The purpose for God's Gracious Gifts website:
Freedom
I know it’s nothing less than
this…
And OH… how Heavenly the
bliss!
You could never let me down…
Or look upon me with a frown!
I’ll be the best that I can
be…
My life is yours… my soul is
free…
Too short the journeys of
this life…
Chock full of worry, toil and
strife!
So often late… our lessons learned…
We recoil… our fingers
burned!
To recognize… our immortality,
Will take our souls from
jeopardy!
Please don’t wait until the
end…
It’s not too late… your Love
to send!
Peace shines forth for all to
see…
The Love of God... will set you
free! ...Cosma
FREEDOM is the main purpose for God's Gracious Gifts!
Freedom for your Body, Mind and Spirit!
Freedom when you discover and uncover your gifts!
The awakening to the astonishing wonderment that, YES,
"There ARE more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than man has ever dreamt!
...William Shakesphere" Hello Lovely Lightworkers and Precious Spirits...
I had a dream of riding a white horse across a river and wearing a jeweled vest. I found the meaning of the dream in 2003, in the book, "Angel Energy" by John Randolph Price. Page 221: "Riding the White Horse = The Spiritual Nature - The man or woman who
rides the white horse gets freedom, joy, ultimate happiness and harmony
because the White Horse is the realization of the Presence of God. When
you put God first in your life, when you refuse to limit God, when you
will no longer say that God cannot do something, when you trust God with
your whole heart, then you are riding the white horse. It is only a
matter of time until you shall be free, when the day will break and the
shadows flee away!"
 This could say..."God talks to you, all the time"! I assume you wouldn't be here if you weren't at least curious... a little bit! When I was 24, a few years before I had my spiritual awakening, I discovered there "Really was a God"! It came about after the death of the dearest soul I had ever known on this earth plane. I was in deepest sorrow, but at the same time, I was beyond ecstatic, with my discovery that there really was a God! It happened, instantly, after I said, "God, I have pretty well messed things up in my life...I want only to do your will... always in every way!" That was when I discovered God was really there...you see most people try to make deals with God, They say, "God, if you do this, I will do this"...I am here to testify that it doesn't work that way. God knows our hearts and minds and what we want and need, better than we do... and the moment we truly realize this and have Faith that His will is truly the best and only way, then you too will discover that God truly exists. It is all about Faith...and having the courage to step out in that faith...sometimes we can only make the leap of faith when we get to our lowest point. Our egos stand in the way...we think we know what is best for our selves... Until one day...Oops! ...we discover that we are in Earth School and the Lessons have already begun!
Lessons
Lessons learned…Lessons lost…
What do lessons really cost?
Lessons may be over priced…$$$
Sometimes they are put on ice!
Lessons never fully learned...
Bonuses bought… Never earned!
LESSONS! … Oh, the price we pay…
“I’ll put off this lesson… just one
more day!”
But Lessons do not wait… for anyone…
The time is NOW… the lesson has begun! ...Cosma The most important thing I can tell you, is that God talks to us all the time, through every media: books, movies, TV, a stranger, a synchronicities, children... I have come to feel that is the meaning behind Jesus's words when he said: "Let them who have ears, listen and those who have eyes, see." Forty years later I am still discovering and learning about God.
I can't say enough about this amazing book:  website: www.keysofenoch.org The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch®is a textbook that states the issues of the future in spiritual and scientific prose. The Keys, thus,
are a blueprint for the different levels of spiritual consciousness,
and provides a "coding" for the understanding of these levels of
reality through its intensive study. It challenges us to go beyond the
ordinary three-dimensional thinking of our rational intellect, in order
to accept it supra-rationally. More importantly, The Keys
tell us that we are all experiential beings with free will. It is the
acceptance and integration of our Higher Self with the spark of the
Divine, in conjunction with the energy field which brings forth the
knowledge of the true science of Life, that will enable each and all of
us together to make the quantum leap."
Time is an Illusion"
 I received a message from Spirit through a dream in 1980's. I saw sand dunes and heard the words, "Time is an illusion". I immediately wrote this down upon awakening and drew a picture of sand dunes so that I would not forget. I saw this message today, many years later... Time is like Smoke and Mirrors
Time
is like smoke and mirrors, unreal, imaginary, and yet there seems to be
something going on that makes it essential and very real; namely, the
sequential passage of events, particularly those that cause the next one to
occur. So how do you square its appearance with its unreality? Imagine
a line with garments on it hanging out to dry. They blow in the wind, back
and forth, as the wind changes. The wind is like time: You notice it when
the garments are drying, and you notice the lack of it when the garments
hang motionless and you want them to dry. When you are not attempting to
dry clothes you pay the presence or absence of the wind no
attention. So time seems to be present when you attend to it, and when
you do not— where is it? Children playing have almost no awareness of
time; children cleaning and tidying their rooms are inordinately aware of
it! Time is present for you when you are doing something you would
rather not be doing, and it drags. When you are doing something enjoyable
there is no awareness of it . . . until a clock tells you that you have
to start work again! Time is an elusive concept. People who become
unconscious due to sudden illness or accident and then regain consciousness
have no idea how long they were unconsciousness. There will be clues in
their memory: lying prone on the football field and seeing people looking
down at them — in this case, maybe only moments have passed — coming back
to consciousness in a hospital bed; obviously much more time has
passed. But for the one who is unconscious there is no `passage
of time'. Someone going through a near-death-experience may
think that he's been `gone' for a considerable time, while for those in
the vicinity of the unconscious one, the period of unconsciousness may
seem very brief. And life in your illusory reality is very much like
that. Separation — the illusory reality you made when you attempted to
separate yourselves from God — was but a momentary experience and
was immediately over. But in the illusion where you appear to
be experiencing life, the experience continues for you with all sorts
of clues to indicate that this reality is vast and has been developing
for billions of years. You always have guides with you helping you
to regain consciousness (like me nudging John!), and when you do regain it,
the clues will be present to show you that your unconsciousness lasted but
an incredibly short instant, and upon awakening you will have no memories
of your `time' in unconcsciousness. A near-death-experience, on
the other hand, is like a brief return to Reality, to remind the one who
experiences it how wonderful it is, and to give her the strength to return
to the illusion and bring comfort to others there, until all awaken. All
will awaken, and the time taken to do so will be fleeting. So relax, and
realize that there is no time, no illusion. There is only Heaven — the
divine Reality of which you are momentarily unaware. With so very
much love, Saul. <http://johnsmallman.wordpress.com/2009/10/18/time-is-like-smoke-and-mir\

