Manifesting the Thought
"6. Resolve to take action every day on one of the items on your list. Do something every day that moves you toward your goal so that you can maintain your momentum."
To my little universe Aaliaa Srishti,When you were still a baby, I remember holding dear the words of Neale Donald Walsch and typing them down and giving your godparents copies of it, along with the baptismal certificate with their names on it.
Also, along with this, I would like to share with you your grandfather's favorite poet KAHLIL GIBRAN on children. He loves you incomparably. In his quietness, he holds you dear in his heart. He shed tears of longing for you and dreamt of possibilities for you only the immensity of his heart could capture.
May these souls' words speak for us. We love you.
Teaching Your Children Well
Teach these truths to your children.
Teach your children that they need nothing exterior to themselves to be happy-no person, place, or thing-and that true happiness is found within. Teach them that they are sufficient unto themselves.Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.
Teach your children that failure is a fiction, that every trying is a success, and that every effort is what achieves the victory, with the first no less honorable than the last.Teach them this and you will have taught them grandly.
Teach your children that they are deeply connected to all of Life, and they are One with all people, and that they are never separate from God.Teach them this and you will have taught them grandly.
Teach your children that they live in a world of magnificent abundance, that there is enough for everyone, and that it is in sharing the most, not in gathering the most, that the most is received.Teach them this and you will have taught them grandly.
Teach your children that there is nothing that they are required to be or to do to be eligible for a life of dignity and fulfillment, that they need not compete with anyone for anything, and that God's blessings are meant for everyone.Teach them this and you will have taught them grandly.
Teach your children that they will never be judged, that they need not worry about always getting it right, and that they do not have to change anything, or "get better," to be seen as perfect and beautiful in the eyes of God.Teach them this and you will have taught them grandly.
Teach your children that consequences and punishment are not the same thing, that death does not exist, and that God would never condemn anyone.Teach them this and you will have taught them grandly.
Teach your children that there are no conditions to love, that they need not worry about ever losing your love, or God's, and that their own love, unconditionally shared, is the greatest gift they can give the world.Teach them this and you will have taught them grandly.
Teach your children that being special does not mean being better, that claiming superiority over someone is not seeing Who They Really Are, and that there is great healing in acknowledging "mine is not a better way, mine is merely another way."Teach them this and you will have taught them grandly.
Teach your children that there is nothing that they cannot do, that the illusion of Ignorance can be eradicated from the earth, and that all anyone really need is to be given back to themselves by being reminded of Who They Really Are.Teach them this and you will have taught them grandly.
Teach these things not with your words but with your actions: not with discussion but with demonstration. For it is what you do that your children will emulate, and how you are that they will become.
From Communion with God by Neale Donald Walsch
Children
from KAHLIL GIBRAN - THE PROPHET
And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, "Speak to us of Children."
And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
Aaliaa Srishti,
Thank you for teaching us to love and for gracing our lifetime with your presence. You are 5 years old now and your tight hugs and kisses can only heal the pains forgotten and those never to visit again as you have protected me with your love.
Love forever,
Mommy
