The Greatest Gift From God
- The Gift of Love: A Short Story
It had been a little over a year since Stewart's wife had died. He felt like a part of him died when she left this Earth plain. It was not until an Earth Angel arrived in his life that he realized that his wife never really left; she had only changed
The Gift
We have been given the greatest gift of all time. It is something that poets, songwriters, and philosophers have been telling us for a very long time. It is a force that exists in each one of us. In fact, this amazing force has the potential to transform our world. We were created from this extraordinary force. Leo Buscaglia has said that we were born for it.
This beautiful gift is called love.
It is often mistaken only as an experience between two lovers. But the love I am referring to is much deeper. It is unconditional. It is a love that transcends boundaries, as well as time and space. It is the force that connects us together. What inspired this article was a video that I watched on Youtube, as well as an observation of unconditional love that a family demonstrated to one another. When each member spoke, everyone’s undivided attention was on the speaker. They were fully present. It was more than obvious that they respected and valued each other. I could feel the love that they shared with one another. This made my heart sing. However, not all families treat each other this way.
One time while delivering a pizza to a customer’s house, I witnessed a mother cuss out her young toddler. It broke my heart to see that the mother had forgotten the wonderful gift she was given. We are told by profound thinkers and wise teachers that our children are our future. It should be more than obvious that if we do not honor and respect our children, we will not have a future.
On a positive note, I am honored to have friends in my life that honor and value children. Some are teachers that go beyond traditional teaching and bring about transformation in their students lives. Other friends are loving parents that fill their children’s lives with love.
It is quite amazing to see this beautiful dance of love that goes on between family members.
My heart fondly remembers a time when my father took my sister and me to a new shopping center that was built in Riverside. It was 1978. It was the special quality time that we spent together that mattered the most to me. We were a family showing love to one another. And now, thirty plus years later, this magical feeling still surfaces whenever I visit the shopping center. My heart also fondly remembers when my aunt took my sister and me to the arcade, as well as baking us fresh candy. As a child, we look up to adults. They are our heroes. We try to emulate them. We want to be like them when we grow up.
"Spirit Science 20 - Water"
The Amazing Power of Water
You may not be aware of this, but water can teach us about the importance of love.
How is that possible? It is just water! We often forget that water is a living substance. In fact, without water, life on this planet could not exist. Many are not aware of the fact that water records information. According to Rustum Roy, a professor at the State University of Pennsylvania, as well as a member of The International Academy of Science, informs us that we have to look at the structure of water—"how its molecules are organized." This is a very important fact that many skeptics and scientists overlook. They do not realize that our thoughts, emotions, and intention affect the structure of water. Now, with that being said, what can water teach us about love?
I recently came across a video entitled “Spirit Science 20 - Water.” It shared a video clip of a documentary that featured Dr. Masaru Emoto, Dr. Rustum Roy, as well as other important researchers talking about the importance of water. Dr. Emoto has shared with the world how beautiful crystals are formed by our thoughts and emotions. For example, the words “love and appreciation” produced an absolutely beautiful crystal formation. On the other hand, negative thoughts and words produced ugly distorted images. Dr. Emoto also shared an experiment in which he filled three beakers with rice and water. Each day, for an entire month, he said to the first beaker, “Thank you”; to the second beaker, “You’re an idiot”; while the third beaker was completely ignored. The results to the experiment were profound. The first beaker produced a pleasant fermenting aroma; the second beaker contained blackened rice; and the third beaker had rotting rice. I was blown away by Emoto’s experiment. This gave scientific proof that humans cannot survive without love. We all know what happens to a child that does not receive love and attention.
Love Is the Answer
My good friend, Marie, understands the importance of love to the world. In fact, the name of her Facebook page is entitled “Love Is The Answer.” This is a profound statement that has the power to transform our world. It transcends culture, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and economic status. It unites us together despite our differences. It is the language of God. It is the answer to our prayers.
Let's share this beautiful gift with the world.
Peace, Love & Light,
