Sending Joy

“I will see everyone and everything through the eyes of oneness today.”

Let’s allow our eyes to see miracles as our hearts fill with love for everyone and everything.

Let’s love the stop light because it blesses us with the opportunity to stop and breathe a moment; to look around and see “small wonders. And to smile at our fellow travelers.

Let us love everyone who shares the line with us at the grocery store because they are us in different bodies with different stories.

Let’s fill our hearts with love for everyone who works with us; for our family, our friends, our acquaintances and those we think are strangers and even those we’ve never met. Let’s remember we’re here together on an amazing journey.

Not only are we one with all, but in God’s eyes we ARE all and they are us. “All things that come from God are one.  They come from Oneness and must be received as one.” A Course In Miracles

Only the form of our experience differs. In our hearts we are the same; capable of fear and capable of love. If we choose love for ourselves, we choose it for all. Then let’s remember that in choosing love for everyone, we will rise above the dark experiences that happen in the world. In the heart-home, where God’s Love lives, harm and hate can never enter.  Fear and sadness are no more. 

Now where it looks dark and bleak, hopeless and painful, filled with challenges, illness, floods and fires there will flow never ending miracles of joining, healing, help, hope, love and joy and light. And we can say, “I don’t care how it looks, how it sounds or how it feels, God is in charge and all is well. ” That’s called TRUST.

“Above all else I want to see things differently.” A Course In Miracles

Let’s join in our Oneness and see things differently today. Prayers for all those who may be experiencing extreme weather conditions including, hurricanes and tsunamis, fires or floods, blizzards or blistering heat anywhere in this world. Our loving thoughts are with you. May God keep you safe and transform the extremes into harmony and balance.  Let our prayer be for healing and health for all the world. Let us ask for help with kindness and love and trust to generate the health and wellness, safety and peace of mind we want for every man, woman and child on earth. And then let us be grateful and say Thank You, God!  “A happy outcome to all things is sure.” A Course In Miracles

“The holiest of all the spots on earth is where an ancient hatred has become a present love.” ACIM

“Let’s forgive someone today and make a holy relationship.”

Two Children of God may spend their entire lives squabbling over everything and nothing.  Both sides insisting they are right and the other is wrong.  Expending energy in anger and frustration and needing to be right is exhausting.  And in the end, what does it matter?

Who cares who is right or wrong when all is said and done?  Both decisions to attack and defend can only cause unhappiness and grief for those involved and everyone around them. The negative energy brings sadness to the spirit and weariness and sickness to the body. And it can be contagious, spreading to families, friendships, work relationships and communities and then countries.  And the world becomes a dark and dangerous place indeed.

Someone must say “STOP!”.  Enough is enough.  Even if I think you’re wrong, you’re right.  You’re right because you are God’s child, my brother/sister, one with me.  You are God’s Holy Creation, the same as me and this has nothing to do with the petty differences of this world.  Only egos can be right or wrong. And only God’s Children can be always right.  Being right has nothing to do with this world.  In God’s Mind there are no differences, no separation, no right and no wrong.  In God’s world we simply ARE.

We need do nothing to receive His Holy blessing, but to BE.  Be who He created us to be, Holy and Innocent now and forever.  Forgive your brother/sister and then forgive yourself.  Know that nothing matters except the Truth.  And the Truth is of God and the Truth is found in the calm and quiet mind transformed from hatred into Love.  And now, what was chaos, darkness and despair becomes the holiest spot on earth.

Prayers for all those who may be experiencing extreme weather conditions including, hurricanes and tsunamis, fires or floods, blizzards or blistering heat anywhere in this world. Our loving thoughts are with you. May God keep you safe and transform the extremes into harmony and balance. 

Let our prayer be for healing and health for all the world. Let us ask for help with kindness and love and trust to generate the health and wellness, safety and peace of mind we want for every man, woman and child on earth. And then let us be grateful and say Thank You, God!

 “A happy outcome to all things is sure.” A Course In Miracles

“This lesson shines with God’s glory, for in it lies His power, which He shares so gladly with His Children. Learn of His happiness, which is yours. But to accomplish this, all your dark lessons must be brought willingly to truth, and joyously laid down by hands open to receive …”

“I will get out of my head and into my heart today.”

