The Full Buck Moon of 2021: An Angel Message

      

This morning when I opened the shades, the full moon was playing peek-a-book with the

palm trees.  Daylight and the moon still aglow beckoned me outdoors.  The full moon this month is known as the Buck Moon, and I thought of the recent deer visits.  Deer gently calls us on a new adventure, and so there I was looking up at the moon in the stillness of a new day. 

 I recalled a poem that went to the moon on two different missions.  It was written by James Dillet Freeman who had been the poet laureate at Unity. It always brings me peace, and so I wanted to share it with you.  

                                                                                                                

                                                                            Do you need Me? 

                                                                           I AM THERE

                                     You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by.

                                    You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.

                                    You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in

                                                                         your hands.

                                    I am at work, though you do not understand My ways.

                                    I am at work, though you do not recognize My works.

                                              I am not strange visions.  I am not mysteries.

                                    Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know

                                             Me as I am, and then but as a feeling and a faith.

                                           Yet I am there.  Yet I hear.  Yet I answer.

                                                    When you need Me, I am there.

                                                    Even if you deny Me, I am there.

                                            Even when you feel most alone, I am there.

                                                        Even in your fears, I am there.

                                                        Even in your pain, I am there.

                                    I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.

                                                    I am in you, and you are in Me.

                                    Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me,

                                    for only in your mind are the mists of "yours" and "mine."

                                    Yet only with your mind can you know Me and

                                                                      experience Me.                   

                                                     Empty your heart of empty fears.

                                     When you get yourself out of the way, I am there.

                                     You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all.

                                                                And I am in all.

                                    Though you may not see the good, good is there, for

                                                                      I am there.

                                           I am there because I have to be, because I am.

                                    Only in Me does the world have meaning; only out of

                                     Me does the world take form; only because of Me does

                                                                 the world go forward.

                                         I am the law on which the movement of the stars

                                                 and the growth of living cells are founded.

                                             I am the love that is the law's fulfilling.  I am

                                         assurance.  I am peace.  I am oneness.  I am the law

                                             that you can live by.  I am the love that you can

                                            cling to.  I am your assurance.  I am your peace.

                                                              I am one with you.  I am.

                                              Though you fail to find Me, I do not fail you.

                                            Though your faith in Me is unsure, My faith in

                                           you never wavers, because I know you, because

                  I love you.

                                                            Beloved, I am there.  

     

                                                                                 --James Dillet Freeman

Aspire to Inspire Before You Expire: An Angel Message

Angel Bumper Plate
   
Angel thoughts are God's pure intuition passing to us.  They are delivered in such a personal way that we know it was meant for us.  A confirmation of good that grabs our attention in the world of form. When this happens, it is a wonderful sign that synchronicity is at play.  Synchronicity, the language of the angels.  And, we realize, that we are not alone.
 
As you go about your day, stay open to signs at play.  What were you thinking when a sudden nudge inspired you to look this way or that?   We can trust in divine timing.  God is Love and fills all space.

Aspire to Inspire Before You Expire is the message on this license plate.  We can drive down the road under the influence of angels.  No one really expires, but our time here has a shelf-life, so the angels encourage us to aspire to use our God-given talents to inspire others and make the world a brighter place because we care. Never under-estimate the power of a smile.

Enjoy your day, and celebrate the gift of life! 

Love and blessings,


Rae Karen

Stretch to Help Out: Angel Message

 A favorite afternoon retreat is often a visit to a nearby lake.  Recently while parked underneath the green leafy cypress tree, while enjoying the beautiful view, my attention was drawn to the sandhill crane family that reside at the lake.  Not far from our car,  I could see Papa crane was in trouble.  He had a piece of plastic caught on his beak.  He kept on pecking the ground, up and down, but couldn't shake the plastic wrap off.  

Eager to help, I started to jump out of the car and retrieve it.  But, then I remembered... we have always respected our distance.  The troubled crane might not understand a sudden close encounter on his behalf.   So, I sat still, watching and praying for a solution. 

Then, an answer appeared.

Stretch, his young son approached.  Curiously watching Dad, he must have wondered, what is the lesson here?   

Silently I kept sending Junior a message to grab it.

Then, in a moment of intuition, the young colt stretched his long neck out to help his father.  It was such a tender scene, and one of great relief as I watched the loving pair.  Stretch knew what to do.  Gently he took the plastic from his Dad's beak and it fell to the ground. 

  Sometimes our family members may need a helping hand, and what joy to discover we have arrived at the right time to help out.  Have a joyful day with the angels, and always remember that you are never alone.  God's loving angels accompany you today and always.  The best is yet to be.

 Love and peace,


Rae Karen
