When I opened to A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 56 for today I was so grateful that what I read was really what I needed to hear, “My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability.”
I had been feeling a little down because of some family misperceptions. I say misperceptions because I know from the Course that whenever I am unhappy about something I know it isn’t real, it is my perceptions from an unhealed mind.

There are no words to describe the abundance of limitless peace, love and joy I am experiencing for having accepted the Atonement — the correction of my thoughts by Holy Spirit, but as a teacher of God I shall try.
The Atonement has been and continues to be the prayer and desire of my heart, my only goal, my only focus in this dream, which is truly a happy one now! I have no pain or conflict in my mind whatsoever; only peace, light, love and joy. True cause and effect as taught in ACIM.

Once in a while I hear a fellow Course student say something like, “This is all a dream, so it doesn’t really matter.” For whatever reason, that thinking doesn’t work for me. If I think I’m a body and I’m experiencing a problem, I can’t just dismiss it with a statement like that. It does matter because healing takes place on an ego level. I must bring my illusion to Truth. I can’t just cast off my illusion as unreal and be done with it.

We would like to share our journey with Holy Spirit holding our hand through our recent hurricane “Irma” experience:
Because we live in Ormond Beach, Florida, (which is just north of Daytona Beach) we tend to keep a watch during hurricane season of the potential weather patterns that would give us advance notice so we could prepare for any hurricanes coming our way.

Lord, make me an instrument
of thy peace!
That where there is hatred,
I may bring Love.
That where there is wrong,
I may bring the spirit of forgiveness.

What an inspiration…
my friend Howard
has been to me…
gifting, a twig…
that grew into a giant
willow tree!
Ahhhhhh! The gift
of his friendship…
as he walked through our door…
sharing twigs…
that became trees…
and oh, so much more!

“Child of God, you were created to create the good, the beautiful and the holy.” (ACIM T-1.VII.2:1)
So what exactly is ‘a teacher of God’? What exactly is ‘our call’ to be a minister of God? What exactly is ‘reconnecting’?
A Course in Miracles tells me: “A teacher of God is anyone who chooses to be one. …. somehow, somewhere he has made a deliberate choice in which he did not see his interests as apart from someone else’s. …The Call is universal. It calls for teachers to speak for It and redeem the world. Many hear It, but few will answer. Yet it is all a matter of time. Everyone will answer in the end, but the end can be a long, long way off. It does not matter who the teacher was before he heard the Call. He has become a savior by his answering.” (M-1.1:1-2;2:4,6-9;3:7-8)

Ever since I got ordained as a minister of Pathways of Light in 2005, I thought of myself as a teacher of God. But I was really focusing on the form and not on the true content.
I thought being a teacher of God meant having students and teaching them about the Course or teaching them about the Pathways of Light Practitioner courses. I thought being a teacher of God meant preparing others to become ministers.

Inner child
hiding in the corners of fear,
Please look…
Nobody can hurt you here.
No harsh words
In any way,
Only kindness
And lots of play.
Oh, I see
You peeking out now!

I was a determined, self-employed successful business woman, who for 25 years was highly driven to prove my self-worth in the world, taking financial business risks, making and losing money. I was steadily building a self-image from having a beautiful home, cars, clothes and expensive holidays. I believed that this would make me feel important and that this was my true identity. I entered into an intimate relationship, thinking that it would enhance my life even further as my partner held an important position in society. So wow! Life couldn’t be any better!

The ego gleefully loves to attack and does so constantly. We don’t notice it much because that is considered normal and expected. Someone told me: “If I don’t attack what someone says to me, I am considered stupid and gullible.” We support the ego in all kinds of ways.
This is what I found for myself: There is a part within me that likes to attack, even though in subtle ways. She gets satisfaction from this. Yet, when I look at this and feel this attack thought, I really, really don’t like the feeling it gives me. If I am not willing to tell myself to let it go, I distract myself quickly and don’t do anything about it. But I do want to change it. And I know I can.

Mother Teresa….”Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” My Pathways buddy, Rev. Debra Bredican, shared this quote with me.
As a member of Holy Spirit’s Awakening Crew, one of my assignments for several years now has been to sing a song entitled “You’re An Angel” to others, when guided by Holy Spirit. Charley Thweatt sings the song on one of his albums. Charley, along with Oman and Shanti, put words from ACIM to music in the 70’s & 80’s, and you can hear this song and others on YouTube. (Charley’s web address is musicangel.com)

They say “Happy Mother’s Day” and I smile and say, “Thank you.” I think of my mother and I smile. I feel closer to her now. She has been gone for over 15 years. I have affection and appreciation for her. My mother is myself. My daughters are myself. My grand-children are myself.
