Creator-based® Signatures

 

I hope you had a lovely Mother’s Day yesterday.  Women are so important to the world!

When I was a little girl, my Mom made my school lunches.  I had an Archie Comic Book lunch box- Veronica was my favorite.  All the little kids carried lunch boxes.

Then the day came that I grew up enough to have a brown paper bag for lunch instead of a lunchbox.  That was a special day.  All the big kids at school had brown paper bag lunches.  I coveted the crisply folded paper and its neatly creased and pointed corners.  I wanted that.

I remember the pride I felt carrying my “bag lunch” to school.  My Mom wrote my name on the lunch in her strong, determined (probably incredibly busy and stressed) cursive handwriting.  I loved her handwriting and was proud of her beautiful style.  

Mom had a perfect signature, and I sought to emulate it.  I would recognize it anywhere. It looked just like my Grandmother’s.  Still today, my heart smiles when I see it. 

It is much like that with our Creator.   As we move through our days, we recognize our Creator’s signature?  Does your heart smile as you see it? Do you know it as well as you know your Mom’s handwriting?

Recognizing is an important part of listening.

Listening by noticing and hearing our Creator’s signature in the world.

Listening by getting quiet.

Listening by staying mindful.

Listening by embracing compassion with and from others.

Listening and creating hope.

I will never forget my mom’s handwriting; it led me to my Creator.  His signature, listening to his voice, succors me with compassion, mindfulness, and hope.

All my love,

Beth

Creator-based® Consiousness

  Monday Morning Inspiration June 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00230 This made me giggle- we have so many choices and options that sometimes I forget that behaving “becomingly” is an option…. I hope you become what you want to be today. Do you sometimes feel like a 'woman without"? You may be familiar with the Bible story told of a poor widow bringing her offering to the temple.  It was such a small amount, a mite. It was not even enough to buy her bread and cheese for a single meal.  Would it really make any difference? Yet she was commended because “She of her want cast in all she hath.” Her society had defined her as a ‘woman without.’  She was a woman without a husband, a woman without means, a woman without a fancy house, but was she truly a woman without anything?    Do you sometimes define yourself as a ‘woman without’?   'Women without' = women without a job, women without children, women without the coolest phone, women without a great friend gro...

  Monday Morning Inspiration April 22 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00229 Hey friend, Let’s talk  Creation .  Paul taught the Philippians, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”  That’s a bold declaration of the faith that Paul had in his omnipotent Creator.  Faith is the power that creates and moves  all things.  Now, don’t abandon ship here- this is not a Sunday School lesson.  Faith is what you used to turn on your lights this morning, remember?  Faith is what you used to start your car too.  You believed the light would turn on if you flicked the switch you wouldn’t have taken the action to do it.  I know you have faith. You’ve got this.     Let’s go back to the first step of that formula for creating your one, amazing life.  If you could feel something you really wanted to feel, what would that feeling be? I wanted to feel happy.  I thought I had put together my one, perfect, happy life....
