What I've Learned At 59

2023 Saturday March 25 

Good morning God! Thank you for today. Thank you God for my birthday yesterday!

 

I’ve completed 59 years of life! And what have I learned? That love is patient, Love is kind, Love seeks good. Love does not boast, envy, or seek revenge. Love is always ready for reconciliation. Love is demonstrated. Love refuels. Love heals the deepest and longest lasting wounds. Love is wonderful! Being in love - being loved and loving, is like going to Disney World and told you never have to leave; all of the rides are free and accessible! I’ve learned that Love is you, Love is me, Love is us, Love is all a we!

 

Love is God. God is in us and we are in God. We are God’s love!

Happy All Saints Day! Happy Transition Day Dad!

Image
Today eighteen years ago, at 5:30am EST / 2:30am PST, my father transitioned from his earthly body to the Heavens. Elza “Buddy” Cannaday became a saint and joined the other saints.  I believe Dad knew what was going to happen to his family, after he died, and he made the choice to come back to try and help us.  Some of us needed him in a special way, a way that only Dad could fill.  I believe he decided to visit me because he felt he owed me more time, and he knew I was about to make one of the most important decisions in my life. Perhaps, Dad’s arrival into Heaven went something like this: DAD’S INTERVIEW AT THE PEARLY GATES – MAYBE? Normally I could pull out a few pictures from my wallet and show you, my family.  “Ha, ha.”  I’ve never left home without any money in my pockets let alone no pockets, or pants. Now that’s funny.  My Grandkids would be asking, “Papa, where’s your pants?  How come you ain’t got on no pants? You told us never to leave home ...

Spiritual Expression Needed for Healthy Living

Image
Good morning God! Thank you for this excellent day! Thank you for answering my prayers yesterday. Thank you for providing everything needed today. Please continue to watch over, protect, guide, and bless us.  Please help us all love more lovingly today. Writing is a spiritual process for me. I have the opportunity to be a channel for God's love and light to be shared on Earth. We are spiritual beings, it’s in the water. Our bodies are 60% water. According to ChatGPT, we are about 60% water, which varies by age, gender, and body composition: Infants 75-78%, Adult men 60%, Adult women 55% (body fat holds less water than muscle), Elderly 50-55% (decreases with age) Most of the water is inside cells (intracellular fluid), and the rest is in blood plasma and other bodily fluids (extracellular fluid).  We are spiritual beings, and we must live spiritually as well as physically.  Expressing our spirits is necessary for a full and healthy life. A spiritual process is something we...

My Miraculous MRI Experience: So amazing, I had to write about it multiple times in my journal

Image
MRI machince picture from Torrance Memorial November 10, 2023 - Afternoon of the MRI Procedure I just had a miraculous experience unexplainable by my physicians. Today I had an MRI with contrast for my neck area. I was diagnosed last year by Dr. “T” with an aneurism in a blood vessel on the right side of my neck after a CT scan with contrast. Dr. T wanted to do a follow up scan to investigate the status. My nephrologist cautioned me against having another CT with contrast to avoid potential harm to my kidneys, and Dr. T’s office suggested an MRI with a less potent contrast. My nephrologist approved. The MRI was scheduled for this morning, 11/10/23, and I had a miraculous experience.   I was told to lay flat and still. Inside the dark narrow chamber, I kept my eyes closed to reduce any anxiety or claustrophobic feelings I may have. The IV port was in my right arm, and I held the emergency buzzer in my left hand. To calm myself, I began signing, “The Lord is my Life and my Salvation....
