These are perilous times we live in ..

He who trusts in the Lord,
Mercy shall surround him ..

May The Lord, May The Lord,

May His Face, and His Grace,

And Give you Peace,
And Give you Peace

In the late 1980s/90, I used this as one of the 'morning wake-up songs' for my little daughters. I'd start the music, and soon they'd emerge from their bedroom, moving so swiftly, their arms flying and flitting in a free-dance around my beautiful living room-- looking like dancing-angels in their night-gowns.

In this video, there's one woman doing the motions of a dance that is actually a circle dance for women. In her mind, she dances 'in her spot' with the movements of 'her own part'. With and in her imagination, she dances in simultaneous steps WITH the spirit of a circle of sisters.

WE, Do Our Part in This Dance Together ..

The text of the song is from holy scriptures--
Old Testament book of the prophets--
The Book of Isaiah,
Chapter 61, verses 1 through 3.

We are not alone, we are not alone--
We are not alone, for God is With Us.

We are not alone, we are never alone--
For God Is With Us!

We are never alone-- for God is with us.
We, We are not alone
Now, through all our days,
All ways,
For ever and ever ..

We are never alone
for God is With Us

We are not alone, we are not alone

And God will make us strong
For God is With Us
We, we will press on
For God is With us

Through all our days
All ways .. God is with us, God is with us
For ever and ever.
We are never alone!

Forever and ever .. We Are Never Alone.
Our God is with us

Amazing spiritual, mystical/metaphysical description of "consciousness"! Also speaks of the numerology.

In the Christian (and Jewish) Traditions,
this Full Moon in Libra (tonight) astronomically marks important Remembrances, of the other-worldly manifestation of Great Miracles that had occurred, in the midst and at the end of a season of harshness, weights, hopelessness and human tribulation.

A Transformation Occurred
Changing Forms, Changing Definitions.

Week of Remembrances
that which leads to Transformations

* The Hebrew People became a Liberated Nation..
Found themselves in bondage as a coalesced group of people, under Babylonian Captivity of 400 years. A Leader rose up among them (Moses). Under direction of God, this Nation of Tribes, were released and relocated en masse (as one Body) during this special portal of time.
A series of miracles occurred building to their Release! They found themselves in pursuit by their Captors trying to bring them back. The Red Sea was blocking their entrance to their land of Liberation. God, through Moses, cause that Sea to split apart and give them dry passage to the shores of their new land. Once they crossed, the walls of waves were released, falling upon and drowning their enemies. That portal closed behind them, and a new existence lay in front them. New Birth.

* The relatively small number of organized follower's of Jesus, watched the popularity of their Leader rising high. They had so many Hopes, that 'this' man would solve injustices and take control in an 'earthly' form as King of Their Nation.... only to see him turned over to the local authorities, unjustly accused-- whipped, beaten, and condemned to death in crucifixion with criminals in a public execution.
They saw him (and their hopes aspirations and dream of being an earthly Nation) shockingly DIE in the 'material physical form'..
Wanting to give him a proper burial (after the Feast of Passover) the Women arrived to his grave, only to find that His Body had been Transformed and that He had RISEN (JUST as He said, but in a way they hadn't been able to Understand).
He first appeared in his Etheric Body form to Mary (The Magdalene) who at first thought he was the gardener-- but at his calling her Name, she 'realized' it was Him!!
He continued to appear and Teach them while in his Etheric form for 40 Days after mortal death, then one day they WATCHED him Ascend to the Heavens .. as He told them He WILL Return in the 'same way' they are seeing him leave in visual form.
He did not leave them Comfortless--
Once He was JOINED with The Father (Source), The SPIRIT (that emanated from the Love) was sent and rested upon them (in a form of Flames). They were Transformed (inwardly Changed) into a new form of being. (Spiritually RE-Created.) 'Made SUCH an impact! It was TRULY the moment of Birth for this Body of Believers, called The Christian Church.

There now exist a meld of Jewish and Christian believers. Messianic Jews.

As usual?... Arguments continue among all those factions also.

These next two persons were Believers
who had been with us for a while as members of LL.
They now don't live in this incarnate bodily form, but exist on the other side of this flesh life.

I name them during this Holy Remembrance Week

* It's the Calendar Anniversary of the passing of LL's RunAroundScreaming (author of this thread on Prayers).

* I shall also Remember with her, LL Shulia who left this earthly form, in similar fashion.

Remembering both of you today.
Thanking you for your Contributions to our lives, while you were both here.

{And for the passings of any other former members over the years, whom I didn't know, I acknowledge your spirit this week.}

It's almost the Birthday of the person known as Linda Goodman (April 9). This website was made {by Randall} as a Memorial to her.

COVID-19 Victims of current World-Wide Pandemic
(Discovered end of December 2019)
Then spread throughout the World.
Vaccination programs have been started.
We might still have several years of battling this, until Immunity is established.

