I am saddened that I wasn’t able to renew, to share, my life and friendship again with Linda. I forward this prayer in hopes that it will comfort her family.
I am knowing right now that this wonderful life is infinite and that the magnificent infinite Source of All is here, now, in the midst of all that is taking place with the Beadles family. This endless love, abiding joy and infinite peace moves and breathes right at the center of this occasion, and with it is the healing presence of understanding and comfort for all concerned.
I know for the soul of my departed friend, Linda that she is free and fulfilled in her forward journey and that this wonderful expression of life has been easily birthed. As these words are spoken, and as Linda’s soul is honored and recognized this day, she is overflowing with new awareness, and a glory of light that uplifts her, soothes her and fills her with joy.
I know for her family on this human plane, the great and abiding gift of letting go, the heartfelt understanding that love and life are truly eternal and this is one more profound lesson of their relationship with Linda. I know for all of these family members that this love for their departed is one more doorway to Divine understanding and that as they move through this experience, each individual spirit is more realized in some new way.
And so I am peaceful, grateful and full on this occasion. The wonderful workings of the Eternal are so completely revealed in this human realm, on this occasion of Linda’s celebration of life.
And so I am grateful to witness it, to accept it as done and to know that life, love and the wisdom of the Divine heart continues on. And it is so now.
My Love and Blessings,
