*(Opening with trust and faith)

*(Opening with trust and faith)

   

   

So, my children, tonight I wanted to acknowledge that physical ache you feel when you stretch your bodies, along with that spiritual gap of uncertainty and surprise when you are confronted with something that might go wrong, and requires so much patience and care.  And then your openness that is so necessary for you to stretch your spirits in a genuine adventure--to go into that huge world out there, surround by an even more unfathomable creation of God’s.  It takes a strong spirit to open in trust and faith like this, yet this is what strengthens you.  So be determined to know it all: because you will.  There are a thousand and one schools out there of every art and science you’ve discovered so far; and a million more.  These are to stretch and strengthen your spirit in embracing whatever comes, and not be daunted there is no end to the adventure either in space or time.  

So, my [[children]], tonight I wanted to [[acknowledge]] that [[physical]] ache you feel when you stretch your [[bodies]], along with that [[spiritual]] gap of [[uncertainty]] and [[surprise]] when you are confronted with something that might go wrong, and requires so much [[patience]] and care.  And then your openness that is so [[necessary]] for you to stretch your [[spirits]] in a genuine [[adventure]]--to go into that huge world out there, surround by an even more unfathomable [[creation]] of [[God]]’s.  It takes a strong [[spirit]] to open in [[trust]] and [[faith]] like this, yet this is what [[strength]]ens you.  So be determined to know it all: because you will.  There are a thousand and one schools out there of every [[The Arts|art]] and [[The Sciences|science]] you’ve [[discovered]] so far; and a million more.  These are to stretch and strengthen your [[spirit]] in [[embracing]] whatever comes, and not be daunted there is no end to the [[adventure]] either in [[Spacetime|space or time]].  

   

   

We pointed to the second phase of giving up an unhealthy habit: after it’s gone, what to fill in that space and time?  What do you fill in eternity with?  That could be kind-of scary in prospect; and is, for so many, just contemplating the giving-up part.  And so trust, my children.  Trust God has given you the means as part of you.  You are endowed with spirit.  You are endowed with creativity.  You’re using it all the time.  Together with all that myriad infinity of other personal beings out there, for company, you’re going to have a good time.  This first, human life of your is truly a trial, yet that trial is what points the way for you to grow.  Lean into it.  Welcome the stretch it takes.  Be unafraid of what lets you know you’re stretching, and growing.
