    • Like Tiny Snowflakes of Hope, Joy and Love Angelic Souls’ Messages Blanket The Earth

      The most perfect beauty often happens within a fraction of a moment as one observes the genuine pureness of protective Love one for another. Each taking selfless steps to prepare for the other’s ease of well-being as the future begins to unfold. 

      Being witness to the message of Hope in what feels to be a Hopeless situations is nothing short of amazing. Being in it and through it myself I am aware the end of life experiences and moments will not always feel positive, hopeful or Awe inspiring. Often they may not be witnessed by those closest but possibly by the “outsider”. I am convinced we are not supposed to be able to figure out why. The most important message is  Every Souls‘ Wisdom and purpose is important and most assuredly it will unfold in the manner it should. Whether it shines through like a billboard or comes quietly much later as a gentle whisper is not what is important. The joint message of many Souls is what brings us Hope.

      It is a blessing to be present with a family and witness the gentle unfolding of protective Love in action. Each person, whether a parent, a child or grandchild, or one spouse toward another, going to great lengths to protect the other from undue burden and discomfort in the future.

      Each one knowing our earthly journey sometimes causes us to travel some very difficult roads. Each one taking steps to protect the other and assist in making their future journey as smooth and free of unnecessary pain as possible.

      When living through the moment as a family each member often silently taking steps and making quiet sacrifices to allow or facilitate ease of burden for the other.

      As an outside source of support the complete picture of a families love for each other focuses into a very clear snapshot of perfect love. A Love that takes steps to protect each other from as much hurt as necessary. A love willing to cover up their own pain to ease the burden for the other. A Love that sees through the stoic front, reaches past the facade to embrace and share the burden together.

      Each Soul we are introduced to here on our earthly journey carries lessons of Wisdom they may not even be aware of themselves.

      In a majestic unfolding of Divine moments of Wisdom each unique lesson will become clear to those it was intended to reach.

      Each souls lesson joins with other lessons, and like tiny snowflakes of Love, Hope, and Joy  angelic souls’ messages blanket the earth with the purest message of Warmth and Divine Love.

      Like a warm blanket being wrapped around you when you are cold and afraid, let the beautiful blanket of Hope, Joy and Love wrap you and quiet your fears during times of confusion, grief and sorrow. It is then when we feel the continued angelic support and unending Love that our Loved One’s share with us.

      With Respect, Hope, Joy and Love,    Carmela

    • Allow The Drops Of Sorrow To Cleanse The Rage, Pray For Peace Through Acts of Love

      Posted at 9:54 AM by carmelasnelbaker

      Deep wounds cause pain. Everyone reacts differently to pain, some scream in pain, some lash out and try to inflict pain onto others, some stoically endure pain. If we are unable to explain why some individuals lash out so violently, how then can we ever hope to live in peace with others?

      My heart hurts equally for all who have endured pain and loss this week. My heart longs to understand why people react so differently to pain.

      Understanding the reaction to pain emotional or physical is what could bring peace.

      Fear enrages pain, and Love calms pain. As I am writing this I cannot stop thinking of the elderly lady I met many years ago. The detailed story you can read by clicking here. This beautiful lady lived through the murder of her daughter. Her explanation of the events that she recounted to me seemed too unbearably difficult for anyone to get through.

      I talked with her about how she was able to keep the rage, anger and unfairness of the hate filled act that took her daughters life from taking over. Simply hearing the series of events she explained made me wonder how any mother could live through such horror and not be consumed with rage and anger. She very simply said it was my faith that got me through it. Her Gentle spirit continued to explain to me that it was not easy but she had many loving people who supported her and she prayed.

      This also makes me think of the Amish School shooting and the reactions of the Amish people after the horrific act, in offering forgiveness.

      It is through faith and love from within the heart that cleanses the rage and allows the sorrowful drops that emerge as tears to wash away the need for rage-full acts of revenge.

      Humans beings need and long to be heard. Everyone has a story that needs to be told. Expressing our feelings and having another person listen with respect and concern makes us feel valued and loved. When this does not happen our self esteem is compromised. When we do not feel and live with self respect how then can we show and share respect for others and life itself.

      It is never to late to reach out for Divine Wisdom Strength and Love. Whenever you feel pain of any kind pray, breath, and Believe in Divine Strength to endure. The answer is never in hurting someone else because you are hurting yourself.

      When you give love it comes back to you. Even if you do not feel the love returned from the person you extend love to, your life will still be filled with Love and Peace. No person who acts and gives Love ever lives without Love. Love is multiplies when it is given.

       

      When you are at your lowest and pray for guidance to a higher power outside of your limited human abilities, the strength to act in love will take over to tame the emotional pain and rage.

      It is the brokenness of a soul staying stuck within the human confinement of the body, and not looking to heaven for strength and guidance to get through difficult and painful events, that causes a person to want to inflict the same pain they are experiencing on another individual.

      Before God we are equally wise—equally foolish.  ~ Albert Einstein

      brokenness

      Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. For the Lord grants wisdom! ~Proverbs 2:2,6
