Dear Charles,
Dear Charles,
In the recent Sunday Morning in Heaven blog entry, I said: “There’s the thrill of receiving the day’s published Heavenletter in my inbox,” and you wrote:
Now isn’t that interesting! Somehow, Gloria, I would not have expected you to be thrilled at getting the Heavenletter of the day. After all, you were already the first person to see it as it was written. In fact I was surprised that you get it delivered daily just like we do. But after thinking about it I guess it’s not so strange after all. It’s like an extra present from God. You get the thrill the first time around when it is given to you and then you get a second thrill along with the rest of us. Pretty cool!!!
It is just like that when I read a Heavenletter that arrives in my inbox.
I love to go on and on about Godwriting™ and Heavenletters™ so I am making my response to you, dear Charles, a blog entry of its own.
There are really several things I want to say all at once, but in the world, we have to put one word after the other. Well, that’s how it is in the relative.
Just as you say, there is the thrill of writing down a Heavenletter, no doubt about that. At the same time, if someone gave you a diamond every day, after a while you would kind of expect it, and receiving another diamond isn’t always quite so thrilling as it was at the beginning. You still love it -- you recognize its diamondness -- yet there is that aspect where it becomes…er…uh…well, sort of routine. Even so, there is a thrill, and I would love to Godwrite all day. At the same time, Godwriting is just what I do in the morning.
Every bit of Heavenletters is my joy, and yet it is also my responsibility, my occupation, my business, so to speak, so, when I’ve finished writing down the Heavenletter in the morning, I’m glad it’s finished. I mean, it’s like I say to myself: “Oh, goody, that’s done.” That's at the same time I never want it to stop.
As soon as I write a Heavenletter down, I send this newly-written Heavenletter to a special address Heaven Admin has for Heavenletters and also to the archivist who gets them ready for publication. I sometimes do this without rereading the Heavenletter even once.
Did you know we’re five or six weeks ahead in Heavenletters now? The one you receive today was written weeks ago. We are so far ahead because sometimes God has it in His mind that He will have me take down three Heavenletters on a particular day! And, as you know, we send out only one Heavenletter a day.
Interestingly, God seems to give me extra Heavenletters most when I am having an extremely busy day! But I don’t argue with Him, not one bit. “Keep giving them to me, “ I say.
About ten days before you receive a Heavenletter, I go over it. You can say that I have the ulterior motive to catch typos and such. It’s not always so cut and dried, Charles, but it is usual that I’m then reading it with my left brain as an editor or schoolteacher might.
Only when the Heavenletter arrives in my Inbox, then am I a Heavenreader who reads the day’s Heavenletter for the pure joy of it. Sometimes the joy is overwhelming. I am wowed. I can hardly believe that my fingers really typed such beauty and love. Most often, I don’t remember the Heavenletter at all -- it is as if I had never read it before, and I'm reading it for the first time. I always look forward to reading the published Heavenletter to see what it's about, just as I imagine you do.
When I do the Cosmic Generator, and a Heavenletter from long ago pops up, it is indeed as if I had never seen it before. I don't remember it at all.

I can also make the same comparison when I saw Marlene's You Tube presentation of God Would Do a Song and Dance for You.

On You Tube, I saw God’s words with new eyes. I saw that it was poetry, each word beautiful, perfect. It was then that I could really see the beauty and power of the Heavenletter.
I think some of my newness with a Heavenletter, dear Charles, is part of God's being the Doer, and that I have very little to do with it. Long ago God made the comment that I was like a donkey who delivers His wares. I'm proud of that! I wouldn’t trade being a donkey for God for anything!
As always, thank you for your comments that make me think of a lot to say.
With love and blessings,
Gloria

What a wonderful occupation!! A deliverer of God's wares must be humbling and so fulfilling! Thanks, Gloria, for being a donkey for God for ALL THESE YEARS!
