How often have we heard we are worthy of all the abundance and good of the kingdom? How often have we been asked to accept the good that is available to us? Some of us cannot because we are stuck in the past crying over what has already happened W'e are the prince and princess in the house of the king and we are all dressed up in the clothes of the pauper W’e have acted that way so iong we have forgotten it is all a game we made up There was an egg left in the barnyard and hatched with duck eggs When this duckling came forward it didn’t take the other ducks long to discover that this “duck" was different It looked walked and talked differently The other ducks realized this almost immediately The “duck” wondered what was wrong with it!

It was now a beautiful swan and could join the other swans m the sky The challenge this swan had is that it was attempting to be something which it could never be Each of us must decide to decide: To be or Not to be that is the question Will we continue to cry about those things which were painful? In order for the swan to he all it could be it had to: 1 Give up trying to be what it was not 2 Look up to see that which is greater than self 3 Look down to see the changes that had taken place 4 Decide to follow the greater to learn what the higher form of being was like 5 Fly off take some action to get in contact with the greater 6 Join a group like itself 7 Find out how to participate m what was missed tn order to be a pan We cannot go forward and carry old baggage with us How can we get lighter? I What are we still crying about? In order to be we must I Decide to let go of the past 2 Be open to see how the past has made me stronger wiser more compassionate 3 I am unique 4 How may I express it to glorify God? 5 How may I use
