To Talk and Keep Him Company

One of the answers I’ve received on life purposes came from my Grandma Jones, a virtuous woman who always tried to walk in Christ’s likeness and serve him in a small Baptist church founded by a long ago Grandfather of mine in the late 1800’s.  While a lot of Baptists are known for being righteous, she is far from that.  She has grown in her faith and now at 76, she recently agreed with me that God has many faces. Years before she said that no one could enter God’s Kingdom except through Jesus Christ.  Oh, I love her so!  I called her on her birthday which coincidentally is shared with you.  In that birthday conversations she asked me if I knew why God created us.  She said, “To talk and keep Him Company”.  I believe there is great truth in this. 

I believe we are Children of God in that we are of the same energy force.  I believe we communicate with God but I also think we are all connected and that we all communicate with each other in the same way.  Is it a spiritual butterfly effect?  Maybe.  I told you I was on a journey and I’ve lived in many places and done many different things.  I have strong wings but no real roots to speak of and yet I believe I reside in everyone I’ve ever met and they in me. 

I believe we all have a life purpose and we don’t necessarily have to know that purpose in order to fulfill it.  Perhaps if we knew, we would never take it on.  If you knew your purpose was intertwined with where you are now, would you have walked in it?    There’s a deep heavy price involved in your life purpose and would you be who you are if you had walked any other way?  Perhaps that is why people don’t know or they would not accept what they’re here to do.

My sister lives in Watford, England; that’s like 20 minutes from London.  She was married (for a third time: love an experienced woman!) in India; this is where her husband Akash is from.  When his friends come over, they are always very reverent of my nephew Charlie who has Downs Syndrome.  They believe that he is a very old soul to have been born into a life with a disability like his.  Only an old soul would take it on, they say.  “If Charlie ever visits India, please allow my Mother to meet him. It would be a very great honor…”  Charlie is an amazing soul.  He is far ahead of most.

You spoke of your inner compass.  I have a similar compass.  I also find myself drawn to things without explanation only later to understand it as knowledge I would need later on my journey.  Today, I just want to thank you for being in my head.  I think you unlocked my words because they’ve just flowed in a way that they haven’t in a long time.   You’re a gift if for no other reason.

I have many things I’d like to share with you but I will save it for the next.

Much love and light and the energy that rocks us gently and often violently,