We live in our heads way too much. Letting our minds meander through the bramble and brush of negative thinking. Anything that could go wrong comes to mind in nearly every situation. We think we are being protective; safeguarding our loved ones and ourselves. And it all seems right to us somehow. Only with this thinking we almost always leave out the most important element – God.

What if we surrendered our thinking and lifted the brambles and brushes up to Him. What if we admitted that with our own strength we really can’t protect anyone or anything. No matter how many guns we own, no matter how many locks on the doors, no matter how many vitamins and supplements we take, without God we’re really on our own. Not from God’s choice, but because through the fog of our fears we are not allowing ourselves to experience His Loving protection fully.

God would never take away the guns, the locks or the vitamins. He knows we are too dependent upon them and removing these devices would only increase our fear. All He asks of us is that we purchase our guns with Him, lock our doors with Him and take our supplements with Him knowing that our true protection lies in Him.

We can do everything we want to do, have everything we think we need only put Him first. Invite God into each moment.

Invite God into your mornings.

Invite God to your meals.

Invite God to your family gatherings.

Invite God on your vacations.

Invite God on your shopping trips.

Invite God into your pain and suffering.

Invite God into your happy times.

Invite God in when you are sick or well.

Invite God into your work place.

Invite God to your nightly rests.

Invite God everywhere and into everything.

The more we let Him in, the more He can help us. He wants us to be healthy, happy and safe. When our fears block our experience of His Love we can simply invite Him into the pain. Let our thoughts go still and breathe His Love into the moment. He’s here anyway and He has nothing to do except to be there for us. It’s His will so why not make it ours as well.

God created us in His image. Not as vulnerable bodies at the mercy of an insane world, but as powerful spirits who can transcend everything we think is wrong and transform our world of fear into a world kept safe by Love. God’s Love. All we need to do is open our mind and heart and invite Him in.

“Give up gladly everything that would stand in the way of your remembering, for God is in your memory. His Voice will tell you that you are part of Him when you are willing to remember Him and know your own reality again.” A Course In Miracles

“I will see myself through God’s eyes today.”

“Listen, and try to think if you remember what we will speak of now.” A Course In Miracles

I am the joy in my heart beat, not the sadness.
I am the smile on my face, not the frown.
I am the laughter in my voice, not the tears.
I am the kindness in my actions, not the anger.

I am the open mind and heart that loves myself and all others, 
Not the veil of judgment or intolerance I peer through
That distorts my true seeing.

I am the peace, not the worry.  
I am the trust not the fear.

Whenever we’re not at peace, we are seeing through mistaken eyes
And then we must look again. Our prayer should be,

“God, let me see myself through your eyes.”

Now we can serve with a kindness and compassion that radiates loving energy and allows healing for ourselves and all the world as we remember …   

“I am the light of the world.” A Course In Miracles

That and only that is the truth about ourselves.

 “A happy outcome to all things is sure.” A Course In Miracles

“Can you imagine what it means to have no cares, no worries, no anxieties, but merely to be perfectly calm and quiet all the time?  Yet that is what time is for; to learn just that and nothing more.”  A Course In Miracles

“I will use time for it’s intended purpose today, and nothing else.”

Time has a purpose. And that purpose is healing. Healing of our thinking which extends into the healing of our experiences. 

What if our thoughts could calm tornadoes and render hurricanes harmless?  What if our thoughts could heal bodies and end wars and pandemics? What if our thoughts could create glorious gardens and harmonize and balance all of nature? Would we not want to change our thinking to bring holiness and healing to the world?

Imagine walking through dark alleys in a major city without fear?  Imagine knowing that you and your children are and will always be healthy, safe and strong? Imagine plenty of everything for everyone with no feelings of poverty and scarcity?  Imagine experiencing kind and loving relationships with all your family and your co-workers and imagine that every stranger has become a friend? Imagine always seeing yourself as valuable and worthy and beautiful.

