Can you hear them

When we close our eyes and silence our minds we make room for the energy that is linked to those gone before us. Yes most of their spirit is gone to be with God however there is an amount that lingers all around those of us still here. They don't get in the way however they still are present to nudge us motivate us cheer us on. We still have to make the decisions however they want to help us by causing a reflection on what they would say to us when they were here. They always start with making us feel a warmth that's generated through and by love. No decision should ever be harmful to ourselves and or others. This is not the right way. In life a pathway that causes harm to ourselves or others is not beneficial to love or life. Sometimes our choices bow down to the lesser of two evils but again if someone will benefit at the cost of another it is wrong. When a person is unselfish and loving they cannot be true to themselves when harming someone else. Upon seeing a rainbow that's a celebration of the portion of the soul of our friends and loved ones that have asked God to let them remain and help. When you live to the fullest extent under the umbrella of God's love and being unselfish you are paying tribute to the Holiness of God and every Joy he floods our lives with. I make it an effort to live this way all the time and even though I miss the bullseye occasionally the forces that have God's best interest in mind helps me realign and all things are once again good. Often I've learned a lesson as well. When we want to always live and celebrate life in a fashion that will praise God we can't leave any tool available unused. Glory be to God.
