The Action of Gratitude

[Guest guest]

Hello Beloveds,

 

I've entered into a new phase of my

journey, or better said, a new phase

of expressing appreciation.

 

On the Christian Path we are told to

" forgive as we are forgiven. " Also,

" to love as we are loved. " That one

has been a hard one for me to master,

especially lately where I've been very

impatient with abusive and rude people.

I don't see that I have been very

loving...more the warrior lately. And

it has been an intensive class!

 

On the flip side I have been so blessed

with so much fun and beauty and excitement

and bliss. Truly my cup overflows. Each

Day is just so exciting, except for these

times of clashing.

 

Well, I had a breakthrough that has just

filled me with so much joy.

 

During my prayer time I received the

insight and instruction to show my

gratitude for all the blessings by

being kind to those who rub me hard

with abuse or rudeness. I saw it clearly.

It was to be how I say " thank you " to God

for the abundant overflow of love and

blessings that freely pour into my life.

 

Each opportunity to say it by action

has revolutionized my interactions with

certain behaviors. Now, instead of getting

angry I say " thank you, Lord, for this

opportunity to show my gratitude for all

the blessings in my life. " And I pour it

all out on the person who is being so offensive

at that moment. lol! wow.

 

So that where I'm at right now. Also taking

a stained glass class that is just too much

fun! You'll be seeing some work soon in our

Little Shoppe.

 

Thank you for listening.

Love, dhyana

 

Do It Anyway

 

People are often unreasonable,

irrational, and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.

 

If you are kind, people may accuse

you of selfish, ulterior motives.

Be kind anyway.

 

If you are successful, you will win

some unfaithful friends and some

genuine enemies.

Succeed anyway.

 

If you are honest and sincere people

may deceive you.

Be honest and sincere anyway.

 

What you spend years creating, others

could destroy overnight.

Create anyway.

 

If you find serenity and happiness,

some may be jealous.

Be happy anyway.

 

The good you do today, will often be

forgotten.

Do good anyway.

 

Give the best you have, and it will

never be enough.

Give your best anyway.

 

In the final analysis,

it is between you and God.

It was never between you and them anyway.

Thank you E,

 

Our perceptions create our reality I've

been told! So grateful to be guided into

these views as I travel along. Being menopausal

its easy to be explosive! lol

 

Love to you,
