During a Course in Miracles meeting, our MDC facilitator, Bev, described the long gravel road that led to her childhood home. It made
a deep impression on me. I loved hearing how her Dad would take up a collection from the other four houses to fill in the ruts after the rainy season. Her father seemed to be the only neighbor who had a problem driving in
those deep ruts. A good reminder as to how we can get
complacent in our ruts. Her dad had
taught her a great lesson that she valued throughout her life.
Something kind of funny happened the next day. Elliot
and I took a drive out in the country to visit a local orchid warehouse.
When you turn off the main road, a narrow country lane leads through a wide
open field to the nursery building. We hadn't been there since the
hurricane, but as we rolled along the dirt road, gravel had been used to fill
in the ruts!
I laughed, telling Elliot, Bev's father would be happy
about this! The timing was
amusing. I love how the Holy Spirit brings these lessons to light in simple
heartfelt ways. So happy we are traveling the road with Him. Fill in the
ruts.
Another lesson came while soaking in all the lush plants and
vegetation in the large facility. Perfumed orchids gave the place a
heavenly scent. Out in the back area, there was a sign, The Jesus
Lizard. Apparently this fast moving lizard got his name because he's so
lightweight and fast that he can actually run on top of the water to catch his
goal! Curious, we looked down over the barrier wall trying to catch a
glimpse of this Jesus namesake. The area was fairly large, but as our
eyes scanned the surface, he was nowhere to be found.
We were about to move on, when I happened to look up. There
he was.
Enjoy your journey with the Angels.
Love and joyful blessings,
