Greetings!
Yesterday we were stuck in a gas station. We could not start the car after we filled up the gas.
About 3 months ago, we had a similar incident in the parking lot of a store. After shopping for groceries, we could not start our car. The insurance company sent someone out to jump start the car, but it didn't work. It took another hour for a tow truck to come out. Our car was towed to an auto shop. A couple of days later, we were relieved to learn everything had checked out to be fine, and all we needed was a new battery.
With a new battery, we did not expect this to happen again so soon, but I supposed what happened was pretty much part of life. No matter we expected it of not, things simply unfolded and called for our attention.
Seeing what happened, a young man who was getting gas in the next lane came to help us. He spent quite some time looking into the possibilities of the problem, but could not make the car start. He helped pushing our car to the side. Before he left, he said he was sorry he could not help us. We thanked him for he had already helped the best he could. His willingness to help had already made our day.
What happened reminded me of an exceptional good Samaritan whom we met in 2007. That day he went out of his way to help us to the best that he could.
Before we moved to another state in 2007, we went to see a relative to say goodbye. He lived in a city which was about an hour away from where we lived. While we talked, we told him we wanted to bring our car to an auto repair shop for a complete inspection before the long drive to another state. Immediately, he recommended the auto shop next to his business. He knew them well. He was sure they could do a good job. After the inspection, we agreed to the works they recommended. When the work was done, they assured us that our car was now in sound condition to go long distance.
Two days later, we went to the post office to mail some letters. When we came out of the post office, my husband could not start the car. We had AAA car insurance, but we knew it took an hour or more for a tow truck to come. Furthermore, the auto shop was much farther away than what was covered by the insurance. Therefore, my husband wished someone could jump start the car so that we could drive over there by ourselves.
It was a hot, hot summer day. Understandably, many people walked past, and nobody seemed to want to help. Then a car parked next to ours. A man rushed inside the post office. When he came out, he looked at us. The hood of our car was up. He came over to see if he could help. He told us the battery was empty, and we needed a new one. Knowing we had AAA insurance, he said, "Call AAA. They will come with a new battery. They will install it for you."
We thanked him. As he was walking back to his car, he changed his mind. He offered to drive us to an auto parts store to buy a new battery. He said it would be cheaper to install it ourselves instead of having AAA did that. "It is very easy (to install a battery)," he said. "Besides, you will get $8 back when you bring the old battery to the store where you purchase a new one."
When he learned we had never installed a battery before, he drove us to the store. Then he drove to his house, and came out with a tool box. Under the hot sun, he removed the old battery and installed the new one. When it was done, his face was covered with sweat, and his shirt was wet.
We started the car, and found out the radio and other parts of the car had some problems. He checked the car again. He told us the possible cause of the problem. He said we should bring the car back to the auto shop where the work was done. He assured us it was safe for us to drive to the auto shop. Then he left. He would not accept anything in return.
"May I know your name?" I asked. He said he was Eric.
Later at the auto shop, they checked our car again. They admitted the mechanic must have accidentally break something while fixing a part of the car. They replaced some fuses and fixed the problem.
Looking back, the angels and guides were really watching over us. Earlier, the auto shop had assured us that the car was good for the long drive. However, the Divine let us know it was not. It could be very stressful if our car broke down on the highway instead of parking lots. Guides and angels, thank you.
I dedicate this post to all the good Samaritans such as Eric and the young man at the gas station. As I mention, goodwill and good deeds never go unnoticed by the loving Divine. Though they ask for nothing in return, the good they do will return to them tenfold. So it is.
With gratitude and love,

Kurt Kaiser's "Pass It On"
Greetings!
This morning (Oct. 9, 2013) I wake up hearing the first stanza of the song "Pass It On" over and over again in the air.
This morning (Oct. 9, 2013) I wake up hearing the first stanza of the song "Pass It On" over and over again in the air.
It only takes a spark to get a fire going
And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing
That's how it is with God's love
Once you've experienced it
You spread God's love to everyone
As I mentioned before, I only started going to a non denominational church regularly in the last quarter of 2007 after I moved to another state. The first time I heard the song was June or July of 2011. I was so touched by the song that I went online searching for the lyrics. It was written by Kurt Kaiser. I learned it was a popular song at church, and people sang it a lot when they sat around a campfire.
The song deeply moved me because it resonated with the truth that 'once we've experienced God's love, we want to pass it on'. Listening to the song reminded me of the two miraculous healing experiences which happened in 2001 and 2007.
With no health insurance and little money, I woke up during the night finding the right side of my body in excruciating pain. Compounded to the pain was an unbearable headache that developed a day later. I could not lie down or sleep because any movement of the right side of my body would cause intolerable pain. For four days and nights I sat up in bed. The only thing that carried me through was faith because I heard "May 6" when I prayed for help on the first day of the ordeal. May 6 turned out to be the last day of the suffering, and I was healed about two and a half hours after midnight. (Please view my post The Grace of God) .
For days and weeks afterward, I was filled with gratitude and love. I smiled from the bottom of my heart, and looked at everyone with love. Yes, I wanted to pass it on.
The second healing experience was The Hot Coffee Incident which occurred in June of 2007. After the healing, I laid in bed repeating my vow of committing to God's Will which I had made years ago.
The music of Kurt Kaiser's song is beautiful, and so are the words. He also touches on a Truth that each one of us is a spark of God. We are sparks of the One Spirit, One Light, One Love. May we hold a vision of who we truly are, and together may we be the fire that transmits warmth and love wherever we are.
Kurt Kaiser, thanks for "Pass It On".

"Tell her that she is very, very loved"
Greetings!
One day in a small healing energy share gathering, I met an exceptional caring woman. She happened to open up on that day, and shared with us her life story.
She worked in the children unit of a hospital. She loved the children she cared for as if they were her loved ones. She comforted them, and made them smile. For years, she took care of her aged parents. When her parents were no longer healthy enough to care for themselves, she gave them massages and attended to them the best she could. She had no children of her own, and she showered her nieces and nephews with love and support. Her voice was soft and gentle. I could feel her genuine love for others.
Later we paired up to give and receive healing. Coincidentally, she and I were to work on each other. When I worked on her, the energy that came through was very loving and joyous. Strangely, I kept getting a message to tell her that she is very, very loved.
After all of us finished practicing, we took turn sharing our experiences. I was hesitant to relate the message. This woman was very loving. Of course, she was loved by many, and she should know she was loved. The message did not make any sense to me. Why did I have to tell her that she was very, very loved? When it was my turn, I decided to deliver the message as it was. I said: "I don't know why, but I get the message that I am supposed to tell you that you are very, very loved." She showed no response to the message.
Afterward, we left the healing room. We sat by two small tables to eat lunch. As we ate, some people continued to chat. Suddenly, the woman said that she never felt she was loved even though she easily opened her heart to love others. All of us stopped eating. A friend said: "Did she (i.e. me) say she received a message to tell you that you are very, very loved?" I understood then why I was told to relate the message.
I looked at the woman and said: "Thank you for all that you do. Sometimes we are so focused in giving others our love, we fail to nurture our own well being. It may be once in a while others in your family can help you with the care of your parents. Give yourself some time to do things which give you joy or make you happy. It is important to take care of yourself too." Tears filled her eyes. I continued: "You know, what we do and how we love never go unnoticed. Your family loves you. Those children you have cared for love you. Indeed, you are very, very loved." From the expression on her face, we knew the message from the Loving Divine had finally sunk in.
We are love, and we are loved. Sometimes we may feel we are not loved, but love is. Love is our natural state of being.
