Miraculous Moment #8 - Chapter #3 - After Opening the Package - I Departed From St Augustine - With the my "Answered Prayer" Gift

Please Note that... as -

This is a "3-part Chapter" - Conversation-Posting

That This Blog-entry is In Conclusion of Miraculous Moment #8 - Chapter #2

Hello Again...

I Hope You Won't Mind... My Sidetracking "Right From the Start" Today...

As it Is Just That - Before I Delve Any Further Into - The Next -

Explanatory-Section - of Miraculous Moment #8 -

Concerning How the Dragonfly "Symbolically-Came" into My Life

!!!!!!!!

I'd Like To be Able to Share with You First...

& Hence - Right "Here & Now" - In This 3rd Chapter Section...

Not Just - The Soul-Searching Anticipation - Which I Was Experiencing on That Day...

While Excitingly Reaching Down into...

& Carefully Retrieving From the Small Bag;

Which The Store Clerk Whom I'd Recently Mentioned in Chapter #2 Had Given Me...

"First" The Explanatory-Card - Shown in Next Photo Below;

That Was Accompanying "Something-????" - Still Unknown to Me - in a 1 by 2" Box

??????

Followed Next by -

Everything Else - That Had Metaphorically Unfolded - in Both My Mind & Soul -

Whilst Reading That Card - & Then Actually Discovering - What the White Box Contains

As I'd Like to "ALSO" Be Able - to Share With You - Right Now...

The Enshrining Emotionally-Ways - That I'd Quickly Found Myself...

"Once Again" Reminiscing Over -

Upon My Beginning to Memorably-Relive; With You Today -

The Very 1st Time - That I'd Actually Read Those Printed Words...

The Multiple-Ways in Which I've Learnt - Through & During Previous Spiritual Journeys -

Such as This One...

The Variable Ways in Which My (Our) -

"Spiritual Boss Upstairs"

Responds to "ALL" - of My (Our) Verbalized & Also "Silent" Conversations & Requests

Amen

& Yet - Not Always in -

A "Prayer Fulfilling-Response" or "Acknowledgement Form" -

As I (We) Would've Either Liked or Preferred - For Our Prayer to Have "Resulted" in!

& Which Explains Why - & How - I Had (Eventually) Learnt - Over the Years -

And More Often Than Not - the "Hard-Lesson Way"...

That The Phrases -

"Think Carefully First - of Whatever You Actually Pray For"

"Or Perhaps" -

"What - "Exactly" - You're Asking"

Our -

"Spiritual Boss Upstairs"

"To Do for You"

?????!!!!!!?????

Are Obviously Sagacious -

"Prayer Request" & "Warning Maxims" -

That We Should "Continuously" Try Our Best to Practice -

"Before" -

We Actually Verbalize... What We "Truly Want" - Our...

"Spiritual Provider"

To Somehow - Bless Either Ourselves (Personally) or Our Friends & Loved Ones - With

Now of Course - Please... Don't Ever Think That - I Am "Either Upset"...

Or - Feeling "Any Frustration - At All" Towards... My -

"Spiritual-Parent & Guide - Upstairs"

Because of -

"THEIR"

Prayer-wording Lessons

Like What I Just Mentioned to You

!!!!!!

As I'm Just Simply - Recollecting How...

Even My "Mortal-Parents" - Would of Also - Continually Done -

Exactly The Very Same "Parental" Actions - While They Too - Were Trying to Teach Me -

To Always Think Carefully "First"...

of The "TRUE" Meaning -

Behind the "Words" Which I'm Using - While Communicating With Others

& Hence... My Mortal Father Had Shown Me... Time & Time Again...

& Just Like My (Our) -

"Heavenly One"

Still Does!

That - I Should Always - Try to Be - "Really Sure"...

That - "Nothing" - Which I've Either "Said"... Nor "Asked"... Towards "Anyone"...

Could Somehow Be... Either Assumingly-Twisted or Misconstrued... By Others

For example - When it Comes To How Certain Words Can Be Translated -

In a Continuous Mixture of Never-ending Variants...

There's the Interesting Ways in Which -

We've Unfortunately Ended up - With Such a High-Multitude of -

Different Religions, Churches, & Non-Denominational Biblical-followers...

That're Each Using - The Very Same Written Words - For Their Denomination's "Instruction Manual"

And Yet - They Are Unable to "Fully" Agree on -

What "Exactly" Those Ancient-Words & Instructions - are Actually Telling us...

