inspirational story and music
From Melanie; This is reported to have been written by Harry Truman. I could not confirm that, but it is a wonderful story...no matter who wrote it.]
THE CARPENTER'S GLASSES
by Harry S. Truman
My mother's father worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some crates for the clothes his church was sending to orphanages in China. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. When he mentally replayed his earlier actions, he realized what had happened: the glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the crates, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China!
The Great Depression was at its height and Grandpa had six children. He had spent $20 for those glasses that very morning.. He was upset by the thought of having to buy another pair. It's not fair, he told God as he drove home in frustration. I've been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your work, and now this.
Months later, the director of the orphanage was on furlough in the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him in China, so he came to speak one Sunday at my grandfather's small church in Chicago.. The missionary began by thanking the people for their faithfulness in supporting him.
But most of all, he said, I must thank you for the glasses you sent last. You see, the Communists had just swept through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses.
I was desperate. Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my coworkers and I were much in prayer about this. Then your crates arrived. When my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top.
The missionary paused long enough to let his words sink in. Then, still gripped with the wonder of it all, he continued:
Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been custom made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that.
The people listened, happy for the miraculous glasses. But the missionary surely must have confused their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas. But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.
There are times we want to blame God instead of thanking him! Perhaps we ought to try to thank Him more often.

****Inspirational
The article from Lynn (below) is so good that I decided to post it....name and phone # omitted. Mel had a healing experience recently, and I hope she shares the things she gleaned form her experience.
John 9:1-3
9As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God’s works might be revealed in him.
Having had a miraculous healing myself this verse means a great deal. The man was born blind so that he might shed light on the path to creating "Heaven on Earth". A motivational speaker born without arms or legs puts it well in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M5PIDhh1gM Each person who has overcome has a gift to share.
As a nation we are in the process of a healing as we come together to resolve differences, and heal the condition of our economy and Country.
From Lynn:
I'd like to offer some peace to XXXX for her healing and well-being. It is our Natural state to be well....while it sounds like there is much pain and suffering going on right now, our bodies can be seen as indicators of how we are feeling emotionally ~
The hardest part to healing, when someone feels ill or unwell at the moment, is to recognize that if they would make peace with where they are right now, knowing it is temporary, and then try to find a feeling that feels good, can be done through pulling out pictures of herself before any pain began and just remembering those times, trying to shift into that place of well-being, even if its something from the past ~
While XXXX is suffering right now, if she were able to shift her thoughts from "what is" to something that feels a little better, one thought at a time, even going from "fearful" to "hopeful" is the difference between wellness and staying in pain.
I don't know what her belief system is right at the moment, but hopefully if she is able to hear what this is saying, she will get some relief. She may always call me if she'd like: xxx-xxx-xxxx
The being okay with what is right now is Key - I'll explain it the way Abraham teaches the concept: If you were going on a white-water rafting trip, you would put your boat in the water wherever you are, knowing that the stream is going downhill, and you'll be in the flow - It does not matter at what POINT you put your boat in; in other words, even in her pain, she could just BE in the moment, putting her boat in at this point of pain, and then trying to "go with the flow" of the river. The Stream of Well-Being is always running....it is a matter of just simply releasing resistance/worry/fear and reaching for something that feels better like hope/contentment/anticipation.
To simplify: Go with the flow - Take yourself lightly - Get some "good feeling" movies and watch them and laugh. It is our natural state to be happy and feel good. Begin to feel better by just focusing on things to appreciate....just moving into appreciation, even if its just a flower or the trees or the sunshine, etc., takes us out of resistance into more peace and allowing our wellness to flow. Turn off the news - Only focus on things that make you "FEEL" good emotionally and physically. Begin to see your body healthy and whole...that is its natural state.
I hope this helps!
Much love,
Lynn
