Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Dear and my Sisters and Brothers on the journey: Happy, Healthy,Prosperous 2010 ! I had a vision during meditation this morning, but first just a bit of background to explain why I believe I experience this vision: I have had a large measure of responsibility for family members for 26 years, and have had to put my own feelings aside, ignore them, and just do what was required to fulfill those responsibilities, to the degree that I no longer knew what I was feeling. I have been in this state for years now. In the past few days, after spending several days at my daughter's house, when I returned home I realized for the first time in years that I am very unhappy, due to the circumstances which have become overwhelming. I felt enormous grief and very alone, aware that no one in my family realizes the enormity of my burnout; and aware that they are unlikely to acknowledge it ever, since to do so would require them to also acknowledge their part in the circumstances. So I had begun to " feel " again, but my feeling were painful and without hope that the circumstances would change any time soon. As I meditated, I " saw " Jesus on the cross and focused my gratitude on his suffering and I felt my devotion to Him, which grew as I watched Him. As my devotion grew, I felt the tears flowing and the scene changed: Jesus was sitting on a stone seat, cut out of a rock wall. His clothing was dusty as were His feet. I knelt before Him, weeping and kissing His feet, feeling both devotion for Him, and grief in regard to my circumstances and the relationships with my loved ones. ( I experienced this two ways: As a participant in the action and as an observer of myself and Jesus; both simultaneously.) I felt that Jesus knew what I was feeling, both the devotion and the despair, and I felt His unconditional love for me, which opened the floodgates of my soul. I felt His understanding and acknowledgement of my attempts to live His will in my life. Then He placed both His hands on my head and began to speak to me softly in a language I didn't understand, but realized was Aramaic, His native tongue while on earth. I understood that He was blessing me, accepting me just as I was, and offering me His unconditional love. As He continued to speak, the vision faded, but I felt clean and whole and at peace. It was beautiful and so very healing, and my unhappiness was gone, replaced by the Promise of His ongoing Presence.] Peace, Joy and Love Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 It's so nice to hear from you Diane; you have been in my heart (and your keyboard appears fixed). I wanted to acknowledge your post, yet it is one so deep for me, that it leaves me here lurking- awaiting others to articulate what I cannot manage to on my own. Love to you blessed Diane. -Danielle , Diane Baugh <cdgbdronningen wrote: > > I had a vision during meditation this morning, > Peace, Joy and Love Diane > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Hi Diane, thank you for sharing this; I get a sense of the presence of Christ as I read this, and I am taken back to some experiences where He has presented Himself to me, and I have been left with the deep knowing that, underneath and supporting the suffering of this earth, all things are suspended in a sea of love and one of the gifts of that love is an unbridled peace and sense of wellbeing. love and strenth for the challenges of your household.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Bruce: thank you for sharing this; I get a sense of the presence of Christ as I read this, and I am taken back to some experiences where He has presented Himself to me, and I have been left with the deep knowing that, underneath and supporting the suffering of this earth, all things are suspended in a sea of love and one of the gifts of that love is an unbridled peace and sense of wellbeing. Deb: I wasn't going to mention this, but I also had a very vivid dream of Christ in February, 2006. I was in a very old, ancient, concrete building and he was kneeling before me washing my feet. No words were spoken, only that he flooded me with this incredible unconditional love. This was shortly after Katrina and at a time in my life when I was feeling particularly depressed and unworthy and down on myself. I wanted to tell the whole world about this unconditional love. I created several videos the next year that were inspired by this dream, but abandoned the project after my dog was stolen. Still have them. Maybe one day.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Sorry about your stolen dog Deb... it reminded me of a dream I had a couple of weeks ago. I was looking at a magazine rack, and of the hundreds of magazines, one caught my eye in the back. It was beautiful, a glittery purple cover with diamond hearts speckled throughout. I opened it up and the first page said " Horses I have loved " and photos of all the horses I have had were there. The next page was titled " Missing Dogs " and photos of many missing dogs were there. I find the missing posters of children particularly sad, but since I don't have children I seem to have put dogs in the missing photos instead (we have two dogs). So what I gathered from this dream, was despite the harshness and losses, it is still a beautiful world and life.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hey Carla - what a beautiful dream - it brings me so much comfort! Thank you so much for sharing. From now on, I will always think of my dog as being in your book! I too, think of the missing children and how I better understand what the families of these children are going through. As your dream so eloquently describes, all of the " missing " are whole and perfect in this " book of life " in another heavenly dimension.