Concerning -

The Ways In Which We Are to "TRULY" Live-out & Fulfill Our Spiritual-Calling -

During Our Mortal Life

!!!!!!

Of Course - What I Personally Find Amusing - Is That - Not One of Those Churches...

That Have (During the Last 2 centuries) Broken Away From Another Church...

Basically Because They Didn't Agree on - The Way Certain "Scriptures" Were...

Being Translated by That Denomination; Which They've Chosen to Depart From...

ACTUALLY - Can't Seem to Understand - WHY Certain People "Such as Myself"

Have "Personally Chosen" to Break Away From - "All The Churches"

For The Exact Same Reason

!!!!!

Of Course...

The Good News - I Guess - is That People Like Myself...

Have Now given Those Churches - 2 Things Which They (Each Denomination) Can -

Fully Agree on...

With # 1 Being That - We Should Always Try to Follow The Instructions in The Bible...

& # 2 Being - That People Like Myself - Don't Follow The Scripture-Words of Our -

"SPIRITUAL BOSS UPSTAIRS"

(& Although We Obviously Do)

!!!!!!!

Oh Well - Fortunately For Me... & Many Others Out There...

We Know That - What a Church Thinks of Anyone - Doesn't Affect The Final-Outcome...

Because - As I Had shared With You in Another Previous Chapter -

I Was - During a Church-Judgmental Moment in My Life -

Being - Spiritually-Told - Directly By The -

"Spiritual Boss Upstairs"

"Mary - Be NOT AFRAID - of What Others Tell You -

For -

"I AM" The Final Judge Over All"

OK Now - I Hope You Won't Mind - Me Going Even a "Bit Further-off" Track Here -

But - It is Just That - Via - Me Re-living With You -

That "Verbal-translated Advice" - From My -

"Spiritual Parent"

Amen

I Found That - I Was Once Again Clearly Recollecting..

My Mortal Father Giving Me...

Over 50 Years Ago Now -

One of His Parental Lessons on - Wording - Translations - & Sentence Structuring -

Which Had Begun to Unfold - On The Day... That I Had Asked Him -

"Can I - Go Over To My Friend's House - Right Now"

???????

And To Which He Had Quickly Replied -

"Yes... You Can Go"

!!!!!

& So - I Had Then... Ambitiously Proceeded to Put on "All" of My Heavy Winter Gear...

Since I Was Having to Walk a Rather Chilling-Distance to My Destination

& Which - I Might Add - Took a While to Complete - Due to All of The Layers of it

!!!!!!!!!

BUT THEN - It Was - Upon The Exact-Moment - That I Reached for That Door-handle -

As I Had Assumed - That I Was "Finally" Able to Step Outside -

That - My Father - Calmly Looked Upward From Where He'd Remained Seated...

at The Kitchen Table (During All of My Layering-Preparations) & While Continuing to -

Quietly Read His Newspaper...

& "Now" (That I'm About to "Finally" Step Out That Door) Asked Me -

"Excuse Me - But Where Do You Think - You're Heading off to Right Now?"

????????????

I (of Course) Quickly Replied -

"I Am Going to My Friend's House... Like I'd Asked You"

!!!!

He Replied -

"Oh No You're Not - As You Have to Finish Your School-Homework First -

Before You Go Anywhere"

!!!!

I of Course Replied -

"What Do You Mean?... I Heard You Clearly Say - That I Can Go!"

!!!!!

He Calmly Replied -

"Yes... I Know That - I Said You "CAN GO" to Your Friends...

& Which You & I "Both" Know - That You "CAN" In Fact Do...

As You're Fully Capable of Walking Over There...

However - You Didn't Ask Me - Whether or Not - You "MAY" Go...

And We Both Know That - The Answer to That Question - Would of Been -

"No"... "You MAY NOT Go" - "Not Until, You've Finished Your Home-work"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um... Ok... I'm Sorry For "Side Tracking" There...

During This ALREADY - "Opening Sidetracking Conversation"...

However... It Is Just That - I Quite Often Tend to - Reflexingly Recall -

Some of My "Mortal Father's" Grammar-Lessons...

Whenever I'm Recollecting - Some of The -

"Verbalized into a Prayer-Request"

Experiences

That I've Received - Directly From My -

"Spiritual-Guardian"

Amen

As My Mortal-Dad... Had Always Worked Under The -

Well-known Written Paternity-Management Program - of My -

"Spiritual-Parent Upstairs"

And Therefore - Tended To Work Hard at Following - The Protocol-Words -

That Are Easily Found Written in -

"THEIR" Main Instruction-Manual

And So... Getting Back on Track Again Here...

