Gratitude Seedlings: Unfurled Blessings: Beautiful Weed:(Unedited): 06 July 2016:

By doing more than expressing gratitude of your past. Your thankfulness Shall become those seedlings of a hopeful future to come. 

C.J.MacKechnie

=====================
 it is easy to express thanks without actually feeling the gratitude within you. Especially, when cultural and social expectations almost force/demand you to express thanks for things or when an occurrence for your behalf has been finished.
Can you take gratitude to that next level above cultural or social expectations?
Can you take gratitude to that level where not only are you thankful for all of the good things which have come to you in life but for all of the bad things as well?
Because the good things can make you a stronger or better human being when it was you who had created your own trials and tribulations. What do I mean by this? The person who takes that very difficult class does their personal best with a huge effort and comes out with a "C-". The nonathletic or disabled person who takes a karate class and achieves their highest belt rating. Even if it is not a black belt. The adult person who has spent 10-20 years and finally learns the alphabet. The athlete who does their thing for hours everyday not because they have to but because they have to. Do you understand the difference. There is a difference.
Once you achieve your thing. You become better for it. Are you ready for the ugly.
Those who have been abused and tortured throughout their lives and becomes free of it. First is forgiveness and then the process of being thankful can begin. How can someone forgive a person who repeatedly rapes a young person over much time? That one is tough for me to fathom and yet I can and have forgiven my dead adoptive parents for what they have done to me. I have forgiven those who knew and yet did nothing. I have forgiven those who knew I was a waste of effort or time.
Forgiveness had to be first and more than just words. Even though I had to express forgiveness often and over many years.
All of the bad and sad which occurred in your life and in mine. Was our crucible forced upon us and we survived it all. Granted it may have been by the skin of your/my teeth or by an awful lot of lucky things which happened in unexplained timings. It was all of those unwanted and undesired things which has made you who you are today. Are you better for it? Are you stronger for it? Will you become better from those fires of living in virtual hell all of those years and decades?
Becoming north of 50 Years old. I can say I've become a better human being because of all of the abuses and tortures I have endured in my life. If it wasn't my body it would have been another body.

So what can happen when after you have genuinely forgiven and have genuinely become thankful of your unfortunate past? Those are two of your own seedlings in which you will have to grow, to cherish, to love, to nourish. Then just wait and see the blessings unfurl like a most beautiful of flower.

Beautiful Weed: (Unedited): 06 July 2016:

Even a unwanted, unloved, and abused weed which has been denied and poisoned from anything positive. Can yet show it's own beautiful flower if the weed just doesn't ever give up. Always show your wonderful beauty in-spite of those who only want to continuously trample you. 

C.J.MacKechnie

=================
Personal Note: I do not believe in "Luck" in any degree. Unexplained spooky good things which is beyond physical and mental awareness can happen for your benefit. Which is reflective of an emotional intelligence behind the unexplained happenings. Which is why a phrase dumb luck can be expressed by unaware and unbelieving people.

Unhealthy Blind: (Unedited): 25 March 2013:

Unhealthy Pride breeds a blind arrogance. C.J.MacKechnie

===========================================================
Once arrogance is manifested by a prideful person. Only instant lessons in humility can become a hopeful cure. Sometimes repeated lessons are necessary. Until the persons arrogant pride is destroyed.
============================================================
If the person or leadership has become completely infested with arrogant pride. All who look up to and/or follow will also endure the suffering of complete loss, death and destruction.
============================================================
With arrogant pride also comes the self permission to do whatever it may will of itself. Including sin, torture, genocide and the choice of extinction of all life.

Slave Candidate 1 and 2: (Unedited): 22 Dec 2012:

A person who has zero hopeful plans for personal, professional and spiritual improvement. Is a good candidate to become a slave.  C.J.MacKechnie

===========

A person who only lives for the personal gratification they receive this day. Is a good candidate to be enslaved.  C.J.MacKechnie

=========
Any person who only wants for the pleasures to be received right now. Can easily sell themselves into slavery, when immediate gratification is the daily payment for labor completed.
This is also for the young person who feels it is not necessary to effort an education greater than the minimum standard. The greater your continued education the greater the guarantee of your freedom.
Any person who mocks, curses and belittles you for doing more than the minimum standard in any category of education, training, professionalism and etc. Only wants you to remain as enslaved as they have or will become. This also includes the accusations of trying to be of another race or skin tone. Especially when the concept of race is a provable lie and deception.
A slave will blindly believe anything and everything the masters teach. To the slave truth does not matter. To the master only control and authority over the slave matters. To the master the illusion of supremacy is required to keep the slaves in line and to prevent them from thinking to much. (Watch the movie "A Bugs Life").
To remain a slave don't think and ask no questions. To remain free always think and always ask questions.
==================
Those who are in authority are the hoppers. Those who blindly and mindlessly follow the hoppers are the grasshoppers, or the useful idiots as coined and used by certain Communist Leaders. Those who are the ants is everyone else, Including those defined as your enemies by the Hoppers and Grasshoppers.

================
We are all one humanity, one species and one family. When all of the common peoples unite together to love one another, to live in peace with each other and to exist in harmony. Then we all can find a very rich life we all can live with great meaning.
==================

If you cannot separate yourself from the lies and deceptions of the separation and division of the races. Then you, your family and your entire church will/may not be one of the elect, protected, saved or raptured. You must begin to know and believe that we are a single race of beings called humans. We are all brother and sister to one another.  

The DNA fingerprinting was established in 1984. Read it well. Believe the truth and reject the lies you have only known as truth.

The history of humanity told by many different traditions. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_and_Eve

===================

From about 8 minutes and 50 seconds to the introduction of the European leader. Listen good. This was in 26 June 2000.

====================

Research for yourself the Human skin. learn how it is the largest organ of the human body. Learn about all of the primary functions of the human skin. Then learn about the minor function of the coloring of the skin. Learn how if you lose a primary function of the skin. You can die. Where as if you lose your skin coloring. You will just be uncomfortable, but still living with possible social ridicule. Now, after you have learned all about your human skin. Ask yourself this. Why do we not compare other organs of the body with other people such as the liver, kidneys, gall bladder and etc. How come there isn't racial stereo types for those who can drink much alcohol and those who cannot drink? Why? Race or the coloring of the skin is illogical and without actual fact.