What if instead of needing to be right, we ask ourselves, “What can I do to bring you happiness today?”  What if sharing was our first instinct instead of withholding? What if our first question to everyone in need was, “How can I help?” And then what if all fear and need disappeared into ALL IS WELL.

Feel the heavy mantle of burden and of fear and anxiety lifted from our shoulders and our minds by simply choosing something better for ourselves and everyone. What if we stopped fighting truth and denying joy?  Now our hearts are light. Now our feelings and experiences are filled with peace. Now we want to dance and laugh and share our happiness with everyone – all the time. And what if all it took to make this happen was to change our minds about how we see ourselves and others in this world of time?

So let’s calm down. Let’s quiet our thoughts, breathe deeper and more slowly and listen to God’s Thinking. What may seem impossible to us is nothing at all to Him.  It can happen.  It will happen.  God’s children cannot live in darkness and fear and violence and pain forever.  For they, after all, are God’s children, His Holy Creations.  At some point, we will, collectively, choose a better way.  Just give it time.

Let our prayer be for healing and health for all the world. Let us ask for help with kindness and love and trust to generate the health and wellness, safety and peace of mind we want for every man, woman and child on earth. And then let us be grateful and say Thank You, God!

 “A happy outcome to all things is sure.” A Course In Miracles

“Then the world is harmless in your sight.” A Course In Miracles

“I will practice being harmless  today.”

Health and well being are when we see ourselves as more than a body. When an understanding comes over us that we are okay just as we are. No strings attached. No special conditions imposed. Just pure acceptance. This is the energy of Love. This is the power of being harmless.

“I need be anxious over nothing.” A Course In Miracles

Harmlessness is when we choose to be kind instead of hurtful to another. No matter how small the act, our willingness to be harmless offers a healing experience for us and for others. It is the essence of harmlessness when nothing we think or do or say disturbs us or anyone else.  True honesty and harmlessness is when our most loving thoughts are in perfect alignment with our actions and our words.  

Helpfulness happens whenever we see someone in need and offer a hand, a kind word, an encouraging smile. Whenever we hear someone’s cry for help and then answer it with a prayer or a blessing on their behalf. Whenever we withhold judgment and choose love instead.  This is the decision for Love; the decision to be harmless.

It is only in being harmless to our brothers and sisters, to our planet and to ourselves that we can be truly helpful in healing the world.  It is the harmless ones joining their power that will heal the world. And we will know for sure, we are okay.

Prayers for all those who may be experiencing extreme weather conditions including, hurricanes and tsunamis, fires or floods, blizzards or blistering heat anywhere in this world. Our loving thoughts are with you. May God keep you safe and transform the extremes into harmony and balance.

“The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness.” A Course In Miracles

“I will welcome the healing light of peace today.”

If we keep a forgiving place inside our mind where it is welcome, peace will always find us. It is a constant thread of light that is woven through the fabric of each moment. Even when the world is at its darkest the light of peace is there, sometimes barely noticed, other times completely hidden by a fog of fear and worry. And yet there is no fog so thick, no night so dark that can keep our peace from us.

Miracles of forgiving love are imbedded in each peaceful thought transforming pain to joy. Peace is in the smile that shines through eyes of kindness. It’s in the laughter among friends. It comforts by a helping hand and offers itself in moments of compassion. It rests on tolerance and patience and brings with it opportunities for looking on the bright side. It lifts the weight of judgment and attack thoughts from our minds, freeing us to fly.

Peace radiates its warmth like sunshine on a quiet pond and dances lightly like dragonflies among the hostas. It is a promise always kept; a knowing deep inside us, all is well. When peace is present nothing else exists. It is our ever true and changeless gift from God.

May you walk in peace today knowing you are blessing the world with your light.

Prayers for all those who may be experiencing extreme weather conditions, including hurricanes and tsunamis, fires or floods anywhere in this world.  Also blizzards and extreme cold. Our loving thoughts are with you. May God keep you safe and transform the extremes into harmony and balance.

“By grace I live.  By grace I am released.
By grace I give. By grace I will release.” A Course In Miracles

 “I will be mindful of this moment and let everything else be released.”