& Although I Haven't Actually Been "Completely On It Yet" Today...

The Other "Prayer Point" - Which I Was Wanting to Make... is That -

Along With - What I Have Already Shared With You...

About Proper & Correct (& Safely Translated) - "Prayer or Conversation Wording"

!!!!!!!

What "Also" Amazes Me...

Is -

The Multiple-ways... In Which Our -

"Heavenly Maker"

Will "ALSO" Answer - Every "Single Prayer Request" -

That "Any" Mortal Gives -

"THEM"

In Such a "Blessedly Unique" & Angelically Personalized-Mannerism

Which is Both -

Suiting, Fitting & Hence Easily "Understandable"...

For The Person That's Currently Receiving -

"THEIR HEAVENLY"

Prayer-Answering Response & (or) Any of -

"THEIR" Spiritually Guiding-Messages - at Any Given Moment

Amen

And All of Which Explains Why... & How -

"Our Creator's"

Response -

To Any Person's Prayer or Spiritual-conversation...

Will Always... Make Perfect Clarified Sense...

To The Individual That The -

"Loving Powers That Be"

Is in Fact - Delivering - a Message - or Prayer Response-Answer To

Like Myself - During That Particular "St. Augustine" Moment in My Life

& Although... It Will Often - Not Make Any Sense "At All"... To Anyone Else

Of Course... Another One of The "Strong-Factors"... At Least For Me Personally...

That Makes -

"THEIR"

Prayer-Conversations...

With Each & Every - "Separate Individual"...

So Blessedly Unique... For Whoever... Is Asking My (Our) -

"Spiritual-Boss"

To Please - Somehow Help Them - to Be Able to Understand -

"Why" Certain Things are Occurring in Their Life... At Any Particular Moment

?????????

Is The "Extremely Personal & Private-knowledge" Ways - in Which -

ONLY -

"THEY"

Are in Fact Able - To Be - Answering Each & Every Prayer-Question... Which -

"THEY"

Are Currently Receiving From Any One of Us...

Amen

For No Matter How Open & Honest... Any Person Has Ever Been...

At Any Given Moment in Their Life...

With for Example - Either Their Closest Friends or Family & Partnering-Acquaintances

!!!!!!

There Will Still Be... Extremely Personal Moments That Occurred in One's Lifetime...

That Only They Themselves...

And of Course - Our -

"SPIRITUAL-MAKER"

Amen

Will Ever Be "FULLY" Aware of

!!!!!!!!!

Because Only -

"Our Creator & Spiritual-Guide"

!!!!!!!!

Knows Everything - That There is to Factually-Know -

About Every Living Thing - in The Whole Universe

Amen

& Which Explains Both - How & Why -

What Glorifying-ly Makes - Whatever We -

Personally -

Converse to -

"THEM"

Like What I Was Voicing-out - on The Upper Flybridge-lounge of That Boat...

Extremely Special & Inwardly-Calming

Amen

!!!!!!!!!

Is The Fact That - Thankfully...

"THEY"

(Unlike Mortals - Whom We Might Have Unfortunately - "Confidently" Spoken to)

Not Only Know - "Everything" That There is to Know - About Each One of Us"

AND are Therefore Able to 100% - "Fully Understand" - How We Are Currently Feeling -

Both Physically & Mentally - at Any Given Moment...

But - We Are Each "Also" Blessed With The Fact - That -

"THEY"

& Again - Unlike People We Might Have Confided in -

"Would NEVER"

Repeat - Nor Gossip-talk About - Whatever We've Personally -

Prayed - Nor Confessed - Over to -

"THEM" To Anyone Else

Anyway... As I Realize That - I Should Get Back on Verbal-Track AGAIN Here... Sighhhh

The Point That I Had Wanted to Make...

Before I Shared With You - How The Rest of This Moment In My Life Had Unfolded...

!!!!!!!!!

Is The Fact - That - "ONLY" - My -

"Spiritual Boss Upstairs"

Would of Known The Following Personal Things About Me...

Prior to When I Opened The Small Box - That Was Situated Below That Card...

In That Store's Bag

!!!!!!!!

For Nobody Else - Ever Knew That -

Beginning - From Way Back - & Even a Few Years "BEFORE" 1967...

& Which Means That Those Memorably Re-Lived Years - Were in Fact - "Over" -

a Decade-plus - Half a Century Ago - Today

That - I Had Begun to - On a Regular Bases... Often Wander off...

