Little Boy and his Mother Story
I was once in church looking at the altar and Eucharist. And while there God gave me a visual metaphor for how one operates in the Divine Will - I wanted to share the vision with you.
There was a little boy. He lived with his mother in a house and they had a beautiful lawn and garden outside their house. I remember there were lots of tulips. And they were perfect in color and shape. The little boy ran outside and plucked one of the tulips and ran back to give it to his mother. She accepted the flower and put it in the house. She was very pleased with the little boy’s little act of giving her this flower. 🌹 She put the flower in the house. The biggest thing that struck me was with what pleasure she accepted the flower.
And God showed me the little boy had not planted the flower or watered it. He hadn’t groomed it in anyway. Instead, his mother had done all the work. He had simply gone out into the garden, plucked the flower and then gave it to her. But the mother was pleased with the gift because it was a gift worthy of her - it was a perfect, beautiful flower. The GIFT he had given her was something she valued and was pleased with.
And the boy lived with her in the house. In the same way, God was showing me that living in His Will was like us living in a house with a parent. And we simply take what God has already made and give it right back to Him with our little love - just like that sweet little boy wanted to show his mom love. But what could he do? He could only give the mother what was already hers. But he simply went out and got it for her and gave it to her with his little, “I love you.”
And that’s what we do in the ROUNDS - we place our little, “I love you God” on something He’s already made/done, and give it back to Him. These things are worthy of God because they are things from His own Hands. All we need to do is do everything with His Will - and give His own things right back to Him.
It’s that simple. And that amazing!

Below is a quote from the BOOK OF HEAVEN - VOLUME 24 APRIL 1, 1928
The Pageboy at the left is looking to the king - serving the king his own things - things that are worthy of him.
“Therefore, you must know that one who lives in my Will offers royal acts to the Eternal Majesty – acts which can be found only in the divine royal palace of my Will. When the creature comes before Us with the royal acts that Our Will does in all Creation, only then do We feel really honored by her - these are divine acts, worthy of Our Majesty. On the other hand, one who does not live in Our Will, as much good as he might do, offers Us always human acts, not divine – acts which are inferior to Us because the royal act of Our Divine Fiat does not flow in them. It happens as to a king who is served by a pageboy of his with all the things which are in His royal palace. Even though they are his own things, the king feels honored because, if he drinks, he drinks of his pure water from golden vases, clear and clean; if he eats, he eats food worthy of himself which is served to him in silver platters; if he clothes himself, he is brought royal garments which befit him as king. The king feels all pleased and satisfied because he is served with the royal things that belong to him. On the other hand, there is another pageboy who serves the king, but when the king wants to drink he goes to his miserable home, takes his turbid water, and brings it in vases of clay, not well cleaned; if the king wants to eat, he fetches his crude food, and in disgusting trays; if the king wants to clothe himself, he brings him unadorned garments, unworthy of a king. The king is neither pleased nor honored in being served by this pageboy; rather, he remains with a pain in his heart and says: ‘How can this be? I have my own royal things and this one dares to serve me with the miserable things of his own house?’ The first pageboy is one who lives in my Will; the second is one who lives in the human will. What a great difference between the two!”
