The First Day of School
The First Day of School
8-12-13
First day of school today for my coworker. She has three children that she adopted about a year ago. Two girls and one boy, all three are children of her irresponsible brother-in-law and his immature wife. So, that is her ministry now, you know? She never thought when she married her husband, that she would end up adopting and raising his brother’s three children after they became orphans and wards of the state. . . Thankfully, she loves it, and the kids love her. But, it was a brave and selfless decision she made to embrace this whole thing, and embark on this journey. So now, she who dared to be the first to love (like God), is touching so many lives in so many ways that I’m sure she never imagined before. And, the children will be different now, and I’m sure they will touch lives in positive ways also that might have never happened without her selfless decision to show them love. Oh, and I should add that she was between jobs when she made the decision. Anyway, she was telling me - that her two girls were so excited about the first day of school that they couldn’t sleep last night! But the boy slept soundly. Ah yes! I remember those first days of school! Yes I do. Never was it sooooo obvious the difference between girls and boys. . . The girls were always so excited to dress up and wear their new clothes and go back to school, and the boys would grouse about having to go back to school, and they especially resented moms that wanted to dress them up all fancy and walk them to their bus stops.
Girls LOVED the first day of school, and guys HATED it.
Many people today proclaim on spiritual websites, that they have ascended and left duality behind by merging and integrating all aspects of male and female energy within themselves. Okay, so this is a test. Gauge just how much you have transcended and balanced your male and female energy right here.
Pretend it is the first day of school – are you happy and excited, or do you hate it and grouse about it? . . . It’s a duality. Those who claim to no longer be ‘trapped’ in duality - have you transcended how you feel about the first day of school?
HOW do you balance THAT? Sleep half the night? I really wanna know. . . If you don’t just paint over everything with a thick coat of apathy, then pray tell, HOW did you merge, balance, and transcend that? HOW do you balance how you feel about the first day of school?
I've heard this answer before many times: "Well I realize now that it is all just an illusion, and so I don't care, and it means nothing to me."
Oh Really?
Laught out loud. I bet not.
