Helping 

A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignities. That we humans can help each other is one of our unique human capacities.
-His Holiness the Dalai Lama

What helps one may hinder another.
What feeds one may poison another.
What empowers one may weaken another.
What encourages one may stop another.

How can I be of help?
How can I serve?
How can I give what I might want to receive?
How can I listen and hear what is really being said?
How can I offer my best which may not be enough?
How can I trust all is well when I fear for myself?

When I am at peace in God with perfect trust in the Highest outcome, I can give you my peace.
When I am at home with God's presence, I can be present withyou and know God is there.
When I am in love and see Love in You and in Me, I know Love loves us both endlessly.
When I am not the doer or the deed but the channel through which the doing is done, I am enough.

May you rest in God and know all is well with you.

Our world offers roadblocks to make us stop and look for the high way.
Our relationships offer us upsets to see where we are seeking to get instead of to give.
Our minds offer us confusion, conflict and despair, cloudy whether to block to sun.
Our Spirits offer us clarity, creativity and hope, to shine on our path.
Our friends offer us affirming prayer, presence and peace to remind us of Love.
Our listening offers loving reminders to return us to our wholeness and holiness.

To be truly helpful, look to where the help really is.
See beyond this world of apparency into the heart of Reality, the Soul of Love.

Loving you, one and all,
Betty Lue

P.S.
To love one is to love them all.
To listen within is to awaken all to listen to God.
To serve one with all your heart, is to serve them all.
To give wholeheartedly to just one is to give to all.
To see even one being with total forgiveness and perfect peace is to heal us all.
