FWD: Gradtitude Today
Today I begin the day with gratitude; I know that there is a power in gratitude
that opens the heart and makes me and my life ready for even more blessings. I
take stock of all the facets of my life, and notice that even where I am feeling
challenged, there is a blessing to be thankful for.
Any time I’m being challenged, it’s not a test from the infinite! It’s nothing
more than spirit opening me up so that I may hold more light, reflect spirit
more perfectly, and be made whole. I refuse to look at challenges as punishment,
and I get rid of any ideas that the path will always be fun or pleasurable. I
know that the universe is spiritual, and I put my trust in the spiritual laws of
this universe. I know that under any situation, I can be carried forward in
strength, in grace, and in a clear understanding that even in confusion, Spirit
is present. Even in painful times, the support and comfort of Spirit is right in
there with me.
By seeing in this way, I am able to give thanks in all things, rather than just
the things that are pleasant or easy. And gratitude keeps me open to receive the
guidance, the support, the strength, and the wisdom I need to walk confidently
through every day of my life. And for this, I am indeed in a state of perpetual
gratitude.