In this moment there is all of life. The past is released, the future surrendered and this moment is all there is. It isn’t necessary to know specifically what we cling to in the past, what shadows we danced with, what tears we cried, what sad songs we sang, what pain we suffered.  All that’s necessary is to know that all is forgiven and suffering is done.

“Release your mind and you will look upon a world released.” A Course In Miracles

In this moment we are free to let the past go like a silk scarf in the wind and celebrate our light.  What the future holds is also unimportant for we can change that by simply choosing to be happy now.  No one and nothing has the power to disturb our peace.

Peace doesn’t come from bodies or egos. Nor can our peace be disrupted by bodies or egos. Peace comes from God.  And the choice to experience peace comes from us.  Not from anything outside of us, but from God Who dwells within.  Accept this and let everything else go and peace will be ours

“The peace of God is shining in me now.” A Course In Miracles

“I will leave fear behind today and walk in gentle peace.”

Leaving fear behind is a journey and takes patience, determination and perseverance. We can practice this daily and moment by moment, by simply looking straight at what disturbs our peace, and with a gentle, knowing smile, understand that the Universe has something better in mind for us than this.

May we walk gently and in peace this day knowing that we are blessed and we can bless. Let us be an instrument of calm today, a channel for peace. We can’t heal the insanity, but we can give it to the One Who can.

Let God’s Miracles bring a calm and quiet healing upon the earth.

“My holiness envelops everything I see.”  
“There is nothing to fear.” A Course In Miracles

“I will not be afraid to rest in the beauty of the fog.”

When life is too painful for whatever reason
And your mind and heart feel confused and
A fog settles over you,
Think of this …

There is beauty in the fog
As it softly enfolds the world
In its hazy dampness.
There is beauty in the fog,
As it lets you rest in its muted
And muffling embrace.

As you rest in fog’s embrace 
Feel yourself letting go and letting God.
And recognize that you are participating 
In true forgiveness. 

And then when the sharpness and light
Of the world come into focus once again,
You will find yourself feeling stronger for
Having allowed yourself a time of rest
As you surrender all things 
Into the beauty of the fog.

And God’s healing Love.

“Shall we continue to allow God’s grace to shine in unawareness, while the toys and the trinkets of the world are sought instead?”  ACIM

The world is a distracting place.  So easy to get lost in the toys and trinkets and the noise and nonsense that are all around us and everywhere we look.  And not easy to look past them to the Light and Love and Calm and Quiet grace that always lives inside us.  The fascination of the activities and things of the world keep us occupied while God’s quiet grace goes unnoticed and unrecognized.  And if we are asked to grow still and tap into our Truth we often think of it as boring and uninteresting not seeing at all the richness and the miracles that we are being offered.  We can’t see the true gifts through the artificial gifts. And so we trap ourselves in a world of pain and limitation not having a clue what we are turning down.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying the toys and trinkets and the noise and activity.  The mistake lies in thinking this is all there is. We need a balance. Instead of using the world’s distractions as an end in themselves, maybe we can ask the Universe how to use them as tools for growth and expansion of our thinking.  We can enjoy our human world, but let’s do it with God.  We can invite our Angels in to share our Starbuck’s Coffee with us, our mint chip ice cream, our glass of wine, our Netflix streaming, our new car, our great job, our sports bar experience.  Invite God on our hunting trip or on our skiing vacation.

Perhaps we’ll be asked to give a silent blessing to the Barista at Starbucks. Wouldn’t that make the coffee even more enjoyable?  Perhaps we can say a short prayer for everyone and everything connected to the processing of the mint chip ice cream we are enjoying, the glass of wine or bottle of beer we are drinking, the meal we are eating.  Perhaps we can share our Netflix experience with a family member or a friend or someone who needs a friend.  What about a smile and a thank you to the bartender or waitress at the sports bar or silently sending forgiveness and healing to everyone in attendance at the bar. It’s not about depriving ourselves of the things we enjoy.  It’s about sharing them with God.  It’s about including the most essential and basic part of ourselves in our worldly experience, our Creator and our Source.

