Does God rest on Sundays?

Sometimes I would hold fast to ideas that were against the tide of friends’ advice, and now I can look back and see that, even though I didn’t really know what I was doing, it turned out just fine. And when I followed friends’ advice, it turned out just fine too! I’m talking about Heavenletters right now.

In the early days, some truly good friends were advising me with Heavenletters.

For example, I was strongly advised not to send out a Heavenletter every day. After all, God rested on the seventh day. The idea was that it would be too much for me and too much for readers.

All I knew was that at least one Heavenletter a day was being written down, and what would I do with all the extra Heavenletters if I didn’t send them out? It isn’t even really that I thought. It was more like I didn’t know how to get out of it. I wouldn’t or couldn’t stop writing at least one down every day, and that seemed to answer the question for me.

I also personally didn’t believe that God takes days off. I know He doesn’t, although I do believe God wants us to rest. In the case of Heavenletters, rest from what? Rest from that which rests my heart and soul far more than any lounging around?

I later learned the value in daily Heavenletters for me and for those who receive them. I think it’s an exponential thing. The build-up is greater. The importance given to Heavenletters is greater. I also have a feeling that just the sending out may be sending God’s energy out on the airwaves. Maybe the intention to send out Heavenletters every day and the intention to receive every day alone are making wonderful things happen, even if we don’t know what they are.

On the other hand, it was a friend’s idea to offer twice a week subscriptions, which, at first, I resisted. There are over 300 Heavenreaders who subscribe to twice a week. Isn’t 300 out of 3.000 ten percent? Then ten percent of Heavenreaders read them twice a week. I wouldn’t want to be without even one of the twice a week readers.

Subsequently, there has been much valuable advice and support that were total blessings. You know what some of these are. The forum and this blog, for instance!

I am very grateful to everyone who cared enough to advise me although sometimes I didn’t make it easy.

Now I would like to ask you for your ideas.

There must be more that we can do to spread God’s messages in Heavenletters. Perhaps you have ideas that you haven’t told us about. I hope you will send in your ideas. Even wild ideas – let’s have them. Post them here, will you, and let’s see what happens! You could very well have the next great idea that we’ve been waiting for!

This entry made me think a lot and I realized something that made me think even more: In the traditional religion people don’t think much about God during the week, and they turn to Him only on Sundays, when He is supposed to rest. Now, I know many people, especially old people, for whom Sunday is the loneliest day of the week, because they can’t even go to the local bakery to have a chat with the shop assistant. I myself am alone often on Sundays and it’s comforting to know that at least Gloria is there, and that God doesn’t stop sending His messages on Sunday.
There are days when I just can’t concentrate on the contents of a Heavenletter, but I know that the vibration gets to me anyway, and I may read the words another day.
As for the ideas, as I already said to you, Gloria, I think that some small books with the stories like the ones of Veronica and Diane and Molly would be much appreciated. I can already see the story of Diane and Molly, with lovely pictures in it, circulating in the world.
Love,
Paula

Dear Gloria.

Sundays??? I agree with Paula. From past experience I know that when on holiday I miss heaven letters. I have to cancel for the sake of of not overloading my mailbox. I am always glad when back home and resubscribe. I have not got a laptop I could take with me otherwise I would not cancel as I miss it even when I enjoy live with Mieke or friends when away. next month I will be getting a bit more money for the Hat as well. We are slowly getting over Cyclone Larry hat devastated our community and enjoying the growing of my son’s banana trees and other tropical fruits. So Please Gloria keep them coming and thank god from me for the beautiful daily lessons. LOVE LIGHT and Blessings Jack

No way I’m going to stop Heavenletters on Sundays! Everything I receive is yours. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I thank God for all the Heavenreaders who care.

Dear Gloria - thanks for asking for ideas for HeavenLetters. I was one of the original readers of HeavenLetters, and read them daily and religiously for a number of years. Then I found myself reading only a few a week, and then I dropped my subscription for awhile, having found other sources of inspiration that were calling to me. Gloria, in her wisdom, insisted on my continued subscription, and I find myself back reading and looking forward to the daily letters. I have two ideas for HeavenLetters that I would enjoy. One is to publish questions and answers from readers. I experienced the Blessing of this exchange in the early days of the letters, and I believe it might be of value once a week or so, for others. My second idea is to focus upon a particular topic for a few days or a week. I know the letters come through sometimes with a thread of continutiy, and perhaps this could be more intentional. For example, the topic of anger or grace or loss or fear, etc. could be explored in a series of letters. Thanks for asking, Gloris, and thanks for You……Love, Diane

“For example, the topic of anger or grace or loss or fear, etc. could be explored in a series of letters.”

Dear Diana,

I am pretty sure the archive of over a thousand Heavenletters holds tons of readings on this topics. And I heard, the archive is pretty well organized now. Maybe just someone can do a search for a requested topic or so. Just guess….

But what’s about a online chat session with Gloria? Once a month or so. It’s a more direct and live expiriencing kind of communication.

Also just a guess…..

Much Love and Light

So many great ideas you’re giving us. Why didn’t I think of asking for your ideas sooner!

Diane, on this very blog, you will find some personal questions and God’s answers that came through Heavenletters. Does Paula know that you are THE Diane who made a series of questions to God enough to make a precious book called Diane and Molly.

And how well I remember the early days and how many questions and answers there were. And what Adrachin says about archives is true. The “difficulty” is that there are so many Heavenletters! And each Heavenletter often addresses many themes.

I love themes as well. God is the One Who initiates what the topics will be. Remember He said He wanted to set the agenda.

And how happy I am that you are back.

Dear Adrachin, your idea is something to think about. Another thing you make me think of is an online Godwriting workshop made of video, audio, written word, and conference calls. That’s been suggested before.

With love and blessings,

Gloria

Dear all,
I think all ideas are splendid, the small books, the themes, the online chat (although my pc is still not working.. now I’m writing from office..)and also online workshop for Godwriting. I think nothing could equal making this experience directly with our angel Gloria, but if it was available I would surely try it and be most happy about it!
a dear hug to all!
Berit
