No, No, No, or at least not always. Sometimes it is through the words of a song we hear on the radio or it may be a line from a book or newspaper we are reading. Yes I still read a newspaper once in a while.

It may be from the lips of a small child or even our mother in law or other irritating people and no I did not say my mother in law is an irritating person for I do not have such a thing at this time.

We may be walking down the street. No I AM NOT a streetwalker although I do walk down the street. As I was saying we may be walking down the street and happen to catch a part of a conversation.

As you can see messages may come to us in many ways. I have been angry at someone and banged my head really hard getting in the car. The message may have been for me to be more cautious getting in the car or it may have been about the anger.

Part of receiving messages is deciphering them after we receive them. Also part of it is recognizing the message when we receive them. Sometimes the message comes in just the way our life is working.

Going well the message is good job continue as you are. Life is hard and rough the message is stop where you are and take inventory.

Most times our lives are difficult for we are or have made wrong choices. As much as we would like to blame others most of the time it is our own choices and decisions that have brought us to where we are.

I would love to blame my alcoholic father and grandfather or my heroine addicted mother or even the Southern Baptist guardians for how I am now. The truth is that I am where I am now because of choices and actions I made.

Yes that I made. Once on my own then it was up to me to change my life and make it what I wanted.

It may have been I didn't have the training or education I needed but then if not it was up to me to get what ever I required. The truth is I didn't for what ever reason and now at 66 instead of being independent I find myself depending on Spirit for my every need.

Not really a bad life. It just really makes one grateful for all they have and receive. Now more than ever I want to help others in overcoming their day to day difficulties.

Believe me if you have a good companion in your life be grateful. It is lonely getting to this stage with no one to share it with.

There again no ones fault but my own. I made bad choices and decisions about who I chose and my actions with those I did choose.

So now I have my computer on my lap and it even gives me head aches, boy does it. Any way know that it all starts and ends with us. Where ever we are it was only us that allowed it to happen. Once we accept that then we can begin to move forward in a direction of our choice.

My choice is to love and believe in YOU.
