A Huge Blessing

BLESSED EARTH

I am in awe of Earth's bountiful blessings.

God's loving Spirit permeates every atom of creation. Today I open my eyes and ears to behold the boundless variety and beauty of nature: a snowflake, a grain of sand, a glacier; a fawn, a fish, a colorful chameleon; the loud clap of thunder, the rhythmic lap of a wave against the shore, the inspiring sight of an eagle in flight.

From the tiniest seed of potential to a tall stand of trees stretching up to the heavens, our blessed earth reveals the infinite expression of Spirit. Today I breathe in the blessings of this wondrous planet. A deep appreciation of all life surges from within as I consider that God is within me and God is everywhere present. The love and life of God are abudantly on display, and I am grateful.

Then he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain and the earth yielded its harvest.--James 5:18

ZEAL

I embrace today with enthusiasm.

What a joy it is to watch children playing with happy abandonment! They live in the moment and enjoy every sight and sound in their world.

I, too, can live in the moment. When I remember that every moment is a God-moment, I can feel that same zeal and joy for life. I enjoy every sight and sound, every taste and smell, every relationship and experience with a new awareness, a new appreciation.

I have a new zeal for life, a new desire to experience the blessings of God in all their glory. I embrace today with joy and enthusiasm and give thanks for the God-moments that are coming my way, knowing they fill my life with joy.

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy all you upright in heart. --Psalm 32:11

INSIGHT

The wisdom of my soul brings me clear insights.

I can experience insight in many ways--while talking with a friend or prayer partner, while reading a book or article, or during meditation, contemplation or dreams.When I am open and receptive to a new way of viewing the world, I am able to gain a wider perspective. By paying attention to insights and shared wisdom, I open to deeper understanding.

If I don't know how to handle a perplexing situation, I ask for guidance by praying: "Divine Creator within, what is the Truth about this situation and its right resolution?"

With patience and quiet assurance, I open myself to receive insight from the wisdom of my soul, and I follow the guidance I receive.

I have good advice and sound wisdom; I have insight, I have strength. --Proverbs 8:14

A need for Peace Dr. James A. Lee

WORLD PEACE

I treat others with loving-kindness, co-creating a world at peace.

I hold in my heart the same teaching shared by all the world's religions: to treat others with the same loving-kindness I would like to receive myself. I am gentle and loving to the people I encounter, and I know consciousness will be shared with others.

It matters not where someone lives, how they dress, what language they speak, or how they worship. The differences that divide us pale in comparison to the similarities we share. We all grieve losses, celebrate joys, love our families, and hope for better days for our children. I value the lives of my neighbors around the world. The peace we all wish for depends upon the attitude and actions of each one of us. When I treat others with the same loving-kindness I would like to receive, I contribute to that peace.

Let brotherly love continue.--Hebrews 13:1 (RSV)

Love and Forgiveness Dr. James A. Lee

FORGIVENESS

I give the gift of forgiveness for the blessing of peace of mind.

The word forgive is the combination of the words give and for. When I ask myself what I would be willing to give for peace of mind, I have a new understanding of what it means to forgive.

I give up attachment to pain and anger in order for me to enjoy a better life. I give up judgment or criticism of my own past actions for the freedom to live in loving ways.

I am willing to forgive a past occurrence, realizing that to hold on to the past only hurts me. I release unforgiving thoughts and replace them with love. Even situations I will never condone, I am able to forgive.

I forgive myself and others so I can focus my energy on creating a more peaceful, harmonious world.

Be kind to one another..., forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.--Ephesians 4:32

HEALING

Health is my natural state. My body responds to love and care.

The body is a wondrous system. With each breath, with each heartbeat, my body is renewed and restored. When pain alerts me to a need for healing, I respond with love and care. Rather than becoming tense, I breathe deeply, sending light and love to the places calling for attention.

The wisdom of God works through me and my health care providers, in cooperation with my body's innate healing power.

Health is my very nature. I relax and rest as my body responds to loving affirmations and care. I am grateful for the healing now in progress. I feel it, I see it and I know it. My body is refreshed, renewed and restored to wholeness.

It will be a healing for your flesh and a refreshment for your body. --Proverbs 3:8
