”We trust our ways to God and say “Amen.” In peace we will continue in His way, and trust all things to Him. In confidence we wait His answers, as we ask His Will in everything we do.” A Course In Miracles

“I will place my trust in something Higher today.”

We must allow God’s thinking to reign, not our own. God doesn’t see the world as we do. God’s world is Loving and Kind and Helpful because it doesn’t come from anger, fear and righteousness. It comes from Love. It comes from knowing all about everyone and loving us as His creations, not each other’s enemies. He doesn’t punish His children, He brings them together by showing them that they are not what they think, separated bodies fighting for their lives. Instead they are His creations at one with Him and with each other.

How does that look? We don’t really know … yet. And we don’t need to. All we need to do is lift our eyes to Him, open our hearts to Him and let Him in to make the corrections that are needed to heal us and the world. Simply stop judging and pray, “God, I give this to you. I no longer need to be right because I know my needing to be right isn’t helping anything. I just need to see myself, my life and the world through your eyes.”

his doesn’t mean we don’t do anything in the world. Of course we do.  But we do it with Love instead of judgment, righteousness and fear. We pray, “Show me Your will, God.” Then we let it go and TRUST in God to use our willingness and our loving work to make all things right.

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

February 23, 2026

“Long ago the end was written in the stars and set into the Heavens with a shining Ray that held it safe within eternity and through all time as well. And holds it still; unchanged, unchanging and unchangeable.” A Course In Miracles

“I am changing my story and I’m sticking to it.”

We all have a book inside us.  It’s called an autobiography or the book of our life. It is written by us daily and in each moment.  It can be edited or re-written at any time and in any way we choose. There can be drama and darkness if we want.  Or light and healing if we choose something else.  There can be a series of judgments or a rush of joy.

There can be attack whereby we project our beliefs on others or feel victimized, hurt or angry about the judgments of others upon ourselves. Or we can allow kindness and compassion to flow through our pages.  Every moment of each day, every situation, relationship and experience we are writing in our book.  How we choose to live our life is how the words are written and read by us and all those in our story.

So what will it be?  A love story? Or a tragedy? Light filled and miraculous? Or anxious and fearful? Why don’t we decide to make this new year a light year away from the last year. A year of Light that goes on forever would be nice.  “… a shining Ray held safe within eternity.” We’ve lived the old story long enough. Let’s write something new. To make a new story for ourselves, all we need do is to let go of all we do not want. God will do the rest

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

No matter how it looks or sounds or feels, do not be deceived. There is something beautiful and miraculous happening on the other side of the insanity that we have to be open to so that we can be true channels for healing. Not warriors for righteousness, but doorways for love; God’s Love.

Now smile with relief that we in our littleness and limitedness are not in charge here. God in His Greatness is working through us. Be open to miracles. Be open to kind thoughts. Be open to compassion. Find strength in gentleness instead of violence. Instead of counting the world’s mistakes, look for the good things happening here; the beauty and the blessings happening all around us. There is so much we overlook because we have allowed our vision to be blocked by fear.

Watch the world change before our eyes as we become willing to look at it differently. And then no matter what appears to be happening here, because God is our Guide, we will be at peace and in our peace will rise great courage and confidence and healing will happen without one angry word or defensive thought or act.

God bless you all as you take a step in the right direction; the direction of God. It will take time to change our minds about how the world should be. We may think that gentleness and kindness are weakness and anger and righteousness are strength for a while yet. But the more we exercise our true strength and are willing to let go of our archaic thinking and then see the results of our new way of thinking and being in the world, the more we will believe and Trust in Him Who Knows All about All.

And the sooner we choose to fly with God on the powerful wings of an eagle and let go of the little sparrow of our small thinking, the sooner will the world be healed, one Child of God at a time.

“I am not a body, I am free.  For I am still as God created me.” A Course In Miracles

“Today I will remember I am more than just a body.”

When we think of ourselves, we generally think of our professions or our jobs, (teacher, minister, carpenter, lawyer, police officer, clerk, etc.) our relationships (parent, son, daughter, husband, wife, partner, sister, brother, friend, etc.).  Or we respond with our interests or our avocations, ( artist, writer, musician, athlete, actor, gardener, etc.).  All those things make up our worldly experience, but they are what we do not what we are. 

Our inner voice speaks of something else. 
It’s time to listen.

We are not our bodies, but something more.
We are not our weaknesses, but something strong.
We are not our doubts, but something certain.
We are not our illnesses or disabilities, but something whole and perfect.
We are not our dark moments, but something joyous and filled with light.
We are not our fears, but something peace-filled and confident.
We are not our roller coaster emotions, but something stable, constant and eternal.