Watch the news with God and ask Him to help you see it through His eyes. Ask Him to shine His Light everywhere drama and destruction is being played out in the world.  Let’s ask for help in seeing opportunities for simple random acts of kindnesses instead of falling to our knees in misery and desolation because the world looks so insane.  And we feel so helpless. 

Let us remember, “Of ourselves we can do nothing , but in God are all our problems solved.”  A Course In Miracles

The real problem is imbalance.  All ego world with no invitation to share it with God is the cause of the insanity, the skewed thinking, the sickness and the fear. God is always here.  Why not invite Him in. When we lift everything up to Him before we partake or get invested, we will see we are not powerless because we have the power of God within us and He will use us as instruments of peace and healing for the world at the same time as He shows us how much fun and amazing the world really is.  And we will see that He never takes anything away from us that we enjoy.  He only makes them more enjoyable because now the experiences come from love and abundance and joy instead of fear and limitation and madness.

Toys and trinkets shared with God become blessings and gifts and opportunities for love and joy and healing.

“God is the Love in which I am blessed.”  ACIM

”Into God’s Presence would I enter now.” A Course In Miracles

Be in the Now. 

Live in the Now. 

Dance and sing joyfully Now. 

Rejoice and celebrate Now.

Let your laughter ring out Now. 

And let all else go.

Not a moment ago, or a moment from now, but NOW. And then NOW and NOW again.  Practice this with gentle breathing and a soft smile, a quiet laugh. Repeat “God is the Love with which I experience this moment.” And watch your LIFE begin.

If you feel your peace disturbed by someone or something outside of you, quietly understand that you are simply judging someone or something apart from God.  Then simply grow still and ask for help to be released from this disturbance and let harmony and balance fill you.

Ask for guidance as to how to remove yourself from this place that challenges you and listen quietly for the answers. Watch carefully for miracles of love and healing to lead you on a new path which takes you gently away from fear and into Light.  And trust that in God, all is well.  All is well NOW.

“I thank my Father for His gifts to me.” A Course In Miracles

“Today I will let my gratitude bless everyone and everything.”

In this season of thankfulness, let’s open our hearts and minds to all that is beautiful and amazing in our lives. Gratitude is an attribute we all must cultivate if we want to open the world’s door to God’s loving presence. In gratitude we bless this moment, and everyone in our lives. In gratitude we remember to be thankful for our own loving selves. When our hearts are grateful, we shine a heavenly light upon everyone and everything. Our gratitude lifts the world to its highest state of being and brings peace to all.

GRATITUDE

G ratitude is quieting our thoughts and being thankful as we
R emember to keep our hearts and minds wide open and
A ware of every single opportunity to forgive the world and
T rust in God for everything that is good and right and holy
I n our lives and to use our blessings as stepping stones for
T ranscending fear and guilt as we open to our own truth
U nderstanding that God’s Divine and Holy Universe is
D esigned for our happiness and joy and offers to us
E verything we need and everything God wants for us.

Fear disappears in the light of our Gratitude. They cannot exist together.

I am the trust not the fear.

And then we must look again. Our prayer should be,

 “A happy outcome to all things is sure.” A Course In Miracles

“Let every voice but God’s be still in me.” A Course In Miracles

“I will remember that I am so much more than my fearful thoughts.”

The sound of a drop of rain upon a blade of grass is louder than the sound of a breaking heart.

A heart breaks silently and is often not recognized through the noise and distractions it hides behind. Activities of every kind can mask the breaking heart. It is well preserved behind blasts of rage and sobs of sadness and even screams of terror. It burrows beneath addictions and violent behavior. Few understand that all this chaos and craziness are signs of a wounded spirit and a frightened child crying out for the love that it is missing. The past has rushed forth to wreak havoc in the present and to cause alarm about the future.

To cover up our pain and fear, we judge the judgments, defend ourselves against attack and bury our heads under the blankets to protect ourselves from our own dark unseen places. We bully the bully and defend or attack the defenseless. But we never smile gently at the suffering soul and say kindly to ourselves and others, “You are so much more than all of this.”

All this acting out is but a refusal to recognize the breaking heart. All this being right at all costs while projecting blame upon the world outside is but a mask to cover our real need to be happy even when happiness seems impossible.

