Sharing Miracles

by Rev. Gail Hamley, O.M.C.

Rev. Gail HamleyIn Lesson 159: I give the miracles I have received, the message is about forgiveness and seeing with ‘Christ’s vision,’ which is our vision when we are in union with that part of ourselves that knows the Truth. I hold this lesson as a vision for my life because I have experienced so many miracles in my life. One of the miracles is to be in a position to share them with so many people through my work and friendships. I share two miracles here with you.

Several months ago I was walking my little dog, Francis, when I came upon a little bird that was lying on the sidewalk near a tall cement flowerpot. I went over to him and clearly noticed that he was struggling for breath. He held a dried branch in his mouth and was unable to remove it so I reached down to remove it for him. His eyes followed my every move and I felt an appreciation emulating from his little body. He stretched his legs but was unable to turn or fly.

I thought perhaps he had broken his back as a result of slamming into the concrete pot. Francis and I stayed with him as I put my hand over his body to give Reiki. Again, his eyes never left my face. I was grieving his suffering deeply when a little voice in my head said, “Ask in my name….” I remembered the Bible passage that Jesus had spoken and asked in His name.

As I was asking, the little bird raised his wings, tips touching as though in prayer, too. Then he neatly folded his wings to his side and took his last breath. I picked him up and placed him in a bed of brilliant yellow flowers. All the while, Francis calmly stayed with me and watched as I laid this little body down.

Three days later I was in an office at work in a meeting when a small bird identical to the one I had been with flew up to the window outside of where I was sitting. He stayed there for several minutes looking in at me. He had ‘returned’ to let me know he was all right. I watched him die and he returned to confirm the truth: There is no sickness not already healed, no lack unsatisfied, no need unmet within this golden treasury of Christ.

In May, I was visiting France with my senior minister after attending a workshop. During that visit I started to think about a relationship that had ended very poorly several years ago. I became very distraught as I began to see my part in its demise; however, without my effort I shifted into a sense of tremendous love for this person. I could not recall any of the painful memories I had held for such a long time. It was as though my mind had been wiped clean and all that was left was the love that had never left! I sat in amazed gratitude and understood that this was indeed true forgiveness, the forgiveness Jesus instructed us to do.

What I had been taught was incomplete (You don’t have to forgive the action, only the person.) This is only the first step. True forgiveness is forgetting that there was even an action that needed forgiving. This is the next generation of consciousness in human development. When we can forgive like this (and I am so grateful for the glimpse of this blessed miracle), then miracles will become a natural state in our lives.

Perhaps you already know how to forgive like this. I didn’t. But now I know a new paradigm. If you don’t know how to forgive like this, pray. Ask for help. The lesson ends with, Let us an instant dream with Him. His dream awakens us to truth. His vision gives the means for a return to our unlost and everlasting sanctity in God.” Amen!