So that I Could Literally - Both "Physically & Mentally" - Be Sitting Here -

"All Alone"... In a Mortal-Sense of Those Words...

Near The Stream & Orchard-Pond (& Natural-irrigation Brook) Corner of Our Property

!!!!!!

In My Special - "Quiet & Completely Private Place"...

Which Was Really Well Camouflaged - In & Amongst - The Tall-Grassy Bank...

Located at The Steepest - "Lookout & Clear-Observation Edge" - of The Large Pond...

Located - At The Farthest Section of Our Family's Farm...

& Hence - Quite Distant From Where the 3 Farm Houses - Were All Situated

!!!!!!

As That Distant & Hence Completely-Private -

Pond of Amazing & - "Spiritually-Calming" - Reflections

Would Always Mirror Back to Me... All of Their "Undisturbed-Wonders"

Via - Everything Which Was Located - Both in it -

Like The Otters, Frogs & Turtles... Along with All of the "Finned Pond-life"...

As Well as - Everyone Feathered - Which I'd Always Enjoy "Silently" Watching...

From Where I Was Able to Remain Really Well-Hidden from Their Visual Field -

& While They Each Slowly Relocated Themselves - Along the Shore-Base Perimeter -

Or Traveled Directly Through the Inner Open-Section of The Pond

I Would Even - Periodically - Be Able to Watch The Deer... & Their Fawns...

While They Were Combining Their Greenery-feast of Nearby Foliage & Clovers...

With a Quick Pond-Quenching of Their Thirst...

And of Course... It Was Whenever I Was Able to Be - Quietly Sitting There...

With Only These Beautiful Wonders Anywhere Near Me...

That I Would Always Feel -

Closest to My -

"MAKER"

& Hence - Therefore - It Would Be During Each of Those Peaceful & Tranquil Moments -

There on That Ponds Bank...

That I Would Often be "Privately Discussing" -

With -

"My Spiritual-Parent Upstairs"

Certain Things - That I Felt the Deepest Need - to Talk to "Somebody" About

!!!!!!!

Along With... of Course... What I Had Just Now Noticed... From That Viewpoint...

Concerning One of -

"THEIR"

Amazing Creations & Miraculous-Wonders -

That're Peacefully Co-Existing Here - & While Remaining Untouched by Humans

& All of Which...

Explains Why...

It Was Eventually - During All of My "Adulthood" Years -

& Which Had - Way to Quickly "Followed" -

Both Those - Childhood & Teenage Eras...

From Back When I Was Still Able to - Actually "Physically" Place Myself -

There at That Ponds Edge

Amen

That -

Thanks To The Heavenly-Clairvoyant Way in Which - All of My "Visual-Memories"...

Of That Ponds-bank... & Where I Would Be Seated There - in Those Tall Grassy-Reeds...

Where I Could Clearly Be Overlooking & Observing Everything...

That Was Unfolding - Both Between & Around Its Marshy Banks...

Like That of the Dragonfly - While Resting on The Pond's Reed

Had - During All of Those "Reflective & Private Conversation" Years -

Become So Well Embedded Into Me...

That They Were Eventually - As Clear in My Visual-Memory... As They Are -

In the Photo Below

& Which is Why (& How) - It Had Come to Be -

That Ongoingly - & Therefore - From that of My Early Childhood...

Right Into My Adulthood & Recent Senior-Years...

That -

My Hidden Place - of Peaceful Pond-Retreatment -

Is Where I - "Still" - To This Day -

Will Imaginatively Meditate-Myself Over To

Amen

Whenever I Close My Eyes...

& Deeply Focus - On Only What - I Am "Once Again" Wanting to Both -

"See & Hear"...

Via - Through Only The Natural Wonders of This Planet...

Along With - of Course -

"WHO"

Has Created Each One of Them - For Me (& You) To Enjoy in The First Place

And Hence - It is The Clarity of Those Visual Memories...

That Enable Me to Once Again... Meditational-ly Escape -

For Perhaps - Even Just a Brief Moment...

With Just Myself & My

"Spiritual Boss Upstairs"

Once Again -

Sitting There Together... On That Marshy Pond-Bank

& While of Course -

"THEY"

Are Hence - Once "Again" Answering For Me -

During Each One of Those - Meditation-Pond & Prayer - Visits -

Anything That May Be - Either Troubling or Worrying Me -

at Any Given Moment in My Life

Amen

& Hence - You Now Know Why -

That Pond is Where I Will - "STILL" - "Metaphorically" Be -

Finding The Answers -

To Questions - Like The Ones I Had Been Asking -

"THEM" While Standing on The Bow of That Boat...

