Merry Christmas!
December 14, 2008
Dearest Friends,
One of the greatest lessons I learned in heaven is that God allows on earth whatever we need for our growth. In wisdom he uses his loving power to create and orchestrate the elements of our lives in order to bring about our learning. For the same purpose, he also puts to perfect use what we ourselves create through our choices, individually and collectively as families, communities, nations and even globally as a world. The same applies, then, to our recent U.S. elections, where voters have made their voices heard and their choices clear. God will use what we have brought about by our votes for our highest good.
It has been made obvious to me, through many emails and phone calls I have received, that many people, including ministers of congregations, have judged the election results as evidence of a population’s shift away from relying upon God for safety and prosperity toward relying upon “man.” This has alarmed those who have so concluded, because they also conclude that our President Elect does not have what they believe to be godly intent, which fills them with grief and fear. They fear for their country, their families, and for themselves, facing a dark future.
My response is this: Do not assume that God condemns what you condemn. Never draw the conclusion that he cannot bring about his greatest blessings for all mankind because of certain choices we happen to make. Our power of choice is never greater than God’s power to use our very choices to teach us and to bless us. He carefully watches over ALL, still and always. His will is to help us become like him through our infinite capacity to learn by experience. “When the student is ready the right teacher will come.” And he will bless us with every experience our growth has prepared us for, or for that which we have asked, but only for our highest good.
I am concerned about the many directions society is taking. It concerns me, for example, the diminishment of God in our schools and courtrooms and the dismissal of his truths in general, especially among our families, our youth and many of our churches. But I know we cannot fall so far that God cannot reach us and draw us to him, even, if need be, through the consequences of our choices. He may not always be in our choices, but he is unfailingly behind our consequences. We must learn to see him there, and to praise him for his great wisdom and love. We will be brought to learn from our mistakes—and also our successes. Learning this is a big step toward our greater understanding and wisdom of the creative powers of God. God uses what is to create from.
What “We The People” have chosen for our lives, we have also given God to work with. This is not cause for fear but for thanksgiving because we have the freedom to choose. We are also free to take action within our choices in order to bring about changes for the better. Our country is that blessed and we must never give up on it! I will say again what I have said before about every past president. Barack Obama is the right man for the job because God allowed our free will and we took it. These are the days for Barack Obama and his administration or he would not have been elected. Now, it is ours to support them—not to fear them. We can do that through sincere prayer in their behalf. With God, they can do good for our country, and for our world.
May I say to those of you who are still living in anxiety that it is time to let go of your fears. It is time to get to work, to give of yourselves through your example of calm, peace and service; to widen your circle of influence and show what joy and safety are found by living within God’s wisdom. Do not cower in dark anger, fearing what has come or might be coming, but choose to thrive and love regardless of circumstance. Become proactive not complacent and complaintive; stand up for higher standards and higher values. Let your voice be heard without fear. This is the growth our Heavenly Father would have all come to; and to this end, I pray God’s blessings upon us all. And I add this too my friends: Do not worry about the wind, adjust your sails! God bless America! God bless our World! Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with us!
God Bless you, have a Merry Christmas and the best for the coming New Year!
All my love,
Betty

Dear
Betty,
I am reading your book, Embraced By
The Light, and am shouting from the
rooftops right now. When I read of the
monks in your hospital room, I nearly
jumped out of my skin because the same
thing happened to me in January, 2000,
when my appendix ruptured. After surgery,
I woke up in my hospital bed and saw
my husband sitting nearby. Then at the
foot of the bed, I saw three people
standing there. They looked just like
monks in brown hooded cloaks with their
arms crossed and their heads down. Beyond
them there were hundreds more monks
in my room. It was like they went on
and on forever. I expected my husband
to say something about all these people
being crowded into my room. Then the
head of one the three monks raised.
It was a female face I saw under the
hood. I recognized her immediately.
She was my cousin who was murdered in
1989! She looked at me for a minute
and then smiled. I wasn't scared by
her presence, in fact I felt completely
at peace. Then all at once they all
were gone. I called out to my husband,
"Did you see the monks?" Of course,
he didn't. But actually, he doesn't
even remember me asking him. After I
got better, I began making phone calls,
telling anyone who would listen about
the monks who visited me. I called the
sister of my cousin who was murdered,
and she began to cry and immediately
believed me. She said my experience
gave her great comfort. My parents believed
me, too. Some people were skeptical,
though. My husband for instance, who
still believes it was the medication.
But I tell him I remember nothing else
while medicated. Except for when seeing
the monks, I was out cold. If it was
the drugs, why not see other "visions"
or dreamlike things. Imagine my joy
when I read what you wrote about the
monks who were there for you by your
hospital bed. I ran and read aloud the
paragraph to my husband, and he was
blown away. Now maybe he will believe

Good-bye
My Friend. As a teenager, LeAnne was my best
friend. I thought of her like a sister.
She had a beautiful and loving baby daughter,
Hope. I spent every waking moment possible
with LeAnne and Hope. But about two months
before LeAnne passed away, she and I had
a falling out. We said hurtful things
to each other and ended our friendship.
I wanted to make up with LeAnne and decided
I would call her on Hope's first birthday,
thinking LeAnne would be in a good mood
and let me apologize. I never got to make
that phone call...

“As I stood in the presence of Christ he spoke these words: ‘Above all else, love one another.’ He was firm, emphatic. This was the most important truth I would learn in my experience with him, and he wanted me to understand it, to feel its full impact. It is the most important thing we can know. To love is the reason we exist. To learn to love more fully is the reason we have come to earth. Love is the energy which holds the universe in place. It is the gateway through which we return to our Creator. It can conquer any problem, ease any suffering, heal any disease. Love creates and magnifies the joys of life.”