We have a body. But that something else, that indefinable something that we generally overlook or deny about ourselves is living quietly inside the busy, doing person we believe we are. Our bodies have a purpose. It is being a channel for loving communication no matter what we do in the world. No matter what is happening in the world. But the body is not us.

“… love cannot be far behind a grateful heart and thankful mind …”A Course In Miracles

 “I will just say Thank you God today – for everything.” 

Any changes for the better must come from our minds first and this takes us back to our own miraculous selves. We have the power within our own minds to change our experiences by believing in something greater than this world. As we lift our thinking from the darkness of an uncertain world, to the Light and the certainty of God we will see that all our problems have been solved and everything we need has been provided and we can rest in Him positive that all is well.

“I accept God’s Will for happiness for me and I accept it as my purpose now.” A Course In Miracles

And for this we say, “Thank you God.”

“The light has come. You are healed and you can heal.” A Course In Miracles

So now we can decide this moment whether we believe God or not.  Actually, He doesn’t expect us to believe Him, but He does expect us to want to believe.  Our little willingness opens up a channel for God’s Love to flow through. It is in His Love we will experience moments of pure joy, peace, love and light. It is in those moments we can “see”, God is absolutely right. We are healed. And

“When I am healed I am not healed alone.” A Course In Miracles.

When we are healed, we extend that healing to all the world.

Let our prayer be, “I want to see that I am healed.”

“Let this be a day of stillness and of quiet listening.” A Course In Miracles

 “I will live, look, act, speak and listen with God today.”

If we live through our heart we will experience life more fully.

If we look through our inner eyes, we will see more clearly.

If we act gently, we will feel more intensely.

If we speak kindly, we will communicate more truthfully.

If we listen quietly, we will hear more easily.

If we open our minds and question our judgments
We will discover amazing things about ourselves and each other.

And God will smile joyously upon us. “They are getting it,” He will think. “My beloved Children are finally getting it.”

 So today let us

… live through our heart,  

… look inward,

… act gently,

… speak kindly,

… listen quietly,

… question our judgments,

… and make God smile.

“The journey that we undertake together is the exchange of dark for light, of ignorance for understanding.” A Course In Miracles

“I will make room in my heart for everyone and everything today.”

A snowflake lightly kisses the tip of a pine tree needle. And the tree, tall and majestic and ever green smiles in response as it shares its branches and its snowflake with a bird. A bright red cardinal lands on the tree and sips the melted flake and his thirst is quenched. The cardinal flies to the feeder that humans have kept full of his favorite seeds. There he communes with the goldfinches and the chickadees. It’s clear the birds know each other. They show no fear or concern and often sit together on their perches at the feeder for a moment before they take their food and flit off. And well they should be acquainted as they have gathered together around this feeder many times and in all seasons. They are clearly unconcerned about their differences or about sharing their food for they know instinctively that the world belongs to them all. And they know their humans as well. Why else would they fly to the window and flap their wings to remind them that the seed is low? Communication is key.

“Communication ends separation.” A Course In Miracles.

Communication is not some of God’s Children deciding for us all. It is being still and letting God decide for everyone.

The cat sits safely in the window, protected from its own nature as it is entertained by the birds. Its whiskers twitch, its nose sniffs, its head turns to follow the flitting of the birds. Alert and happy to be a part of a greater world. Let’s sit in God’s window and let Him protect us from our baser nature so we can be open to His Grace. Now are we able to be a part of a Greater World.

“The teachers of God have trust in the world, because they have learned it is not governed by the laws the world made up. It is governed by a power that is in them but not of them. It is this power that keeps all things safe. It is through this power that the teachers of God look on a forgiven world.” A Course In Miracles

Humans, animals and plants, all living together in harmony. It’s the world at its best. Nature at work in the most Divine way possible. Love flows uncomplicated and natural. It’s not even recognized as love. It only IS. No questions. No judgments. Accepted and allowed. And it all works perfectly. Like a holy puzzle where each piece is pre-set and fits together in a way that we are incapable of conceiving. If we want the world to survive we must first stop trying to make it work through the laws of insanity and separation and divisiveness. We must lay down our defenses and trust in the Truth of Who we are.

We humans could take lessons from nature. The world would be a beautiful place if we fed each other the way we feed the birds and our pets and our plants accepting each other as we are. Making room for everyone. For are we not all God’s Creations? Is this not God’s world? Are we not all entitled to miracles and a beautiful life? God would never deny us the happiness we are entitled to. So who are we to deny it to each other?

