- A Course in Miracles
I was beginning my evening meditation, softening my body, concentrating on my breath. In my
mind I saw a girl about 20. She had dark eyes and hair falling to chin level. She
looked radiant as she announced,
"Get a message to Marcy."
Marcy is my good friend. The girl said she appreciated the opportunity and
kindness Marcy had given her. She said she hadn't had a chance to let Marcy
know how much the connection meant. She said Marcy had seemed to see value and
beauty in her she hadn't been able to see in herself. She said that by hiring
and befriending her, Marcy had shown belief in her, and that even though she
hadn't been able to find her way out of her darkness, her soul carried love and
gratitude for what had been given.
When I called, Marcy was at first bewildered. Her silence was finally broken by, "Yes.
That's who it is" She then reminded me how
15 years earlier she'd run a high-end children's clothing store. She'd hired
Jenna as a part-time sales associate. She had spent time training Jenna and a bond of
friendship had begun. It ended when Jenna died from a drug overdose.
This message reminds me that loving kindness resonates beyond time. The soul of the person to
whom you give such gifts carries
gratitude for eternity.
