It is beautiful how sensitive and protective some of us are.

In Heavenletter #2898, Honor Your Heart, God wrote:

The mind may think it’s superior, yet there comes a time when the mind knows it rides in the back seat and is much like a nagging wife.

And then a dear person commented:

I enjoy these letters but was a little taken aback by the reference to the “nagging wife.” My mother was not a nagger and neither am I. My husband, on the other hand, is. Please leave out stereotypical ideas in future letters.

I loved this person for her defense of women. She is not in the habit of arguing with God. It’s just that she came to the rescue of wives everywhere.

It is a stereotypical expression. I sure don’t mind it. It’s colorful language and easily understood by all. The way I see it, God is innocent.

I have to wonder, if the person who wrote in had been the Godwriter™ of that Heavenletter™, would she have heard this expression? Did I hear it because I personally am not bothered by it? And will we ever know? I have been guilty of nagging, backseat driving etc. though I don’t know what that has to do with it.

God once said something about a “threatening wolf,” and someone rose to the defense of wolves, an endangered species. Of course, God loves wolves. He created them. He is responsible for them. Again, to my mind, God was just using a common expression that everyone understands.

I noticed a Heavenletter in which God says:

…dragons chase you. I am telling you that even if a dragon reaches you and devours you, you survive it. Perhaps this dragon is to thank for tossing your awareness squarely to Me.

The real dragon, of course, is your fear. You have been caught up in the dragon’s claws of fear.

To the best of my recollection, no one has come to the defense of dragons!

Wonderful entry! Yes, fear makes us perceive slight (and worse) right and left where only what you call “colorful language” may be intended. Of course, there is also a lot of real intentional slight around, just not in Heavenletters.

As I vaguely remember, Anco did come to the defense of dragons.

I will come to the defence of dragons!

If it were not for the “dragon’s claws of fear” in my life so many times, I would not have been propelled forward to new experiences.

As to the “nagging wife” comment, many of us immediately have this universal image of what a nagging wife feels like. My mother was one, and so was my ex-husband. And I can be as well. And when I am, I try and sit back and feel my way through things. Because I have discovered for myself, that my sub-conscious intent with nagging someone, is to attempt to align them to my way of thinking. I need to let them be themselves, and me be ok with that.

As to your comment Gloria, whether someone else would have “heard” that from God, in their writing, who is to know? From what I can tell, God speaks to each of us, in a way that we can individually understand.

Much love to you tomorrow. If I could be there in Fairfield to help you I certainly would.

God was talking about nagging wives three thousand years ago. If I remember right it was something like better to live up on the rooftop than in the house with a nagging wife. That might have come thru Solomon who had too many wives anyway.

There is a wonderful movie called How To Train Your Dragon about a young Viking boy who goes against his father and the whole community in defense of dragons. Worth seeing in 3-D if possible.

Looking for tomorrow to be a winner!

There was a Heavenletter with something about witches (..craggy or cackling wicked witch I think) and someone commented about that. The phrase “nagging wife” I understand without having to think about it. God uses imagery that we can easily understand.

By the way, I grew up in a world where there was a nagging husband for every nagging wife!

Well well, I love dragons and I do remember that Heavenletter and … I thought of the dragons in “you know who” :-))
I find the pictures God uses wonderful, they are direct and understandable.
It is always interesting when someone or something touches us and a reacting whatsoever in us arises….
love this post dear Gloria, but then I love all…
