By the Grace of God the Pain Was Gone — When I Forgave

by Rev. Tarra Bennett, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

June 21st 2021. It’s midday and suddenly I am struck with an intense toothache, excruciatingly painful. It lasted all that day and into the next day and the next day. Going to a dentist is not something I like to do. However by now I have come to realize this intense ache is not going away. Since moving east ten years ago I had not put in place a dentist for myself.

I contacted a local friend for a recommendation on the best dentist in the province. The dentist they suggested was a six hour drive from where I live. However I am willing to drive that distance for a dentist I trust.

I finally got up the courage to call the dentist’s office. The earliest date they could book me an appointment was for August 6th, almost six weeks before I would get relief from the pain.

Daily I continued to endure the discomfort and the pain.

A Miracle in Church

by Rev. Dan Strodl, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Recently, I was asked to give a tribute in a church to my friend David, as part of a celebration of his life. He died last year, at the height of the pandemic, and only his family were able to attend his funeral. I worked with David over 40 years ago, long before he met his wife and had a family. His wife wanted me to share my personal experiences of David, so the congregation could get a full picture of him. I told her I’d think about it and get back to her.

My first thought was “No”. I couldn’t remember what we did together or what he was like so many years ago. But, then, memories came flooding back into my mind. We had so many fun and wacky times together, working in the creative department of a major advertising agency. I wrote down everything I could remember, which filled two pages. I got back to David’s wife and said “Yes.”

Handing It Over: It’s the Key

by Rev. Colleen Fee, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Truck problems: Friday night my truck would not start. I was stranded at my niece’s horse ranch, 30 miles from home. No mechanic was open. Fear came up about how to get home.

Hand it over to Holy Spirit.

Allison (an Angel), who works for my niece, shows up and asks if we need help. Yes, the truck won’t start and we need a ride home, but we live in Greeley. No problem, she was going that way anyway. The ride with Allison was an opportunity to have a nice conversation about working at the ranch.

I left the spare key in the truck for tow. It is safe to leave the truck unlocked on my niece’s property. We will meet the tow truck on Monday morning.

Saturday we pick up a rental car. Monday morning we call a mechanic and tow truck. As we go to meet the tow truck, fear comes up about how much all of this is going to cost.

Hand it over to Holy Spirit. (I do not know what anything means.)

Just Say “Yes!”

by Rev. Deb Fee, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

As a facilitator of the Pathways of Light Spiritual and Ministerial Training Courses, I am so blessed to be aware of Holy Spirit teaching me through my interactions with students as we go through the material. I always hand over our sessions to Inner Guidance and am truly delighted with whatever unfolds in our discussion.

Recently a student was expressing some difficulty with close family relationships and a reluctance to engage in communication as there was always an expectation of criticism and obligation. This student even said that they believed Holy Spirit did not want them to interact with these family members as (the student) was “not ready.” In other words, the “spiritual muscles” were not yet developed enough for them to be “safe” in that environment. Even though this student was a delightful person and a very loving and bright Light in their experience with almost anyone else, certain family members made them withdraw and feel the need to isolate from them.

As I listened to the student say, “No!” (literally) to communication, I distinctly heard in my mind, “Just say yes.” I knew I was receiving Guidance and asked in my own mind, “How do I do that?” Then the idea came to me to offer an experiment of sorts to the student. I suggested that for just one day the student would say, “Yes” to whatever choice was offered in their experience. When I sensed a little stiffening to the experiment, I said that the day should be set up the night before by asking Holy Spirit to bring only those situations that Holy Spirit WANTS them to choose to say, “Yes.” That way the student could be assured that Holy Spirit “has their back,” and would never bring an experience or choice that was not in their best interest, even if it didn’t appear that way at first.

Need a Boost? I Do. So, Here’s a Boost!

by Rev. Mary Lenihan, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

As I work here today at our Pause studio, I am feeling incredibly blessed to be doing the work I am doing — that Infinite Love is creating — and that is being shared through so many of us in our willingness to get out of our own way and let LOVE, love us so we can love others in the daily operations of life.

REMEMBER?

Yesterday, as I stepped out of our Pause studio door and stood in the parking lot, I heard a thought from My True Self, “It doesn’t get better than this.” I REMEMBERED that I have been gifted, as you have as well, with living the life I always hoped to live — a life chosen not by me, but by the ONE LOVE who gave me LIFE — in the most wondrous sense of the word. And infuses LIFE into my everyday life of being of service, knowing my True Self, knowing GOD, following LOVE’s call to love, working for a nonprofit with a team of people as devoted and dedicated as I am — each willing to be and do our part — to be a light in the darkness. Not perfect, simply willing. Not willing 100% of the time, but that is an ego accusation to be noticed and dismissed. Poof!

In Gratitude I Heal Every Relationship

by Rev. Cathy Silva, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

A prayer for healing relationships inspired by POL Course 903: Gratitude for God’s Gifts:

In gratitude I am whole.

I become aware I am one with God and am One here and now in holy relationship with all my brothers and sisters.

I let gratitude lead me Home…

In gratitude I accept and appreciate all as it is now. All circumstances, all conditions, all beings as they appear. I remember that by myself I don’t know what any of it means so I surrender its meaning and purpose to the Holy Spirit.

I now appreciate, accept and give thanks for all that I have inherited as a Child of God…

Being Carried

by Rev. Larry Glenz, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

During all the years that Pathways of Light has been in my life, I have listened to Robert and Mary Stoelting express often that they feel like they are “being carried.” I always loved hearing them say that. They have put Holy Spirit in charge and have been led on many adventures. Their latest journey, the move from Florida to Huntley, IL, is just the most recent example of their trust in being carried by Holy Spirit.

I have been keeping a journal for many years. Occasionally I look back at my journal for inspiration and for clarity on my past.

My current journal begins almost one year ago. Christmas had just passed, and I was preparing to take my annual drive to my winter home in south Florida in the new year 2021. I am a snowbird, spending my winters in Florida and the rest of the year on Long Island.