We find it too painful to look inside and see that the breaking heart is really a breaking open to a new identity, another way of seeing. It is a crack in the armor of our defenses allowing a sliver of light to shine through; a ray of hope for something better just over the horizon. So instead of quietly looking at the darkness that we feel threatens our existence we frantically try to fix things. We want to fix ourselves and everyone else thinking this is the solution for a better life. Without all this fixing what would be our purpose here? We don’t see the dishonesty in this way of thinking. We can’t see that true honesty is aligning our thoughts with our behavior. Our true thoughts always come from Love because that is God’s will for us. Love is a state of Being not of doing. And we must leave the fixing to the One Who can fix everything.

Truth is choosing happiness at the same time that we stop judging the world. It’s allowing our heart to break and accepting the pain knowing that it’s only temporary and part of the process of our healing. It’s giving up the past and being present to this moment with kindness and compassion and with trust in a Power greater than our small, suffering self.

It’s turning our face to God’s Light and praying, “Show me how my fellow human is not my enemy or even my business.” It’s accepting God’s will for us and for everyone knowing that God will lead us to where we need to be. He will tell us all we need to know if only we will listen.

God will harness our racing thoughts and give us the words to speak. We no longer have to try and fix the world from the vantage point of a breaking heart and a vision so narrow that nothing we do or say without Him is truly helpful to anyone. At last we can admit that we really don’t know anything and that’s okay because there is a Divine Power that knows all about all. God in His infinite wisdom will guide us in how to be most helpful if we allow Him.

Now we can feel the broken heart healing bit by bit, moment by moment, shard by shard. The darkness grows dimmer and the light grows brighter. The fear weakens and the joy strengthens. We see that it is a great relief to lay the world’s healing at God’s feet.

With the screams of terror, the blasts of rage and the sobs of sadness all silenced by God’s healing Love, we can actually hear a drop of rain or a weightless snowflake land softly upon a blade of grass. And what a lovely sound it makes.

“Let miracles replace all grievances.” A Course In Miracles

“I will let grievances be transformed into miracles of unity and peace today.”  

What if the problem is that we think we are many? And the solution is remembering that we are One? Let’s say the real problem is we believe we are separate from God and from each other. And the solution is that we forgive that thought and choose to remember we are One.  What would happen?  Only one thing can happen.  The idea of separation would collapse and be transformed into our Truth of Holy Oneness.

What if there was only one problem?  And one solution?  Let’s say the problem is that we are holding onto a grievance.  And the solution is that we have decided to let it go.  What would happen?  Only one thing can happen. The grievance would collapse and be transformed into a miracle.

What does this mean?  It means that every grievance is a separation thought no matter in what form it comes to us. Every grievance and every separation thought can be seen as a lesson; an opportunity for healing.  Healing of our thinking through our forgiveness is the only true healing.  Now we no longer see the grievance or the separation, but only our oneness in God. In that moment we have experienced a true healing.  Any healing that happens at the level of the spirit mind is permanent. This doesn’t mean we won’t cherish other grievances or even bring this one up again, but it does mean that the solution has happened; the problem has been solved.  It is our choice whether we recognize and accept this or not.  It is our choice whether we want to live in our healed mind or in our grievances and separation thinking.

In True Forgiveness, nothing can disturb our peace and all that we draw to us is joy and loving miracles. We are no longer a victim, but a powerful Child of a Loving God who is at peace and brings peace with us wherever we go. Now we are able to allow Him to walk before us and correct every problem we may think we have. Forgiveness is our path to perfect peace. The problem is we believe we are separate. The answer is WE are not.

FORGIVENESS, TRUST, GRATITUDE AND LOVE (The 4 laws for peace)

“Love is the way I walk in gratitude.”  A Course In Miracles

“I will smile with gratitude upon everyone and everything today.”

It is the ending of the harvest season and Thanksgiving is coming closer. This is the perfect time to remember to practice gratitude. Not just gratitude for things, but also let’s be grateful for our true blessings, beginning with our own miraculous selves. 