“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 its 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, viruses and end wars? 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 and the world?

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.

“… replace darkness with light and fear with love.” A Course In Miracles

Let’s envision fear (anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, etc.) as a child in need of love.  We lift the frightened child into our heart and soothe it with a gentle lullaby. The child is having a nightmare. We must be kind and patient with our young and frightened self.

As we offer love and reassurance to the child inside us, the nightmare is lifted up and disappears into the light of our own truth. Confusion and terror are calmed by comfort and reassurance.

By sending thoughts of love and kindness to our frightened child within, calm and quiet confidence rises up and comforts us. As our loving muscle strengthens, our fear muscle weakens. Fear cannot fight love or argue with it because love simply is and can’t fight back.  Fear needs a fight in order to survive. It needs validation; something to hold onto. Fear cannot cling to love or argue with it. It simply slips away like a shadow in the night fades silently into light.

In lifting fear up to Love we have gifted ourselves with a power we never knew we possessed. That is the power to be happy in the face of fear. Just as we would comfort any frightened child, we can bring our own spirit back to peace with a simple smile, a gentle hug and a loving thought.  “All is well.”

“I seek but what belongs to me in truth.  God’s gifts of joy and peace are all I want.” A Course In Miracles.

Next time we feel fear in any form, let’s smile at our self and say, “I love you.” And feel the transformation from fear into peace begin, one loving thought and moment at a time.

Let God’s Miracles bring healing everywhere. Amen.

“The stillness speaks in gentle sounds of love the Child of God remembers from before … The stillness of the peace of God is mine.” A Course In Miracles

God lies beyond words. He is simply Love.

Joy
Abundance
Happiness
Health
Safety
Peace
Light
Laughter
Kindness
Compassion
Tolerance

Beyond the words are the ideas. Beyond the ideas is the experience. All are the results of Love.

The only activity required to give them and receive them is … FORGIVENESS.

Forgiveness happens best in stillness.  The stillness that lies beyond words.

“I will be still today and let FORGIVENESS happen.” 

“I will be still today and let LOVE in.”

 “I will gladly attend God’s class and change my mind today.”

We all have the power to change our mind.  Saying “this is just how or who I am” is no excuse for limitation and mistaken thinking or behavior. We can always be different.  In fact, we are here to learn and grow.  Not stay the same.

Love knows no boundaries.
Kindness belongs to everyone.
Helpfulness is not for just a few.
Gentleness is inside each one of us.

And the confidence to sustain these loving attributes is there as well. It’s time to tap, tap, tap into our better, stronger selves. If we listen well we will hear God’s Voice rooting for our best selves to emerge victorious.

Listening well takes an inner ear; 
Seeing clearly, an inner eye.

We all have hearts.  We all have minds.  We all have the power to put them to a loving use. We all have everything we need to be a better self. If we need help in changing, there is help everywhere.  We just need ask and God will bring it to us.

We all know the attributes within us that could be stronger, healthier and more loving. Our imperfections are not a secret to us or anyone else. No matter how hard we try to keep them so.

Being mistaken is being human. 
But the world is a classroom and as long as we’re here 
Why not take advantage of the curriculum for being a better person. 

Let’s sign up together today. The tuition is free. And everyone graduates with honors!

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

January 3, 2026

“ For you must be as God created you. Truth does not fight against illusions, nor do illusions fight against the truth. Illusions battle only with themselves. Being fragmented, they fragment. But truth is indivisible, and far beyond their [illusion’s] little reach. You will remember what you know when you have learned you cannot be in conflict. One illusion about yourself can battle with another, yet the war of two illusions is a state where nothing happens. There is no victor and there is no victory. And truth stands radiant, apart from conflict, untouched and quiet in the peace of God.” A Course In Miracles

“I will gladly wave the white flag of absolute surrender today; surrendering to God.”

If we think we have to stand apart from God and fight for our protection and our rights, we need to take a quiet moment and stand back and recognize that that thinking is what keeps our world at war; war inside our families, inside our communities, inside our country and in the world. And inside each one of us.

We don’t need to be at war with each other. We’ve already tried that and look at our world. Clearly that doesn’t work. What we need is to learn a better way.

Trying to solve the world’s problems at the level of the world is impossible. At the level of the world we are blinded by our own fears and anger and sadness and limited by our opinions, misperceptions and misunderstandings and past experiences. Instead we need to ask for help to rise above the fray and ask God for a better way. 

“On our own we can do nothing, but in God are all our problems solved.” ACIM

Every time we attack another or defend ourselves, no matter how “right” and “righteous” we feel, we are allowing ourselves to be part of the problem and have let the solution fade from our sight. And now we’re stuck in the same old, archaic thinking that has kept this world in chaos since the beginning of time.

