Fairy Tales

Naturally, I think a lot about Godwriting™, the process, and how it possibly came to me. When I really think about it, I can’t quite believe it. Every morning for about twelve years, I have been receiving beautiful Heavenletters™, and still it hasn’t quite sunk in. That I actually Godwrite™ seems like one of the 7 Wonders of the World. Sometimes I think I am living in a fairy tale.

This is how it is like to me: I was sleeping. God came to me and bent down and gave me a gentle kiss, and I rubbed my eyes and sat up and found myself in a palace! I am still rubbing my eyes.

This morning the Heavenletter that I heard given to me referred to fairy tales, to Beauty and the Beast, the Frog Prince, and Cinderella. Believe me, I know what Cinderella felt like before and after her prince came.

Of course, I realize that all Godwriters™ probably aren’t writing down letters from God that contain references to fairy tales the same way as all Godwriters are not writing down God’s words in the English language.

Although all my life, I had not one single recognizable clue as to what my future would hold, now, when I look back, I see small things that I like to wonder about. I can’t say these are clues I wonder about because they may be totally insignificant and not have anything to do with anything. They may be coincidences. They may not even be coincidences. They may be examples of my doing the best I can with what I have, or maybe examples of God’s doing what He can with what He has. But, of course, God can do anything anyway!

Getting back to today’s Heavenletter (the one written down that won’t come out until about two months — we’re that far ahead!) with references to fairy tales in it. I am always delighted when fairy tales come up in a Heavenletter. I gain a new interpretation, not that I had ever really interpreted fairy tales before. I just always enjoyed them not knowing why, and I love them still.

Heavenletters and fairy tales both seem to work from a deeper level.

Anyway, I was thinking: I always loved fairy tales. I especially loved fairy tales. I cannot imagine my childhood without them.

And then I wondered: Is it possible that God was grooming me for Heavenletters way back then? Did God envision Heavenletters with references to fairy tales in them?

Of course, I like to think that’s so, but why would God? Why would He?

And then I was thinking altogether: Are we all being groomed for something? And, if we are, do we sometimes not know we have fulfilled it? I can pretty much say that Godwriting is what I’m supposed to be doing, and I know I’m doing it. Of course, there are further unknown purposes that God could come up with.

I think of my parents who, in effect, stayed Cinderellas all their lives. They worked so hard. I don’t think they had much magic in their lives, if any at all. Life was survival and, in good times, just getting along. They did not have fairy tales. They did not have God, consciously, that is.

And yet their daughter came out of the ashes.

And that’s how sometimes my mind works.

What do you think about?

I confess you, Gloria, than when I really think of it, that I listen to God through you, I can’t believe that too.
When I was a child I could malinger just to stay home and read fairy tales in my bed, on huge and heavy old books with beautiful illustrations, while thinking of all other poor children at school ( to the teacher in you I say that I was very good at school, I knew I could lie, now and then, with no harm).
“Are we all being groomed for something?”, I wonder too, but I have no answer.

Gloria,

I remember enjoying fairy tales as a child. What I remember and loved the most is that fairy tales could transport my mind up,up and beyond the mundane; beyond boundaries of time and space . . . to other dimensions and back again. To other realms of reality that were fascinating and charming. . . Thanks for your keen observations that definitely helped me to remember childhood in a way that I have not reflected on in some time.

I lived from and in fairy tales when I was a little girl. They seemed more real to me than the ‘real’ life. What I loved most was the fact that there was always a happy ending. So I was at peace in living fully the excitement and the fear, because I knew everything would be fine in the end. It was wonderful to discover how the tale would bring me there. - Now that I think of it, maybe this is the teaching I needed to learn from them.
Thank you, Gloria, for bringing this up.

Beloved Emilia, I thank you especially for your first sentence!

Beloved Betty Jean, I, too, hadn’t been thinking of fairy tales, and, yet, I never forgot them.

Beloved Jack, we sure will miss you and all your love, and yet we have to be glad that you and Mieke are going to have a wonderful time. God bless you.

Beloved Paula, I cannot imagine the barrenness of life without fairy tales, the real ones, not the prettied-up ones.

I wonder if we have seven Heavenletters with reference to fairy tales and whether they could be compiled into a 7-letter Heaven book. I wonder.

Ghee, this post is better than better. It has to go into The Little Things, word for word.

I read this morning’s Heavenletter and I was thinking pretty much the same. How in the world do Heavenletters happen? That I don’t know. However it is clear why God sends them out through you. And that this miracle is expanded by Godwriting Workshops…wow.

We are all being groomed for this moment, now.

There is this tale about a bird called Geta that rose from the ashes. Has anyone read that one?

Beloved One, I am not sure about a bird called Geta that rose from the ashes. Wait a minute. Do you mean Gitte Fagel!

Why do you think Heavenletters come to me?

Reply from Chuck Gebhardt on February 4, 2010

Yes, Santhan, I agree with you that we are all being groomed. What a wonderful and re-assuring insight! We are being groomed by our Creator in every moment. We are being groomed by every aspect of His creation. We are being groomed through every interaction with everyone one of His children. To me, the question is not whether or not we are being groomed but whether we are aware that this marvelous grooming is ongoing and of where it is taking us. We don’t need to be aware that it is happening, it will happen anyway, it is God’s Will. But isn’t it so much more fun to know what is really going on?

Gloria, I’m not sure who your question is directed toward, but I will venture an answer. Heavenletters come through you for specific reasons of which I have no means of knowing what they are. What I feel I do know is that if there was a better person through which these specific letters might come to us, that person would be receiving them instead of you. Let us count our many blessings and be grateful for the wonderful way these things have been arranged!

Gloria,it seems may be God felt that your way of storytelling, and composing could be part of the reason. And you have this sense of wonderment about you, which keeps the letters innocent.

When I first learned to read, and I was a very good reader from the beginning, I read every fairy tale I could get my hands on. I loved them and learned a lot from them. My life was such that they were my teachers when I needed them. I was the main character as I, too, lived in them. Just this past week I was telling my 6 year old Drama Queen granddaughter about the Boy Who Cried Wolf…I think kids need to read these, but boy, it seems that they might be too “frightening” for them. Hmmmm. I did ok with them…seems to me they are more educational than video games.
As far as you being the channel for these letters, Gloria, why not you?? And God uses what we have stored within from our life experiences to bring forth the messages. In your case, fairy tales are stored within you. Isn’t it wonderful how that works? It’s why all our letters have different flavors.
hugs,
Dorothy
