My Favorite Person
Posted: Sunday, November 06, 2011
by Susan Thom
My favorite person, upon much thought, seems to be the person I am evolving into as the years tick away. I like myself. I know where I draw the line, I know I can be trusted, and I know how I think, act and feel. That isn’t the case with everyone. I know I wouldn’t steal someone’s grandmother’s ring if the situation presented itself, and there are few who I would trust around my grandmother’s ring.
I think we all make our own choices, and even if we get caught up in the tide, we can still make sound decisions. I know that love is painful at times, most of the time, maybe, but it is the purest form of emotion we know, next to hate. I believe in a hereafter, where we are in spirit form, and can continue doing good for ourselves and others. I believe we can help those we leave behind.
I imagine God as a bright white, warm and inviting light.
I think we should do the best job we can, no matter what that job is. I know we have to push ourselves at times, but 9 out of 10 tries, we are usually able to do it. I know determination plays a major role in life’s trials and tribulations. That, along with motivation, are like a home run in life. Desire is the only real feeling that pushes us to do what needs to be done before we leave this Earth.
I know I have pushed myself past limits both spiritual, and physical. If I want to move a dresser, it will have to be nailed in place before I give up moving it into the other room. I stay in touch with family for the main reason that they are family. I raised my children well. They know right from wrong. They may do wrong, but they know it’s wrong! I keep my home nicely decorated and clean.
I am a good partner, and would never cheat. I give old clothes to the good will instead of just throwing them out. Although careful, with doors locked and window cracked, I would ask someone I may see pulled over to the side of the road, if they needed help. I went to all of my kids basketball and softball/baseball games. And we must be talking hundreds.
I let my kids know how much I love them, and that they mean the world to me, and there is no doubt in their minds that I am telling the truth. I am thorough in my crafts and what I do around the house, and I am open minded. I will not disrespect or degrade my children just because they may choose to be different, or walk to their own beat.
I am non judgmental, and never in my life, could understand that battle over the color of people’s skins! It’s always been absurd to me. I abhor any religion that has pedafiles as their main group, while they preach the good word to all the adoring faces in attendance for service. When will people open their eyes, I don’t know. Maybe when their child is molested.
I know all of these things about myself, and I like them, and I am faithful to my beliefs. I believe there is a God, I believe He is the Light, literally, and I believe we are sent down to Earth to learn all we can, and when we pass on, we go towards the Light and go through a review. There, we experience all the feelings we ever made others feel, or others made us feel.
This could take a day, it could take millenniums. We are asked which path we want to travel when we are done, and there you go. The ones who choose to Honor the Light, are in spirit form, and have jobs to do, including coming to earth to help a child of God out of a mess they got themselves into. Some answer prayers. Some become angels, and some become messengers.
So, since I know myself so well, and I've worked on my self for so many years, I’d have to say I am my own favorite person.
