A Fortunate Birth

What is a fortunate Birth?

It is a lifetime where you not only can help yourself, you can help others too.

This is a fortunate birth.

It is understanding what life is about young enough so you don't destroy yourself with drink and drugs and excess of all kinds.

It is having enough mental and physical health where you can be grateful for what you have.

Because Gratitude is the motor of life.

It is the joy of learning and becoming more enlightened every single day.

Even when life is very difficult, you turn a corner and somehow it gets better.

In my own life I wondered why God was trying to kill me with Blunt Trauma childhood epilepsy fro ages 10 to 15.

But then God turned this condition into something that kept me out of the draft and the Viet Nam War.

I wondered why I felt suicidal when the girl I was going to marry and I broke up when I was 21.

But, God had other plans for me even though it took me 4 years to get over her. I just met a lot of new ladies and if they loved me I had to stay alive for them.

Later I realized there was more than one girl I had been in love with. How confusing is that?

I didn't even understand that was possible at 18, 20 or 21.

But, that wasn't why I was born.

I was born a fortunate birth because I had something to share with many beings both here in the U.S. and around the world.

However, it took me years to discover this and to become who God wanted me to.

As a teen I would have said to you I was lucky to be born in the U.S. to good parents.

However, I might not have described this to you as a fortunate birth then.

However, now I am in my late 60s and looking at all of my life I see God there every moment teaching me how to be from my conception to the present and onward.

And I see my whole life as a very fortunate birth. And I am very very grateful both for my sake and for yours that this is true. By God's Grace.
