The other night there was some crazy windy weather here in
TN and it got me to thinking. The way
the wind was blowing it sounding almost as if it were howling and all the hurt
I carry within me felt the recognition of sorrow in the sound the wind was
making and I was comforted in thinking that the weather was expressing the
emotions I was not. This made me wonder
if our Heavenly Father ever used the weather as a manifestation of his
feelings, which then made me question if the emotions we feel on Earth have the
same magnitude once we become divinities.
After we are resurrected, we will still have our body which leads me to
believe that we will still experience emotions in a similar manner. I assume we will have better control over our
emotions but does mean we will still experience pain that will cut at our very
being? The idea of being a deity is romanticized
I feel. Life is HARD and this is just to
prepare us for the job of being Gods and Goddesses. I bet the pain we experience on this earth is
nothing compared to what we have in store for us when our sons or daughters
murder, defile and choose their own path.
Her on Earth our families are relatively small that my mind has a hard
time comprehending the magnitude of billions of sons and daughters. I can almost guarantee we will still feel the
pain, which brings me back to my original thought. Do you think Heavenly Father ever has it rain
just to share the pain h feels? Mind you
I am no deity, but if I could, I would.
You are a very deep thinker! I've never thought of this before but quite an interesting thought! I have found comfort in the weather mimicking my emotions before as well. I love a good storm, although not as well as I used to since it can mean scared children waking. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have nothing useful for the cigarette issue. Only commisseration, as I would be ticked off in that situation! I hate cigarette smoke, it disgusts me and would be a total deal breaker. I'd like to say I'd demand a shower and teeth brushing and then there's the saying of beggars can't be choosers...rock and a hard place. :( So not fair!
On the other side, knowing his past, it's wishful thinking that a person who has dealt with these same problems wouldn't experience the struggle again in a lifetime. It could be a lifetime fight, back and forth. Ultimately, he has to want it to fight it. If he does, anything is possible.
Love to you, my friend! You are patient and strong, don't let anyone take that from you! (((((hugs)))))
thank you fo ryour response! I am was aware it would be a struggle (the smoking), but like you said I thought it was one he promised to always fight. As fi rthe weatehr I am glad I am not the only one who feels it is a manifestation of emotions. I just feel this cathartic connection that in a way allows meto heal without having to experience a total break down. I like to think that if I had a choice of weather patterns it would rain a lot as that weather condition has always been a comfort to me.
DeleteI love rain as well! I'm more the type to break down with the storm like its giving me permission. ;)