Let us be grateful for forgiveness; forgiveness in the sense that we own nothing that happens here, but instead every experience belongs to God. Forgiveness is as simple as letting go and letting God. Forgiveness is placing our trust in Him while we rest in the understanding that God’s Laws are now governing our lives. Forgiveness is the key to happiness and the result of trust. 

So now we are grateful for trust. Without trust our experience here is uncertain and fearful. Without trust we are as small children being thrown from a cliff every day. Are we or our loved ones going to get sick?  And what if we are sick already? What do we do with that? Are we going to lose our jobs? Or if we’ve lost our jobs, where do we go from here? What do we do about an abusive or unhappy relationship? Is the world going to come crashing to a violent end? Are our children in danger? How can we live with this uncertainty a moment longer? Why should we? The answer is TRUST. 

Now no matter how uncertain and scary it looks and feels, we are assured that there is a world beyond this world where all is being taken care of for us. This world is right here, right now. This place is as near as our hearts. It is our Home in God. Trust is a difficult thing for most of us, but we can at least be willing to trust. God takes our little willingness and lovingly uses it for His healing purpose. 

Being grateful for love seems logical even to our limited earthly self. After all Love is the answer. Love unlocks hearts and brings people together. Love, infinite and eternal, is how we were created and that makes us living, breathing miracles. The love that comes from God doesn’t know gender, ethnicity, physical circumstances, political or religious differences. Love from God just IS. And from this amazing Love comes peace.

Let’s rest for a moment in that thought and gratefully allow our hearts to fill with peace.  Breathe it in and then let it spill out into the world.  Again.  Again. See this peace as a gentle breeze that touches everything and everyone as it flows out into the atmosphere. It rests on every man, woman and child and gently caresses them, quiets their thoughts and calms their hearts. It touches every animal and plant and is our key to transformation. Peace is our true essence and God’s gift to His beloved children should we choose to accept it. Let’s gratefully accept the peace of our true existence, our real purpose and God’s loving gift to us.  Remember, forgiveness, trust, gratitude and love all bring us peace.

Now, we must be grateful for gratitude for it is our gratitude that flings open the windows and doors to our inner world. This is the world where we are one with God and with each other. This is the world that is our true home and the place from which we will begin to heal and the world with us. God heals, but we must allow. Gratitude opens our hearts and allows Him in so He can do His healing work for us and through us.

In gratitude we walk the earth today.

“The light of truth is in us, where it was placed by God.” A Course In Miracles

“Let me be a light for peace today.”

Each time we laugh with joy we are sharing a new beginning.
Each time we smile with quiet grace we are offering love.
Each time we open our minds and ask for help to forgive
We are being instruments for peace.
Each time we allow our heart to beat with calm and quiet confidence,
We are placing our trust where it belongs.

God’s Love and Light hum here at the Center of our Universe
And every heart now beats as one.

Miracles are commonplace.
Sickness and scarcity,
Death and destruction                                                                              

Danger and war
Have disappeared.

And we say, the only thing we can say,
“Thank you, God.”

And then,
“Amen.”

“The truth is simple; it is one, without an opposite. The quietness of its simplicity is so compelling that you will realize it is impossible to deny the simple truth. For there is nothing else.” A Course In Miracles

“I surrender all that is complicated and accept the simple truth.”

As we rest within our Self, we surrender to the Universe all that we do not want. Every complicated story we have told ourselves has disappeared. A flood of peace flows over us and we know somehow we are at home right here where we belong.

It makes us smile.

We walk the world with quiet grace in our own light.
And everyone around us shines their light with ours.
And all the world reflects our light and there is nothing else. Simple.

Joy.
Love.
Peace.
Stillness. 

So simple.

Life is perfect with you and me in total recognition of each other. Joined at our heart place; our spirits walking hand in hand.

“I have no neutral thoughts.” A Course In Miracles

“I will use my powerful thoughts only for good.”

The world cannot be unaffected by our thoughts,
Our choices or our energy,
Be they loving
Or filled with fear.

Every fear thought is a dam
Holding back
A tidal wave of LOVE.
Open the dam and …
… heal the world.

Love is the power of God in every thought.
