We are surrounded with an abundance of opportunities for us to share our spiritual and material bounty with others. So when we see individuals representing a church or humanitarian organization standing outside of stores collecting money to provide for others, firemen collecting gifts for children, and organizations that feed the homeless holiday meals, let us be grateful for their service and for creating an opportunity for us to express a spirit of generosity.
And above all, let us send out from our hearts a gift of prayer for the world that a collective awakening will take place, reminding us that on this round planet there are no sides, that each of us is here to birth the love that is endeavoring to express in, through and as us.

The voice of your heart-soul is an echo of the voice of Spirit within you. Speak to Spirit of your burning love, your sincere desire to merge your being in union with the One that no other love can rival. For just one twenty-fourth of your day drop frivolous entertainment, turn off social media, and merge with the most seductive Presence in all existence. Then watch as how each soul with whom you come in contact reflects back to you the face of the Cosmic Beloved..

When we fully open the inner eye of the soul, we actualize the words of Jesus the Christ when he said, “If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” This doesn’t occur through blind belief or parroting that we are one with Spirit. Instead, we must put awakening to this state of consciousness at the top of our to-do list and be willing to sit in the stillness of meditation, not leaving our seat when the mind howls like a yapping coyote, ponders the thoughts of others, rehashes old story lines, or runs its many other rackets on us. The more we are willing to stay put, the Light will emerge, even when we least expect or think we deserve it.

Within each day, Spirit gives us a gift of 86,400 seconds of living. Let us not take them for granted. Let us become aware of how many of those moments we devote to raising our hearts and voices in a song of gratitude to our Creator Source for its boundless blessings in our lives.

With each step in our evolutionary growth, our consciousness, cells and marrow become more deeply saturated with gratitude and thus our entire being becomes a prayer. No longer do we ask for things that glorify the ego, because the heart is so wholly content. No longer do we push away life’s challenges because we realize the gifts of inner growth they offer. Our entire existence becomes surrounded in an aura of joy. We cannot stop ourselves from putting our gratitude into action through exuding an energy of love, compassion, generosity of heart, selfless service, and sharing our financial resources with others and with the sources of our spiritual inspiration.
