I am reminded of the benefits of keeping the Spiritual at the center of my life.
The material world is of great use to me.
And I have learned that when I focus first on the Divine then the material things in my life will become of their proper use.
Each morning when I wake up, I practice saying thank you for my life. Not a general thank but specific detailed statements of appreciation.
Thank you for my breath, health, thinking, home, body, mind, children, life partner, friends, family and the like.
I follow that with my intentions for the day.
Today I intend to enter each experience with kindness, humor, compassion, empathy, acceptance, appreciation, peace, and Love.
It is through this practice that I turn my focus first to that which I call God and the Holy Spirit that resides in and around me.
As I go through my day and I find myself feeling dis-ease, I will stop, breathe, repeat my appreciation statements and my intentions and then move on with my day.
May each of you find your path to the center and dwell with the inner peace I call God.
You are Loved.
