Staying at Home: Love Me Tender Share a tender moment you’ve had with a family member or friend during the lockdown time. A moment you’ll treasure when this is all over. My sister called on Wednesday, April 15, to ask how I was doing. We had a pleasant talk about the weather, the lack of activities in Searchlight, and the fact that I still need to get a blood draw before I see Dr. Lim. On Tuesday, April 14, I got a text from my brother about the his DNA results from Ancestry.com. On Wednesday, my roommate fix her specialty French bread pizza. |

Day 2102: Eat. Love. Pray. Use these words I your Blog entry today. I pray "Intone, O My servant, the verses of God that have been received by thee, as intoned by them who have drawn nigh unto Him, that the sweetness of thy melody may kindle thine own soul, and attract the hearts of all men. Whoso reciteth, in the privacy of his chamber, the verses revealed by God, the scattering angels of the Almighty shall scatter abroad the fragrance of the words uttered by his mouth, and shall cause the heart of every righteous man to throb. Though he may, at first, remain unaware of its effect, yet the virtue of the grace vouchsafed unto him must needs sooner or later exercise its influence upon his soul. Thus have the mysteries of the Revelation of God been decreed by virtue of the Will of Him Who is the Source of power and wisdom." I meditate on the four types love as spoken of by 'Abdu'l-Baha in Paris Talks56: The love of God for humanity; The love of humanity for God: The love of God for His own Identity; The love of the individual human being for another human or other humans. I eat to live! To experience another day of prayer, and of God's love. Footnotes |
