I have been pondering lately on just how blessed I have been by the 'Godsends' in my life. You know those times when all seems lost, you are caught short in some way, there is a need miraculously met at the last possible moment... you get the drift. Unexpected miracles that can be big or small, Godsends can come in many forms, and they can be HUMAN. Godsends are lifesavers (or feel like it at the time).
I really have been blessed by Godsends throughout my life and it occurred to me recently to want to BE one. I have been thinking I would like to apply for the job of being a Godsend, because they are especially useful, and being useful is my own big mission in life. 'Make yourself useful' is one of those deeply imbedded imprints on my psyche, a watermark, and part of my personal fabric.
So I followed this little thread of thought and it took me to recognizing the logic of all of us already being Godsends (at least in potential). If we use the word 'God' as a label for 'source' or 'creation' or 'the unknowable', then we all hail from the same cosmic soup mix. If we use Marianne Williamson's definition of 'God' as 'the thought of Love' we all hail from there. Any which way, we could say we were 'God-sent'.
From where I sit, the world needs more Godsends: those people who are tuned in and turn up, help out, be an ear, share resources, lend a hand, share a load.
The incredible results we can achieve when we unite with others in a common cause promote love and satisfaction that cannot be bought with anything other than generosity of spirit - the Godsend in us all.
Recent events around the world are once again keeping our consciousness challenged to choose between LOVE and FEAR. Godsends help. You don't need any quals to be one. You only need to be present to the truth and respond from your heart.
Please know there are plenty of vacancies for Godsends. All you do is APPLY WITHIN. That is where you take on the job. Choose to be a Godsend. You never know when you will get called up for a job, just be prepared to serve. It is not so much a 'doing' thing as a 'being' thing.
Thank you to all the Godsends in my life, and thank you for all the Godsends in my life. My Godsends highlight why I feel so blessed, even on the crap days. In fact they get me through those crap days! Be grateful for Godsends - they help us through.
And that's it from my view.

PS I could use ''Source-send' to avoid the loaded 'God' label...but it doesn't feel the same!

What a profound yet simple concept! They do brighten the day whether WE are the Godsent or we are the recipient of one.
