The day that I hugged Auri The day that we opened ourront door cuma In this precious and sacred moment,
We open our hearts and our minds to the impressive living spirit,
Alive in us right now.
I know that there is a wisdom and intelligence,
A creativity,
A joy,
That is alive in all things right now,
That is seeking the highest and best in all things right now.
We see this in the beauty of the world around us,
And it reminds us of the beauty of the world within us.
I know that I am aligned with a power and a wisdom,
A creativity and a joy,
Beyond my wildest dreams.
It lives in me now.
I let anything that is unlike that my highest expression fall away,
And I move myself right into the realization of the gift of family.
What a great joy it is to be part of a family.
Perhaps it is our family of origin that we grew up with.
Perhaps it is our family of choice that we have created.
The people who have showed up in our lives at the perfect time to bring their perfect gifts.
In this moment now,
We give thanks for the amazing power that family brings to our world.
I acknowledge the truth that our souls have come here to learn and to grow,
And families are where this work gets done,
Where our love is shared with each other,
Where we find meaning and depth in our relationships.
So for each person listening now,
Take this moment to bless your family,
Just as it is.
I give thanks for the gift of connection,
Supporting each other's spiritual growth,
That we might become more,
That more of spirit might show up through us in the world.
I give thanks for the incredible gift of being a parent,
The most difficult and frustrating and important job there is.
For it is true that our children are not our children.
They are indeed the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.
We are here to help them on their way,
To support them,
To encourage the very best of them to come forward.
I give thanks for each child that's born into this world,
For the gift that they bring,
For their unique offering to this beautiful fabric of life.
For all the circumstances and trials that we face together as a family,
I know that it makes us grow stronger,
Wiser.
I affirm for each of us that we take good care of ourselves and model that to each other,
That our relationships are healthy and strong and support absolutely the best of us coming forward into the world.
And I give thanks for the Divine Mother that holds us all,
Holds us all in her hands,
That has birthed us into this world to show up as love.
Each of us,
A beautiful child with great work to do.
So wherever we are on that spiral of becoming this day,
Wherever we are in our family,
Whatever role we might play,
The parent,
The child,
The grandparent,
The friend,
I bless each of us for the difference that we make in other people's lives.
We are the place where God shows up as relationship,
The place where God shows up as support,
As unconditional love.
We are that place.
So I give thanks for this family that we are all a part of,
That we are all included in.
We can never fall outside of this family.
In this moment I give thanks for the blessings,
So many blessings that live with us now and the blessings that we are attracting into our lives beyond our wildest dreams.
Take that in.
Know that is your truth.
That is your reality right now.
You are a blessed member of God's family and you are always welcome home.
I give great thanks for this truth.
So it is.
Amen.