In the meantime, HEAVY Losses are sustained.
Here in the USA, and in other Nations of this World--
Cruel Losses of Life by a virus that had never been recognized before,
and that went unchecked for far too much time.

As death left its victim's bodies behind, a majority of them have families, friends, and Communities experiencing the PAIN of their Loved One's Passing. Sooo much Grief hangs over many Living Souls that have been Left Behind.

This Moon is part of the Awakening of Spring! New Life on the Northern Hemisphere...
Or the Celebration of the beginnings of Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere--
Time of Seeing The Earth in FULL Bounty.

Venus as Taurus,
Venus as Libra

This FULL Moon Libra (sign ruled by Venus) also appropriately in partnership (Moon opposite Sun = Full Moon) with the Aries Sun, Chiron, and Venus --
features Sun Aries (Life-Giver),
Venus (the Love) and Chiron (the Pain-holder);
working to Heal our Sense of Missing-Relationships with the physical letting go of Loved Ones who 'left us' behind, to live our lives without them.
Woundings that 'took a piece of us' with them;
leaving a pain that may never seem to heal.

Time may heal to a certain extent--
and some Losses have pierced our Hearts,
Pierced our Soul.

When I had my ears pierced as a teenager, I noticed that it's a permanent 'hole'. The ear may seal itself along the round edges OF that hole--
but the pain-pierce, the hole-itself
always remains.
Something Missing

May Each Beloved Earthly Soul be visited by a Compassionate Angel during this time of mourning. May that Comforting Spirit enfold you.. touch you, releasing what may seem to never go away.

May Each Soul that has found Liberty on the Other Side, send a corresponding Refreshing Wind of Influence and Healing Upon The Earth-- for each individual person who Hurts.

It's been harsh for the past few years.
Covid-Infection PANDemic has struck down
MANY Lives.

In the USA we have had 750,000 DEATHS
from Covid-19.

That's 750,000 souls... some are mothers, fathers, children---
There are Thanksgiving Table Family Gatherings with souls MISSING on this Feast Day 2021.

And MANY other Nations have lost Souls from this Earth by this terrible sickness.

My Condolences for those Families (and Friends) around the World, who have had Loved Ones pass. It's HARD when you LOVE someone soooo much and they are GONE from your physical Life and Presence.

Praying for Healing, Peace, and Blessing.

I've held her memory in my thoughts during the Lenten season, and for Easter -- when she chose to end her own life.

Praying that your Soul has found Rest and Peace, RAS.

______
I've been going through ordeals.
May lose all my personal belongings? {hope not}

Seeking entry into a homeless shelter this week {most likely scenerio!~~ I cannot SEE any other way, NOR do I have Human Helpers around me right now.}.

Was told by a help-agency person/?socialWork? that I (a Senior) am financially (just-barely) "too poor" to be helped through their circles of resources -- just-miss qualifying for Federal {by $3.50/mo} OR the State Housing lists {by ~$30.00/month} through the network of agencies encountered in this State I relocated to, April 1 2022.

It will be my 67th Birthday
next Sunday May 29.
Starting off my Solar Return
on the streets and looking for bunk/cot in a shelter?
And for soup kitchens for FINDING my "Daily Bread" ..
jUST Wow............

So sad ... and out of truly bizarre circumstances.

Story here
With Prayers for Any who are Struggling this week!
Astrologically not the greatest sky to be enduring THIS MUCH struggle in life.

Like folks praying that a person
named Betty will soon bo free of her
pain and agony😢👽
Then Betty dies soon after the
prayers and spells whatever👽😢
People then boo hoo
oh my god why did Betty die 👽😢⁉️
Well intentioned but not well worded👽😢
prayers and summons and spells
will more often than not take
the quickest and
simplest way to manifest
what was
prayed for and so forth👽😢
Betty is indeed as folks had desired
for her
to be free of her suffering
because the focus of the prayers,
this Betty has died.👽😢

No prayers for me please👽👽👽

Wishes for miracles to improve my life and allow me to still be here at least
another 17 years at LindaLand💞💞💞😎🌈
That would be greatly appreciated 😎💞🌈

In my experiences and researching,
I firmly advise against praying
for someone to be set free from
free of pain and suffereing
without taking a serious moment to to consider what the potential
and often unexpected
ramifications and outcomes
of such prayers and wishes and so
forth can end up manifesting.👽👽👽
A point to make about children an
well meant prayer traumas😢
My mother made me pray every night
to have her god come take me if
my damaged heart gave out👽😢
That is a horrible thing to drill
into a little childs sleepy brain😢👽
I would fret until exhausted and finally
fall asleep because in my young terrified
point of view
I felt that she wanted her god to
kill and take me because
I was an ill child and a burden👽😢
Shudders 👽😢

Please pardon any weird typos and autofills 👽
