Every sunrise is a blessing, a gift just for today. Embrace it and enjoy it before it fades away.â If we choose to see the gifts that God has given us, we will see His fingerprints of Love and divinity all around us.
Some days may be harder than others. Regardless of the type of day we may be having, itâs important to remember that we need to slow down. To focus on TODAY. To take it one day at a time or one moment at a time. We can make a conscious choice to be present, in the here and now. We can ask God to help us become more aware of our surroundings, and more willing to focus on our blessings.
We can choose to be filled with Peace in this moment. We can choose to be filled with Love and light. All of these are gifts that we can give to ourselves. Gifts that we can give to God, and gifts that we can give to others. We can choose to focus our attention on seeing the light, beauty and love that is woven in all that surrounds us at this very moment.
God wants us to be more present. He tells us in Mathew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
We can remind ourselves God wants us to practice being more present. That each moment brings with it the gift of life and the chance to love. This small moment, this precious day will not come again. We have never seen a day like this before. Therefore we must try to make it the best it can be. And to focus our choices and activities on what is truly important and on what will allow us to feel more comfortable and connected to God and his daily gifts.
We can change the way we see things normally, and focus instead on the beauty that is around us. we can start to view our day as being saturated in sacred sights and sounds. Then, this moment right here, right now, where we are, broken, messy, or whatever it may be, becomes a beautiful & holy moment.
James 1:17 Saysďżź: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turningďżź.
God is the provider and the giver of all Good gifts. If we choose to see His light in our lives, we will see Him and feel Him. He gives us more than we realize daily. He loves us and wants us to keep our view focused on Him. The Father of lights, the Father of our souls. He who knows the end from the beginning is ready to help us and lift us daily. We just have to reach up to Him and consciously be aware of how blessed we are and the gifts that He is constantly giving us.
So, letâs remind ourselves today to look up! Look up to the Father of lights to fill us with more light. As his children we already have his light within us. But it is up to us to fill our hearts, homes and all that surrounds us with more of His divine light.
Letâs remember to not allow the enemy to bring us down. Recognizing the negative ways in which he affects us. But also remembering that weâre stronger than we realize. Our power comes from our Father in Heaven. Who is filled with love, light and peace. He is the giver of all good gifts. Who is granting us the gift of being here today.
We can reject negativity with prayer and feeding our minds and souls all that is good & uplifting. We get to CHOOSE to focus on the light or not. God invites us to experience His love in the daily moments that He gives us on this earth. So, Enjoy them and allow your heart to be peaceful and soak in that daily divine light.
During this Christmas season I invite each one of us to look for the light, for the gifts that God so abundantly gives each one of us daily. I invite us to also be a light to others and to consciously choose to be filled with Love, Light and Peace form one moment to the next. Letâs recognize and thank God for all of the gifts He has blessed us with and continues to provide even to this very moment.
Finally, I want to challenge you to make a promise to yourself to take your focus away from yourself this holiday season and instead think of a gift that you could give to God. Ask yourself âWhat is one gift that I could offer to God this week?â What would be a good gift to give Him for all He does for me?â I pray that as you do this you will be blessed to feel an even greater abundance of Gods love and blessings.
Tonight in class I invite you to be in the moment. To enjoying the gift of being able to move your body and to strengthen yourself physically, mentally and spiritually. If youâre feeling stressed and overwhelmed I invite you to make time for class & think about the ways in which it will benefit you. Come ready to have a peaceful meditation that will re-center you and re-focus you on the truly important things in your life. This is the time of the year when we need this the most. Love you all and letâs do this together! đ
Love,
