Hello All,
I have intimate family members. I do focus more on their lives, and their days, than others. After all, we have chosen to travel together, and for good purpose. They are part of my intensive classroom.
That said, my view of "My Family" has changed.
My family has become whoever I am with in the moment, looking at their eyes, accepting a relationship with them for however long our encounter may be, choosing to be generous, kind, understanding, and fair in all circumstance, and for whatever I do not understand forgiving this away.
This is no easy task, yet one that just makes good sense to me, demonstrates Jesus teaching of "Love One Another," and causes me to feel Blessed. I feel a sense of abundance, feel energized, motivated, and whole when I make this choice, and follow through. What I speak becomes words not my own, what I do becomes effortless, and the outcomes I receive validate my decision.
The difficulty of this choice is letting go of all control, ending all wish to manipulate, and forgiving away any desire to convince, influence, or teach. In other words I simply choose to recognize another as myself, a Child of God, and do nothing more. What we do together become superfluous, what we are together is known as magnificent.
