The battle of the Absolute and the relative

Many mornings I have that battle! Here is how it goes:

I always want to write down the day's Heavenletter first thing every morning. When I do, I begin and end in peace.  This is always my intention. And this is, unquestionably, the right thing to do.

But when I open the computer, some mornings I am not so strong or disciplined as I want to be. There are all the emails calling to me. "Open me. Open me," they say.  My inbox says, "Gloria, you don't know what treasures there may be for you here today. Come to me before you write down a Heavenletter."

And sometimes, the Inbox and emails win, and I lose!

True, there are always those treasures in the Inbox. Accompanying them, however, there are usually matters to take care of as well. Someone isn't receiving his Heavenletters, for example, and I scurry to the data base to see what I can find.  Or, believe it or not, there is an email that says: "Please remove me from your mailing list." There are, without fail, the uplifting emails,  and pretty much, there are also the mundane ones requiring me to act on them, and I become submerged in them.

When it comes to writing down Heavenletters, God is always uplifting. I'm always glad when I go to God first and make emails wait.

This morning it was God first. Yesterday it was God first. Who in her right mind wouldn't choose God first every day?!!!

Yet, tomorrow, emails might grab me by the nape of my neck, and say, "Get over here now.  I have great surprises for you," and I could succumb.

God is patient, and always waits.