& Around 3 Hours Prior to - When I Had - Read The Words on This Card -

& Then Opened -

The Little White Box -

My Husband & I Had Stayed at The Marina - Which I'd Mentioned Earlier...

For Two Nights and 1 Full day... Before Continuing on up The Eastern Shoreline

!!!!!!!!

And - We Had - of Course - Gone Into Many of That District's Shops & Galleries...

While We Were Docked There; in Historic St. Augustine

!!!!!!!!

And Yet -

I Do Not - Clearly Remember Any Other Shop - But The One...

Which I Have Shared With You Today

!!!!!!!

As The Only Other "Clear" Memories - That I Have of That Time Period...

Are The Moments in Which - I Am Once Again - Feeling the Smoothness of -

The Painted - Positive Ponder Prayer Pebble - That I Had Comfortingly Held Onto -

& Taken With Me... During Every Step of That Historic Town...

& While Ongoingly Having - Many Comforting - Pond-Prayer Conversations...

While Doing So

& of Course - Although I -

"Didn't Know"

"YET" -

Nor Either - "Understand or Correctly-Grasp" The -

"TRUE MESSAGE" -

That I Had Been Given - Upon Receiving That Prayer Pebble...

With The Dragonfly Painted on It

Amen

What I Did Know... For Sure -

Was -

"WHOM"

It Was Actually From

AMEN

& That...

I Was Therefore - Being Personally Told By -

"THEM"

That -

"THEIR SPIRITUAL LOVE"

Was

Obviously Going to Continue to Be With Me - During This Whole -

"Transformation-Journey"

That I Was Currently Embarking on...

& of Course Especially - While I Began to Adjust to - a Whole New Life...

In a Completely Different Entirety - Than Where I've Previously Been Dwelling

& it Is - As I Relive That Day With You; Here in This Chapter...

That I Also - Once Again Clearly Recall - How The 2nd -

"Spiritual-Message Factor"

Which I Was - "Not" - Aware of...

"YET"

& Even Though - From That Day Forward - on That Continual Re-locating Cruise -

I Had Kept That Prayer-Pebble Close To Me... Wherever I Went...

And Had Therefore - Repetitively Looked at That Painted-on Dragonfly

Was The Fact That - I Was Actually "Not Supposed" to - "Just" Relax -

& Feel at "Full Inner Peace" - Like It Mentioned on That Card...

& Like I Would Always - Continue to Once Again Be Inwardly Feeling -

Whenever I Was Meditating Myself Back to that Pond...

& Peacefully Sitting There in Amongst Those Tall Reeds...

& Whilst Having Another One of My -

"Prayer Conversations"

!!!!!!

But Rather -

I Was Being "Metaphorically" Told - That Day in St. Augustine... & Directly by My -

"Spiritual Parent Upstairs"

That I Myself - Would in Fact - Soon Be Like The Dragonfly...

And Would Therefore No Longer Be Restricted - at All -

& Even Though - I Could No Longer Drive

!!!!!!!!!!

As I Would Soon - Within The Next Few Weeks...

Find Out that - One Does Not Need to Drive... In Order To Reach-out & Help Others

If They Can Suddenly Take Flight... Like The -

"Emerging Dragonfly"

& While Becoming "Even Closer" to -

"The Light"

While They're In The Process of Doing so

& Now... Before I Written-Conversation Close for Today...

I Want You To Know That -

It Had Come to Be - During the Second Day Following This One;

Which I've Just Finished Sharing With You

!!!!!!!

That I Will Not Only - Receive Yet "Another" Dragonfly... as a Gift...

But Rather - With That Next One - I Will Also Receive - a Clearer Message... From My -

"Spiritual Boss Upstairs"

Concerning Something - That I Am Going to Be Told - Miraculously Through -

"THEM"

That I Will Soon - "CONTINUOUSLY" - Be Doing For Others - From That -

"Spiritual Message-Moment"

Onward

Amen

& as I Continue to Get Closer To Taking -

Full

"Spiritual Flight"

The Moment in Which... I'm Miraculously ReBorn... Like that of a -

Hatching-Dragonfly... as it takes its First Flight into a Completely New Life Journey

This Conversation... Will Be Continued in -

Miraculous Moment # 9
