Peace on Earth

Christmas carols and cards often have the words: Peace on Earth to men of good will. We also see this version: Peace on Earth and good will to men.

The second version makes more sense to me. Why wish Peace on men of good will when they are obviously doing just fine as it is. The assumption is, if you are of good will you must be Peaceful. Not necessarily so, but let’s assume that the majority are.

I’d rather wish Peace on Earth to those who are exhibiting bad will. These guys need it more don’t you think? I would rather heap Peace on the people who are killing their own countrymen and women and children. Heap Peace on the people who are fighting with their neighbors over national borders. Heap Peace on the people who are killing innocent children in schools, ambushing firefighters and police, blowing up public buildings, fighting unending wars. These are the people who need Peace wished upon them.

Let’s do it right now! Close your eyes and think of as many as you can who need to have Peace heaped upon them. All you have to do is open your local newspaper and read about all the negative stuff that’s going on and you have enough examples to keep you busy for a good chunk of time.

Once you have these individuals and groups in your mind’s eye, Bless them. Just say a little prayer asking that they stop whatever they are doing that goes against the highest good. If you are one to visualize people and situations in White Light, go ahead. That’s even more powerful. Throw a blanket of Pink Light (Divine Love) over the Middle East or your neighbor’s house. Maybe your own house. Wherever Peace is needed!

In Matthew 18:20 Jesus said, “Wherever two or more gather in my name…,” and that is true. The best part is you don’t need to know that you have been gathered! You might think you are on your own, but there may be people in your neighborhood, town or state who are concentrating on the same thing…it constitutes a gathering. Just think of all the good you can do!

Let go of fear…Learn to trust

Many years ago, when my four kids were growing up, I was a single parent. So many times situations would come up and I would say, “Don’t worry. Everything will be ok. Everything will turn out just fine.” Most of the time I had absolutely no idea how that would be accomplished, but I must have done a good job selling it, because my kids (as far as I know) always felt safe “knowing” that mom would take care of everything. And everything would turn out ok!

Today, I give you the same comforting message: “Don’t worry. Everything will be ok. Everything will turn out just fine.” Just like those early days, I have absolutely no idea how that is going to happen, but I know that it will. It always does.

There are a lot of people who seem to be on a mission to scare the hell out of us. We constantly hear how bad the economy is and that we are on the verge of losing everything. They harp on climate change and how global warming is deadly. Then, as if that isn’t enough, the world is going to end on December 21^st.

DO NOT ALLOW THAT KIND OF TALK TO SCARE YOU. “Don’t worry. Everything will be ok. Everything will turn out just fine.”

At a Wholistic Practitioners networking breakfast this morning, I brought up the melting polar ice caps and the dire predictions attendant to this. One of our group added that if we concentrate on all the negative crap that’s being forced on us…then all that negative crap gains strength.

So I say to you, “Don’t worry. Everything will be ok. Everything will turn out just fine.” Think positive. Visualize yourself personally, and the planet as a whole, as calm, serene, having everything necessary to live a happy productive life. Send positive energy to ALL LIFE.

It has been my personal experience that I have always had what I needed. I learned a long time ago not to worry because everything will be ok. Everything will turn out just fine.