”We trust our ways to God and say “Amen.” In peace we will continue in His way, and trust all things to Him. In confidence we wait His answers, as we ask His Will in everything we do.” A Course In Miracles

“I will place my trust in something Higher today.”

We must allow God’s thinking to reign, not our own. God doesn’t see the world as we do. God’s world is Loving and Kind and Helpful because it doesn’t come from anger, fear and righteousness. It comes from Love. It comes from knowing all about everyone and loving us as His creations, not each other’s enemies. He doesn’t punish His children, He brings them together by showing them that they are not what they think, separated bodies fighting for their lives. Instead they are His creations at one with Him and with each other.

How does that look? We don’t really know … yet. And we don’t need to. All we need to do is lift our eyes to Him, open our hearts to Him and let Him in to make the corrections that are needed to heal us and the world. Simply stop judging and pray, “God, I give this to you. I no longer need to be right because I know my needing to be right isn’t helping anything. I just need to see myself, my life and the world through your eyes.”

This doesn’t mean we don’t do anything in the world. Of course we do.  But we do it with Love instead of judgment, righteousness and fear. We pray, “Show me Your will, God.” Then we let it go and TRUST in God to use our willingness and our loving work to make all things right.

“Accept the miracle… of healing, and it will go forth because of what it is. It is its nature to extend itself the instant it is born. And it is born the instant it is offered and received.” A Course In Miracles

“I will walk in the light of my own forgiveness today and see miracles of healing.”

We don’t have to fix the world and the calamity and chaos we see out there, but we can pray for healing and peace and forgiveness for the greater world as we practice kindness and forgiveness within our own world. Forgiveness is energy and it lives in us, our gift from God. He instilled it in us for our use in keeping our lives peaceful and for healing our experiences along with our relationships. When we forgive others and ourselves, we open our minds and hearts for another, better way of being. This better way sends ripples of loving energy from us to others and through others to more others. These ripples are miracles.

Forgiveness is contagious as laughter is contagious as joy is contagious as kindness is contagious and as peace is contagious. Instead of spreading anger and disease and fear, let us spread Love and Peace and Joy through small acts and thoughts and words of forgiveness and kindness. Let us be kind to ourselves and see that kindness manifest into healing in our lives. Sometimes all we can do for someone else is pray for peace for them. And if that’s the best we can do, then that is what we must do. And that best is far greater than we know for it puts us on the path as miracle workers for God.

“Today I can go past all fear, and be restored to love and holiness and peace. Today I am redeemed, and born anew into a world of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and the peace of God.”  A Course In Miracles

Today I will only be kind to myself and everyone.

Let’s practice kindness on each other in this new year. We can’t heal the world, but we can be instrumental in healing our life. We can heal our thoughts and through our healed thoughts heal our relationships.

Our exercise is this. Next time we have an encounter with someone close to us, our spouse or partner, our children, our siblings and parents, our friends and co-workers let’s watch how we behave? Do we react to the fears of others with more fear? Or do we react with kindness and compassion recognizing that the acts and words of others are only a reflection of their state of mind at a given moment and not them at all. Let’s stand back and observe, not how others are being with us, but how we are being with them.

It is difficult and almost impossible sometimes to be calm and kind when someone is lashing out at us or behaving angrily. So in that moment the best we can do is say silently to God, “ I want no part of this.” Then excuse ourselves and find a quiet place to breathe. The act of not reacting is a very powerful tool for peace. It has often been touted as an act of weakness, but there is nothing more powerful than choosing not to be a part of the problem, but instead to allow ourselves to be Guided by a Higher Force, our greater Source and let God tell us how to react instead of deciding for ourselves. It is much weaker to lash back instinctively than to take the higher ground and let God choose for us how we should be or what we should do in any given situation.

Then when things are quieter and calmer and we are feeling stronger we can begin our practice of kindness and compassion. Maybe not at first with the person we feel attacked by, but begin simpler. Think kind thoughts of others that we are more peaceful with. We can call our parents and say, “I love you.” for no apparent reason.

We can get down on the floor and play with our children and let our voices join in joyous laughter. We can hug our spouse or partner and say, “I am grateful for you.” We can call our friend and tell them, “I’m so glad you are in my life.” To our co-worker, we can say, “It’s really great working with you.” For ourselves we can choose, “I am happy and so blessed.”