"Let my soul smile through my heart
and my heart smile through my eyes,
that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts."
~ Paramahansa Yogananda ~ Paramahansa Yogananda said of God: "Yes, God is really there...I wouldn't say it was so, if it were not true! God is very shy, but if you persist and be patient he will show you!" (I am paraphrasing but the basic truth is there... from one of Yogananda's beautiful cassette tapes before he transitioned.) His book, "Autobiography of a Yogi" is still a best seller. Find out more at: http://www.writespirit.net/authors/paramahansa_yogananda/ and http://www.myspace.com/paramahansa
God is the atmosphere where our essence clarifies, where all
falsity and pretension vanish. Here we are utterly enfolded.
No words are needed; no actions required; for everything is here.
God is the time-circle where all our possibilities unite. In God the
ultimate portraiture of the soul fills out.
- John O'Donohue Neale Donald Walsch who wrote "Conversations with God' series: I believe God wants you to know...
...that independence
is your soul's natural state and Freedom is another name for God.
The Divine is that which is totally free, all the time. Nothing constricts It, nothing limits It, nothing stops
it or prohibits It or denies It in any way. You are exactly the same. Your soul is
nothing more than an
Individuation of Divinity...and it is absolutely nothing less. Act as if you are divinely free today -- and watch your life change.
Love, Your Friend....  Cherokee Legend
His father
takes him into the forest, blindfolds him an leaves him alone. He is
required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until
the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help
to anyone. Once he survives
the night, he is a MAN.

He cannot tell the
other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his
own.
The boy is
naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely
be all around him. Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the
grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the
blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man!

Finally, after a
horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he
discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.
He had been at
watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm.
We, too, are never
alone.
Even when we don't
know it, God is watching over us, sitting on the stump beside us.
When trouble comes,
all we have to do is reach out to Him.
If you liked this
story, pass it on.
If not, you took
off your blindfold before dawn.

Moral of the story:
Just because you
can't see God, doesn't mean He is not there.
"For we walk
by faith, not by sight."

nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it,
no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own
reason and your own common sense." Buddha (536 B.C.-483 B.C.) May you too discover your endless supply of
