splendid nomad stallion.
Everyone congratulated him, but his father said, "What makes you so sure this isn't a disaster?"
Their household was richer by a fine horse, which his son loved to ride.
One day he fell and broke his hip.
Everyone tried to console him, but his father said, "What makes you so sure this isn't a blessing?"
A year later the nomads came in force across the border, and every able-bodied man took his bow and went into battle.
The Chinese frontiersmen lost nine of every ten men.
Only because the son was lame did the father and son survive to take care of each other.
Truly, blessing turns to disaster, and disaster to blessing.
the changes have no end, nor can the mystery be fathomed.
