Dearly be ‘LOVED’

Dearly BE – LOVED

In my innocence as a child I was proud to stand up in my early years at school and say that my Mum’s religion was Church of England and my Dad was Atheist and to be honest, I thought they were both religions anyway and I still do if I was to get into the ‘BELIEF’ system debate BUT I am not about to.

I did not know that religion/non-religion and other society identifying labels made my parents anything other than who they are and the values they TEACH but I would LEARN to discern what I spoke of.

I am grateful that I grew up in a house where religion was a choice.

Thank ‘DOG’ we are not living in the sixties although in TRUTH I do not know if people are more accepting now than then?

I RESPECT each to their own and I value morals and integrity which are CHOICE and have no religious denomination.

Anyway……… moving along …………..

Dad used to drive us to any Church we wished to ‘try out’ so to speak and MY own life path has led me to believe in ‘The Universe of ONE LOVE’, Source ENERGY – My QUANTUM reality.

I knew as a child that I was looking for something but I could not get the answers in any church.  I also thought the man in the Pulpit was GOD!

I really did not pay much attention but it was something to do on a Sunday and there were children to play with and I did like the lemon drink at the end of Sunday school.

In 2014 I wrote the following and I still find it funny. I have always loved Dave Allen and his finishing line at the end of his shows — “May YOUR god go with you” and I feel that he had it right – RESPECT for choice.

Here goes –

Yesterday while speaking with my Dad he said he had attended a funeral where parking was a distance from the Chapel.

The public including disability was not permitted to drive within certain areas which made the walk to the chapel a long walk.

As he was slowly making his way to the Chapel with his walking stick – stopping and resting as he went, the woman driving the hearse to the Chapel asked if he needed a lift.

My Dad accepted the offer along with another man who also had problems with mobility.

It was so funny to me that I forgot to ask if the man whose funeral they were attending was in the back.

I still do not know where Dad or the other man sat but I am sure his ‘converted’ friend would have SEEN the humour.

As John McEnroe said so well “You cannot be serious” because as Basil Fawlty also said “what was that? – that was your life mate.”

Get your happy on.
