It was so surreal, I expected that my
whole family would all be talking to
me and that as a family we might get
together so I could tell them about
my experience, and I supposed that
interest and everything would naturally
come about, but it never did.
(note: Don't get me wrong, this isn't a need of the ego, this is just something my spirit wanted to share with my entire family)
It had me feeling like if I wanted to tell any one
of them, which I did, how it went, that it would be
a one sided "me wanting to tell them things they
don't care to hear" moment... this left me sort of
depressed about it. But then I kept getting these
missed calls, and text messages saying that my
older sister really wanted to hear about my experience!
This had me so so so HAPPY!!! Thanks God.
It was enough to lift the veil of sadness and expectations off my eyes and just appreciate her sincere desire, and also God's grace in giving me a listening ear in my family to hear all the beautiful gifts I had just received after all these years of waiting, all these days yearning to attain the presence of my Beloved as much as is possible in this life.
We talked for a long time, a couple or maybe a few hours about what the experience was for me and what I learned, she then filled me in on some progress in her life and it made me feel so good to hear it knowing how hard I had prayed for her in the Shrine of Baha'u'llah specifically... I don't think I told her how much I prayed for her in there... I love her so dearly.
It is amazing, these beautiful relationships that God just gifts us. It has me constantly thankful, and why wouldn't it, this is the grace of God we are talking about!
So, yeah, this weeks blessing: My older sister
