Cursing versus Blessing

Six hundred forty references pertaining to...

             "Cursing versus Blessing."

Cursing is referred to as a "block" to blessings.

Where there is a curse, there is a powerful "cause" a root.

A "decision" that was made to;

avoid, escape, deny, curse ourselves and each other.

Poetic illustrations of the consequences,

the generational passing;

of a "bitterness" root,

afffecting future descendants.

It was simply a man or woman's  "decision"  to choose

escape, denial, to live a life of...... desperate survival. 

Actively mocking a life of:

compassion, humility, and even forgiveness, an unwillingness to respect

each other's differences, uniqueness. 

Several examples of how cursing was turned into blessings are remarkable.

It appears that curses can be transformed to blessings,

producing the greatest of living stories.

A woman from Ruwanda was speaking boldly on t.v.

sharing her journey of how her father, brothers were brutally cut

in two in front of her as a young girl. 

Hatred, rage, revenge every foul word spoken from her mouth

for this most heinous of crime.

She then stopped, paused in her life journey feeling devoured, alone and stark.

A spiritual journey she took herself on boldly asking questions,

seeking revelations.

She confronted in prison the man who killed her family in front of her.

With no humble nature he appeared before her, it was then she wept,

and spoke from her heart.

"No longer will I carry the seeds of Hate, Revenge for what you have done...

and out of her tearful throat, she managed to get the words out....

"I forgive for what you have done."

I see before me a man filled with hate, emptinesss in your heart.

Today I choose life not death, i will not carry your "hate" anymore.

"I forgive you" .....weeping out the words. 

This most hardened of man.....wept.....

it was more than his heart could bear,

how a young girl broke through the dark heart of a killer.

I too..found myself weeping,

my husband next to me replied,

"I can't believe she could do that...I can hardly speak myself.

I could see his throat swallowing hard to get his words out...

my heart is weeping  ...I too...am humbled.

Do Blessings offer abundance, release, imagery of not living with

our "daddy's devils" ?

Alcoholism, mental sickness, varities of addictions, physical abuse,

links in the chains carried on from one to another. 

The only boundaries of blessings it is written,

..is the one's we place on.....ourselves.

What link on the chain .......am I willing to face?

What link on the chain........am I willing to embrace?

What words do I choose to come out of my mouth?

Words of cursing or blessing...... unaware ....that I may

be strengthening the links on a chain,

consequences of my choice. 

Is it only to our doctors we discuss our family histories,

weakness and vulnerabilities?

Science is speaking boldy these days about DNA, and brain scans

revealing our "traits."

Cursing versus Blessing, a spiritual journey I am on,

I hope to see you on the path, I'll be the one asking many, many

questions, and p.s. I have peanut m&m's.