If we practice small gestures and simple, honest words and acts of kindness when our life is relatively calm, we can strengthen that muscle in us that is designed to be an instrument of peace in the world. Smile more often for no reason. Laugh out loud at the Murphy’s Laws of life. Laughing at ourselves and with others is a powerful tool for seeing the world from a less serious and doom clouded vision. And remember to be kind.  Always, always be kind.

“I come to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure You will hear my call and answer me.” A Course In Miracles

“I will be still and listen quietly today.

What’s the gift we forget to give ourselves?
Silence.

Gentle silence in the face of chaos
Is what we search for and can’t find
In the midst of the busy noise of the world
That assaults our senses morning, noon and night.

Silence is so quiet that we overlook it
In our search for joy and peace.

Yet in silence lies the answer to all our searching.

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

“For perfect effectiveness the Atonement belongs at the center of the inner altar, where it undoes the separation and restores the wholeness of the mind. The children of God are entitled to the perfect comfort that comes from perfect trust. The Atonement is the only gift that is worthy of being offered at the altar of God, because of the value of the altar itself.” A Course In Miracles

“I will kneel at my inner Altar and place my trust in God today knowing Atonement means complete forgiveness, total healing and perfect oneness.” 

As we kneel before the Altar of Peace, Love encircles us like a ring of light protecting us from all that seems to want to harm us. We cannot be but safe here when we understand our safety is governed by God’s laws not ego’s. And now we fall to our knees before the Altar of Peace that stands like a beacon of hope before us and assures us we are entitled to miracles and healing and Oneness.

The altar isn’t made of wood or metal or anything physical. Instead it is Light and Love and comes from within us and shines outward. We can bow our heads or not, lift our faces upward or close our eyes and kneel or not and still see this Altar of Peace. We can just be where we are and as we are for the Altar of Peace is seen not through our bodies’ eyes, but through our inner eye which is always open and ready to see the truth. The truth is that God Is, and nothing else exists.

Our smile transforms our faces as joy fills us and lifts us reminding us of Who and What we are. We are God’s Creations, not in body form, but in spirit which has no form. In God’s image not in ours. And now we can see that we are Spirit Creations having a human experience and not the other way around.

As our Spirit Love governs our existence and our human experience and gains strength and power through practice our experience is transformed from one of fear and victimhood to one of forgiveness and love through acts and words of kindness and compassion. Kindness and compassion for ourselves as well as for all others in our lives.

Instead of hearing and reacting to sadness and anger and fear in ourselves and others by responding in kind, we understand that fear and anger and sadness are simply calls for love and cries for help. As we kneel at the Altar of Peace, we are shown that we as humans are asking for and desperately wanting help to see ourselves as God sees us, but not sure how to make that happen.  

The only way to make it happen is to let it go. Lift it all up to God, and simply let it go. “I place the past, the present and the future in the hands of God.” And now the Altar of God within us shines forth as a stream of glorious and never ending Light and we see nothing else.

“Miracles are seen in light and light and strength are one.” A Course In Miracles

“I will see the miracles of Oneness today.”

The flame of a single candle can light the world. 

Envision yourself standing in the center of the Universe holding up a lit candle. Watch its uncertain flickering flame become stronger and more steady as you gain in strength of understanding and trust in your power as a Creation of God. Quietly watch your candle as more and more, it lights you from within to the very core of your being.  All around you are the unlit candles of others who have not yet learned what you now know.

The unlit candles represent the darkness, fear and sadness, hopelessness and anger that permeates the being of so many in this world. Whenever we try to fix a thing through our limiting fears and hopeless negativity, without inviting God in, without joining lovingly with all God’s children, our candles remain unlit and separate.

We can’t see what we are meant to see. The Truth is Light not darkness.  The Truth is Hope not hopelessness.  The Truth is joy, not sadness. The Truth is Peace not anger. The Truth is Love not fear. The Truth is Health not sickness.

Now see yourself once more, standing in the light of your beautifully lit candle and hold out your flame as you invite others to light their candles by joining your flame with theirs. And as each child of God comes before you and you offer your flame watch each candle as it is kindled by your holy light.

“When many candles are kindled from one another, it is the same flame that burns in all candles.” Deepak Chopra

See the flames spread like a flowing river of glorious light as more and more are awakened to the awareness that fear and sadness, hopelessness, anger and darkness disappear as God’s Children, one by one join with you at their heart center and light their candle from yours. And you will be aware as well, how powerful is one lit candle in a world that needs Peace and Love through joining in Oneness and Light. Be witness to the healing of the world through one open heart and the single flame of one lit candle.

And that’s how miracles happen.  One candle, one person, one heart at a time.

“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 then we know for sure, we are okay.

“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.
