Lindalee's birthday dinner was fun, at a restaurant in the middle of nowhere with good country cookin' of seafood & steaks. Since it was her 50th, everyone wore black leighs. The pic is of her & niece Rachel, who said she wanted to go on the road with me, but alas, she can't cook & doesn't like to ride the Vespa.
On the way to dinner I spotted these horses with their young ones nursing & just had to take a pic or 2. If someone were to ask me what serenity looks like, this picture would come very close. I stood & watched them for several minutes & felt totally at peace with everything.
Yesterday I went by the Unity church nearby to find out the time for the Sunday service. They were having a garage sale & bake sale & having a ball doing it! I learned this morning there were 16 volunteers & they made over $500. I talked with several folks and they were all very warm & friendly. A piece of fresh lemon cake shouted me name & I was very glad to have it. Nothing like homemade cake!
The service at Unity this morning was just what I needed. A guest speaker from Greenville presented the service on Bread From Heaven and she gave out baggies with coriander seeds inside, along with the scriptures from Exodus that describe what went on. The seeds represented manna to help us understand how much work was required to gather it. For me the gist was that whenever we're in the wilderness, God provides just what we need, no more, no less. When we're in the land of prosperity, being in "manna mode" isn't necessary. But when we're in a place of desolation, we gather what we need which God provides for us daily.
After the service I spoke with several people, including a lady named Maya, a channeler & author. After speaking for several minutes, she said she'd been told to give me a message so we stepped outside & under the shade of a Japanese elm tree. She spoke of my travels, saying I had much to give to people. She also said, very firmly, "pick up your pen". I actually reached for the one in my pocket she spoke with such authority. She'll be in Oregon next year & invited me to visit life center being established there, which she plans to be part of. I feel like I will see her again & also feel very blessed to have met her.
Overall, it was one of the best experiences I've had at Unity in a long time. There were about 20 people at the service this morning and I liked the small, cozy atmosphere. This church will be a factor in when I come back here, maybe in September before I go to Charleston. We'll see...
