Beloved Blog Readers, here are recent examples of my personal Godwriting™. They are God and me one on one. What a range they cover. I couldn’t live without them anymore. Of course, I lived without them for most of my  life — more years than I care to say. Right now I’m just plucking a few samples that stand out for me. 

Here goes:

Gloria to God: Beloved God, just saying hello to you in the morning feels so good.

God: It feels good to Me too.

Gloria: Hello, God.

God: Hello, Gloria.

January 27, 2010:

 

Gloria to God: Hi, God.

God to Gloria: Hi, Gloria!

Gloria: God, often I have noticed that You reflect me in words.

God: And you reflect Me!

Gloria: Are You having fun with me, God?

God: Very much.

Gloria: The title for the Heaven International Cookbook – Beloved Dumpling – do you like it?

God: I love it.

Gloria: And the title for the How to Godwrite book?  Come Play with Me

God: Love it.

Gloria: So far I’m calling the story of my life The Little Things but I think there is a better title. It seems to me right now that there are two themes to the book: Godwriter can come from any where like Cinderella out of the ashes. And how I have changed. How I have grown and yet am still me. It is my understanding that all these books are to be light-hearted?

God: Enough seriousness in the world.

Gloria to God: Good morning, my God. How nice it is to say “my God.” I’m so glad to wake up this morning and hear You whisper the first sentence of a Heavenletter™. And what a Heavenletter. “You stand upon the threshold of My heart.” Thank You, God. If I were attuned, would I hear your whisper every morning? I mean, would it come before I sit down at the computer?

God: It is fine anyway it happens, would you agree?

Gloria to God: Abraham Lincoln’s birthday today. God, yesterday I was so distressed with the computer, I cried.  

God: It is only a computer, Gloria. The computer is not a fairy tale ogre.

February 14, 2010

Gloria to God: Beloved God, when I write to You, I begin to feel Your love. My attention on You brings Your love right to me. My attention on You is the trigger.

God to Gloria: Quite right. Quite right.

 

February 22, 2010

Gloria to God: Beloved God, please help me with the computer so I am not constantly frustrated with it. Perhaps I do not love the computer enough or am not grateful enough when it serves me well, which, of course, it does almost all the time. Formatting is changing on me this morning. I have difficulty finding what I want in certain programs. I do not know how to manage them. I could cry.

 

God to Gloria: Must you feel frustrated?  Can you be stuck without suffering? Do you think that you are supposed to be adept at everything? Isn’t it all right for you to get stuck on the computer? Doesn’t help eventually come?  If you were not impatient, would you feel so frustrated? Impatience leads to frustration. The computer doesn’t cause you frustration. You cause yourself frustration.

 

Gloria: Yes, I understand better. Am I ever going to learn patience, God?

 

God: Are you, Gloria?

Gloria to God: Beloved God, I over-involve myself with people. I let X—- waste my time with emails. It’s like I have no discernment. I invest too much of myself. Y— emails me for help. I call her. She doesn’t call back. [Since I originally wrote this, I received a BEAUTIFUL response.] What am I doing?

God to Gloria: From your point of view, you over-invest. If you did not look for your caring to be reciprocated, you wouldn’t give it a thought. It is not that you over-invest. It is not that you give too much of yourself. It is that you expect a return. When it is not forthcoming, you feel gypped. Then you feel like a fool. When you feel like that, what is leading you? Not love, beloved. Perhaps a wisp of ego. A thread of attachment.

Gloria: You make this very clear, God. Yet, how do I rise above that?

God: You rise above it.
