Part 1: Gratitude for Today
A beautiful Friday to you, brothers and sisters of The Beloved Community.
Waking from the small death that is each night, we see another
day. Another sunrise greeting us with the warmth of life.
Live this day in gratitude, in acknowledgment of the reality
that when we put head to pillow Thursday night we were not guaranteed to see
Friday morning.
And here we are!
Breathe in life’s goodness.
Breathe out what you need to release.
Part 2: Putting Gratitude to Work!
We complete the 5th month of 2024 today, 151 days in the books. Or from a heart perspective, 17,365,000 heartbeats into the year (assuming 80 beats/min).
Where has your 2024 journey taken you to this point?
What areas of your life are flourishing, blooming like
vibrant spring flowers?
What areas of your life need some watering, some fertilizer?
At the end of the 6th month, 30 days from now,
what new blossoms would you like to see? What water/fertilizer will it take to
make these come to be?
Draw, paint, write, meditate, pray, dance, etc. with these
questions today.
Make time for yourself. You are worth it!
What a gentle and kind reminder to be grateful-daily and over time. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI’m finding a particularly easy to be grateful with this gorgeous spring weather!
ReplyDelete🩷🩷🩷 we have a lot to be grateful for. Thank you Jesus, for waking me up every morning. Good questions to ponder on and refocus my priorities. Ahéhee!
ReplyDeleteNot every day brings sunshine and flowers. But every day has meaning, a purpose. Even though tears you water the flowers. Start each new day with a song, sing to yourself, sing for yourself, and hold tight the memories of those you love.
