I am reminded how my spiritual path is one of service to others.
I am to give freely of my time and talents in order to continue my spiritual growth.
I am not always the best at this practice, somedays I choose to be left alone, in my linai watching the woodland creatures in my back yard or playing solitaire on my phone.
I am aware that I can use that time as restoration for my body and spirit, yet I could also do more for others.
For me it is a balancing act, if I give all my time and energy to others, I falter and stop being of service. If I hide away at home and do nothing I am stuck and not growing spiritually.
My daily practice of making statements of appreciation (prayers), meditation, affirmations, and setting of my intentions gives me that needed conscious contact with the Divine Love that I call God, and this gives me all I need to maintain balance.
In balance I can participate well in my daily life and enter each experience with compassion, empathy, kindness, understanding, Love, and joy. This gives me all I need to give of myself freely.
May each of you allow yourself the gift of giving freely.
You are Love and Loved.
