Ask and Ye Shall Receivre

 

“Ask and ye shall receive.”

You have heard this phrase before. It's from the Bible, but it has the same teaching in every holy book from every religion.

How do we ask? It's not just like a child's prayer, "God, take care of mama and daddy and have Santa put a bike under the tree for me."

We ask by what we focus on!

Haven’t you met what lots of folks call a worry wart? They always have something new to worry about!

How about a person that lights up the room when they enter? They’re a glass half full type. Always seeing the good in their surroundings. Guess what? They find even more good.

Let me tell you a some of stories...one is very positive and two are not. They're from my life and how I learned about the Law of Attraction.

After extensive fertility testing, my husband and I adopted a perfect baby boy.


When he was two, we decided we didn't want him to be an only child. All the newborns were being adopted by couples who had no kids yet, we were getting older and were having trouble finding another baby. I found a photo in a magazine of what I wanted: A precious blond baby girl in a pretty pink dress. She was smiling and holding on to a ball. I cut that picture out and hung it on the refrigerator. We all walked by it several times each day.

The Christmas holiday approaching, I took a part time job. I began to feel nauseated and had other symptoms. My boss, who had become a friend, said, "If I didn't know you couldn't have kids, I'd think you were pregnant." Guess what? I was!


Seven months later the precious baby girl came off the fridge and into our lives.





Following her were two more boys! We wouldn't trade any of them for anything.

Years later, I found a lump near the tip of my breast. When showing it to my doctor, I was told to get a mammogram...I was overdue for one. I was told by the radiologist "It's just a cyst. It will go away." Did I believe him? No! I researched every kind of breast cancer, the stages, the symptoms, the surgeries, everything about it. I prayed, I spoke to others, I focused on breast cancer. The lump grew! Six months later, my doctor said it needed a biopsy. Of course it was cancer. I had surgery and was in recovery for five years before they said I was cancer free. No photos here, but I lost my favorite nipple, and it was my own fault!

The latest story…I was congratulating myself on being the only person in my apartment building that hadn’t caught covid…maybe the only person in Faribault. The Universe said, “Oh, you want some? Here it is!” That’s what I had focused on, and that’s what I got!

The moral of these stories should be obvious: focus on the positive, what you want and what you love and appreciate, not what you currently have or think you have.

I’d like to know if you have stories of what you have attracted into your life. Let's share! I am passing out sheets of paper. On one side please write something positive that came to you because of your focus. On the other side write at least one that is negative. Then we will exchange papers and share a few of our stories. You do not need to write your name on these sheets. This isn’t a regular school!

Fight or Fright?

Actually, possibly both. My mama used to say that arguing is never worth it. Both parties believe they're right. They are just trying to convince the other person, and it never works. The same goes for arguing political parties and even countries. You know by now that I follow The Law of Attraction. That teaches that 'fighting against' anything just brings more things you want to fight against.  That's just like what you focus your attention on is what you get. Mother Theresa said it best. She once was asked to join in a march against the Vietnam war. Mother Theresa responded, "I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro peace rally, I'll be there." We all have our own beliefs and perspectives. We know we are correct FOR OUTSELVES. Let other people continue according to their choices.

S'mores

If you have read any of my blogs or visited mamaswisdom on Facebook, you know I follow the wisdom of the Law of Attraction. It teaches a concepts called co-operative components. We help each other achieve our goals. It also says on of the reasons we are here is to experience JOY! I regularly receive messages, ideas and inspiration. They come from 'somewhere out there'. Our apartment manager told me Friday that she, her husband, her daughter and friend we going to the cabin. She emphasized how nice it was in the evenings sitting around the campfire making and eating s'mores. (This is the idea I was given) I said, "Before you assemble your 's'more, spread a think layer of peanut butter on each cracker." Monday she said that it was the greatest life hack ever! They all enjoyed it and would never make s'mores any other way. Later that day I was in a friend's apartment. She had someone there already. I told her about giving Sam my idea for the s'mor...

I Judge People, Do You?

  I am trying not to judge...it is difficult for me. I have believed even before I studied A Course in Miracles and the Law of Attraction, that in any moment in time, people do what they feel they must do. Maybe it's because of their beliefs, their upbringing, their environment, who knows. But if we, and others, do the only thing we feel we must do, how can blame for anything be assigned? And who am I to judge other people, anyway. I know we have different beliefs, different perspectives. So if my judgement is due to their outfit, to how they destroy the English language when they speak, to the fact they don't recycle correctly, or an action they take ,it doesn't matter. They probably judge some of the same things in me. As far as that last sentence goes, I don't really care about other people's opinions of me. That's something I learned from the Law of Attraction. I hope I am making sense here. Sometimes I think I confuse myself.  I have not believed in Hell fo...
