Good morning family.
Good morning in Grand Rising.
Good day.
Good afternoon.
Good evening.
Opening this morning prayer.
And let us just listen to the sounds of life.
Connecting to the breath.
Closing the eyes.
Just listening to the sounds of life.
Thank you spirit for the ability to hear these beautiful,
Wonderful sounds.
The buzzing of the bees.
The buzzing of the flies.
Feeling this beautiful,
Vibrant,
Strong sun upon my skin.
As I sit back and close my eyes and feel the subtleness of the wind.
These small things that we take for granted.
The ability to feel externally and internally.
The ability to hear and see externally and internally.
And so as always starting with gratitude.
Being in gratitude for my humanness.
For my ability to feel emotions to the depths of my soul.
Gratitude for every which emotion that I may feel.
Whether I perceive them as joyous or painful.
So very grateful to be alive.
I'm grateful to know peace.
Something that I did not know most of my life.
And so I'm in gratitude this morning.
As I am every morning regardless of any situation or circumstance.
I'm in gratitude for the bed that I woke up in.
For the covers that kept me warm.
I'm in gratitude for hot water to be able to take a nice hot shower.
Gratitude for the soap to cleanse my body.
Gratitude for the flowers,
The plants,
The leaves,
The insects.
Gratitude for our babies,
Enti and Zen.
Gratitude for the patients.
Gratitude for all the many different sounds that the birds produce.
Knowing that everything I've spoken of and will speak of is an expression of you spirit.
Knowing that you continuously seek to express yourself through us.
As we are all individualized expressions,
Unique combinations,
Unique joyous love bugs of you.
So grateful that you know us by name.
That you meet us where we are.
Grateful for the silence and the stillness.
Grateful for the sounds of the river that flow behind us.
Honored to be here,
To be alive,
To be one with you.
To hear the sounds of the wind chimes.
Grateful to simply be.
And so I recognize that there is but one presence and one power.
And what a miracle it is to have that presence and power govern the entire race of humanity.
To govern our planet.
To work perfectly in perfect harmony in nature with itself.
And so I'm honored to be one small puzzle piece that's a part of a larger whole.
I'm grateful to know that we are all uniquely woven and pieced together in your perfection,
In your divine harmony.
Grateful to know that I am unified in your presence.
That there's no separation between you and I.
I know this to be true for myself,
Therefore I know it to be true for each and every individual walking this planet.
And I understand that being human can be challenging and painful at times.
And so I'm ever more grateful for the presence of you,
Spirit.
Your loving presence,
Which is never an absence.
Your loving presence that is with us in every thought,
With every tear,
With every fear,
With every thought of lack or doubt.
As you continuously guide us back home to ourselves,
To the expressions of you that we are.
And I'm grateful to realize that I have access to you right now.
I'm grateful to realize that I have access to abundance that you provide.
To joy and grace and peace that you provide.
Not just some of the times,
But all of the time.
So grateful to realize that where I am,
Exactly where I am,
As I am,
You are with me.
Because I know this to be true for myself and my soul,
I know it to be true for every other being.
And for that alone,
I am grateful.
And so spirit,
I just give thanks.
I give thanks for humility.
I give thanks for silence.
I give thanks for words expressed.
I give thanks for feelings and emotions expressed.
I give thanks for all of our lessons,
All of our teachings,
And all of our unlearnings.
I give thanks for the sunshine that is just speaking to my soul right now.
I give thanks for the filter that allows us to drink clean water.
I give thanks for the tea bags as my brother and I have been having some wonderful,
Glorious tea in the morning time.
I give thanks for the weeds that are often confused with flowers because everything is based on perception.
And so I just ask that you do as you always do and open our hearts ever so more so that we may look through the prism and the lens of love and so that all the other lives are washed away.
I give thanks to you,
Spirit,
For all the things that I see and all the things that I don't,
All the things that I know and all that I don't.
I give thanks for the love that you continue to pour into my heart,
Into my being.
I give thanks to know you on a cellular and soulful level.
And if all we can ever do in a moment of prayer,
In a moment of despair,
In a moment of strife or grief or joy is say thank you.
Thank you,
Spirit.
Thank you.
Thank you will always be sufficient.
So I thank you for this moment,
The preceding moments and all the moments to come.
I thank you for your excellence.
I thank you for the ability to practice.
I thank you for every opportunity you provide me to practice patience.
And so I give thanks for all of this and so much more.
Releasing this word and this prayer into the law and to love and to the law and to itself,
Knowing that you are God and that there's only one ingredient,
Which is you,
And that is love.
Thank you,
Divine spirit.
I release this word by saying,
And so it is,
I love you and I honor you.
And I'm so grateful to walk side by side,
Hand in hand with you,
Spirit.
Whoever listens to this,
Remember and giving us all a gentle reminder that you're perfect as you are,
And that love is present in its fullness in you,
As you and through you.
I love you all family so very much.
Have a beautiful day.
