CHOOSE to Focus on Gratitude

On my journey through life, I recognize the power of appreciation. I praise every part of my body, and I am energized with greater health and vitality. I pay my bills with gratitude in the divine flow of giving and receiving. As I bless others, I unlock the door to greater love and harmony in my relationships. Through gratitude, I open wide the door to Spirit’s infinite bounty.

I am grateful that I have the freedom and ability to CHOOSE to focus on gratitude. Even when an outcome isn't exactly what I had planned... I love the attitude of the Amish: that it is God's Will. Sometimes I can be rocked with a series of mishaps, missteps, or mistakes! By choosing an attitude of appreciation or gratitude, any strife is quickly over, and my whole being can return to peace and calm.

Good words for today!

Seeking the Divine

My deepest desire is to know God. I experience God in meditation, in nature, and in the loving presence of others. God’s presence is found in the fluidity of the present moment. When I focus on the experience of God, I am one with everything—other ­people, nature, the sun and stars. I am as ancient as the Universe and as new as the dawn. My desire to know God leads me to oneness, and I am at peace.

May you also be blessed with the desire to know and experience the Divine Presence.

Flexible in Spirit

Today's Daily Word really speaks to me about being flexible, about being willing to let go of expectations. I love the image of the bamboo tree. Standing straight and tall, reaching towards the light. Yet, flexible to bend and go with the flow, letting go of the expectation of standing tall.
  I don't think I can plan much in my life without expectations... but my goal is to then LET GO of prediction or specific expectation. The result can be peace of mind, rather than upset or disappointment. As it says... my desire is to be an ever-flowing, ever-renewing expression of Infinite Life. Attuning myself to the Spirit within I am full of life, love, and joy. From that bountiful frame of mind, I turn that energy outward, to p
ray for those who are searching for that same Inner Peace.
And so it is....
Here is today's Daily Word...

I am flexible and young in Spirit.

The spirit of God is at the very core of my being. It is my Source of eternal youth and life. I recognize this flowing force that keeps me alive, breath by breath and heartbeat by heartbeat.
I do not limit my capacity to express the life of Spirit by being inflexible or stuck. I refuse to become crystallized in old thoughts or ways of being. I affirm my true nature in Spirit—I am an ever-flowing, ever-renewing expression of Infinite Life.
I live this truth by expressing openness and resiliency. I am flexible in mind and body. I am conscious of my life, energy, and strength. I express the vitality and youthfulness of Spirit within.

Footprints in the sand...

Throughout the world, believers often refer to God as the source of their refuge and comfort. When I feel challenged, in any way, I also turn to Spirit. There is NO doubt that the Infinite Love of the Divine is always a thought away.... not even a thought devides us. When I'm not even thinking or remembering that I'm surrounded with Divine Light, when the clouds of worry or anxiety darken my thinking... Divine Light IS STILL THERE! Kinda like that popular picture of footprints on the sand. When we're aware of God walking with us, we can see the two sets of prints. When we observe just one set of prints, it's because God is carrying us.
    Let's remember that where ever we are, God IS. And, that's the truth!
Sweet Blessings....
    

Finding Oneness in Nature

Communing with nature, I find oneness.

What a gift it is to be in nature and to behold its glory! Whether I am hiking in the deep woods or strolling through a city park, I have the opportunity to connect with the natural world.
My time in nature sharpens my awareness. I walk among the leaves dancing in the breeze, while flowers of lively colors greet me cheerfully. A bird’s call invites me to watch its antics and marvel at its flight.

Communing with nature reminds me I am one with all of life. I behold the sacredness of living things great and small. I am richly blessed to be part of the natural world. In gratitude, I cherish and care for it.

I went down to the nut orchard, to look at the blossoms of the valley, to see whether the vines had budded, whether the pomegranates were in bloom.–Song of Solomon 6:11

Guidance

God guides my way in every situation.

A guide is one who shows the way, who leads and directs. Sherpa mountaineers guide climbers on their mountain trek, quietly leading the way, providing support and direction to ensure that climbers safely reach the top.
God is my guide along life’s path. God leads me in right ways, directs my thoughts and actions, and inspires me when I need energy and confidence.
I need never feel lost or alone when meeting a challenge, for I have a loving guide with me at all times to lead me through the twists and turns of life. Knowing this, I relax, let go, and enjoy the journey. I trust God, my Guide, to lead me to my good.

May you be blessed with clear awareness of God being God in your life.
Namaste

Full of gratitude...

Ah... Good morning God, Angels, and Guides..... I am in such deep gratitude this morning for this amazing opportunity to enjoy a few days of solitude and retreat. I am feeling so blessed to have a few days at this amazing resort, right on Discovery Bay, overlooking the water. I was awe-struck during the incredible and might windstorm last night. It reminds me how small we are and at the same time, how connected we are to All.

May I spend this day in constant gratitude and joy.... may every thought today be a prayer that blesses and promotes healing and inner peace... for those I love and beyond... for all people.
Namaste....

and, from the words of Abraham...
I see myself in perfect health. I see myself in absolute prosperity. I see myself invigorated with life, appreciating, again, this physical life experience which I wanted so very much as I decided to be a physical Being. It is glorious to be here, a physical Being, making decisions with my physical brain but accessing the power of the Universe through the power of the Law of Attraction.

---Abraham
