A Morning Message!

As I was waking up this morning, I floated from dreaming to waking. In this dream I was walking up the Attic stairs in the home where I grew up. I heard wind chimes as I climbed the steps I knew so well. When I got to the top, I remember seeing a very neat looking bird feeder and thought, "I will have to take that home for the birds." This feeder was hanging from an old lamp that was hanging from the ceiling. I saw other things hanging from the ceiling and the attic seemed a lot less cluttered than it used to be. I then felt something with me. I was frightened and that old "fight or flight" response kicked in. I then received a message. Stop fighting!
Then my mind was filled with thoughts and words and as I awoke, I tried to put them into sentences. I will try now.
We hear sayings like "fight for your rights", "put up a good fight", fight for our freedom" etc. The message I was receiving was replace that fight with love. When we are fighting something we are pushing it away and there is a struggle that goes along with this fighting. The struggle could be physical but usually it is emotional. We waste a lot of energy doing this and of course there is someone or something pushing back also wasting a lot of energy.
Isn't it better to send love to the other person or the situation? Wouldn't it be better to "Love your enemies?" If we could only put down our swords and try to find peace by looking deep within and bringing that Love and Light forward instead of anger. Be an example to others of how we can find loving ways to settle disagreements.
There will be people and situations that will cause us pain. We will want to fight back. The message is to take time and let the pain heal and instead of fighting find a way to forgive and send love instead. Just imagine what kind of world we would have if everyone could do this.
