A very big aloha.
My name is Reverend Cindy Paulus and I wanted to talk.
Today about making the most.
Of every day.
And making the most of every moment.
Right now it's,
Oh,
It's a lovely summer day.
Light breeze blowing outside here on Maui and lovely trees are just full and green.
Sky is ultra blue.
It's just,
It's really paradise,
You know?
And the gift of being here in this lovely place is something.
It's very precious.
And the thing is that.
Make the most of a day for me is like,
Well,
Okay,
Meditating.
Because I always find I can do it.
Reached really amazing.
Depths inside,
An inspiration that comes from inside.
And then going out on a walk.
And finding that inspiration in nature and the beauty that surrounds me.
And making the most of that time.
That precious time that is being given.
Time is really relative,
And it slips away really quickly.
Rather quickly.
And the thing is that.
.
.
We are given this time as a gift,
A precious gift.
And there's things that you might want to make as your wish list.
That you wish to do in a day.
It's like contacting a friend in the course of a day,
You know,
Sharing some expression of love and caring.
Maybe contacting a relative,
You know,
And connecting with that.
Taking some time to be inspired.
In some way.
What would inspire you today?
What would inspire you?
What would.
.
.
Bring you that gift of inspiration,
That spirit that comes from within.
That's a precious,
Precious gift that you can be given.
And that gift is something that you can choose.
To take advantage of,
You know.
As you create your day.
And what is so valuable is to know what inspires you.
What brings you closer to Spirit?
And then also how to share.
That gift of inspiration.
How to be able to.
Have that circle of energy of inspiration.
Continue to go around.
Because that's really what.
It's all about is this beautiful gift of being here and sharing what we have here.
And being able to appreciate it.
While we're here.
That's why I always go back to gratitude and remembering to be grateful.
It's so important to be grateful for what we have.
The attitude of gratitude is truly a wonderful gift,
Of course,
And I've talked about that often.
So as we continue to live as an instrument.
For that energy,
That spirit to come through us and to share it and to use it as we continue to be inspired.
As we continue to be a channel.
For that inspiration.
To let that inspiration pour through us in so many ways,
We are in tune with the highest energy that is out there.
And we are an instrument of that energy.
And that is really a true amazing thing.
Powerful gift.
The gift of being.
That beautiful gift that is truly.
Something that is special in life.
And I offer this to you as the best way to be able to be in tune with it is through you being open to receive that and share it yourself.
And I bless you and honor you and am so very,
Very grateful for you being there.
What a precious wonder this magic of living brings.
With flowers that blossom and rainbows that reach from heaven to here.
Where heaven and earth meet.
What magic this creation is.
With the nature that brings this beauty in such a state of peace.
All part of a whole we can experience in every moment.
That within us is complete.
This eternal light,
The sacred spirit alive in the soul,
Perceived in so many ways to know.
What a precious wonder this magic of living is.
Present in what we see.
Here where rainbows meet.
With the blessing and smile it brings.
I send blessings of goodness that come from the source to you so you may see how good life really is and have the strength to see you through.
May you step out of darkness and be bathed in bright light.
May that light awaken you to the miracle here in life.
I bow to the amazing grace that has the power to truly heal all the pain and sorrow and make us whole and free.
And lifts us to be an instrument of your love and rainbows of light that transform us.
With love.
What a precious wonder this magic of living brings.
With flowers that blossom and rainbows that sing.
And from heaven come here to reach us,
Where heaven and earth do meet.
