Every drop of water...

Wednesday, July 29, 2015

Today's thought:  Every drop of water...

It takes every drop of water to fill a glass, with no drop being more or less important than any other drop.  It takes each of us, doing the best we can each day, to keep our world functioning at its best.  Each of us is important to the whole.  Remember that you are as important as anyone else for the health and happiness of the planet, live accordingly, and smile.  The smile begun by you and passed on to others can circle the globe.

Wishing you reasons to smile every day of your lives.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Giving and receiving.

Sunday, July 26, 2015

Today's thought:  Giving and receiving.

Most of us have been taught to give to others, but seldom taught how to graciously receive whatever others might give to us.

We give because there is joy in giving, in seeing the surprise and smile on the other person's face.  In order for us to experience this joy, there must be someone willing to receive.  When we practice both, we will experience a greater degree of satisfaction with life in general, and our own lives in particular.

Wishing you the blessings of graciously giving and graciously receiving.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Daily Prayer

Monday, July 20, 2015

Today's thought:  Daily Prayer

The following daily prayer, written by St. Francis of Assisi, was given to me by a friend and I would like to share its peace and beauty with you.

"Lord, help me to live this day quietly, easily,
To lean upon Thy great strength trustfully, restfully,
To wait for the unfolding of Thy will, patiently, serenely,
To meet others peacefully, joyously,
To face tomorrow confidently, courageously."

May you experience all these blessings on a daily basis.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

P.S  Many, many thanks to all who visit this site and share it with others.  I am deeply appreciative of your kindness.

Caring for self.

Friday, July 3, 2015

Today's thought:  Caring for self.

To care for one's self is so important and not always encouraged.  Unity's Daily Word for July 1 explains this so beautifully,  that I wanted to share it with you.

"I honor God by caring for myself.  As fast as life goes sometimes, I may find it difficult to stop, rest, and take care of myself.  I may feel pressured to do things for others and keep a hectic pace to meet their requests  I remember the lyrics of a country song, "I'm in a hurry to get things done.  Oh, I rush and rush until life's no fun."

'I stop hurrying and care for myself.  The most important person to focus on is me.  Caring for myself is honoring Spirit within.  I rest, breathe, and step away from pressures or worries.  I take time to connect with God through prayer and meditation.  I also take time for fun!

'Caring for myself does not take away from my ability to care for others.  It energizes me and strengthens my relationship with God.  I honor God by caring for myself."

Wishing you blessings beyond number.....and peace, joy, and love always.
