Gratitude & Ponderings
1- In World Gratitude
I am asked to:
Align with the
Heart's Calling
and Embrace the
Great-full-ness
of Life
2- Kahlil Gibran
tells me to:
-wake and
give thanks
for another day
of loving
-meditate
love's ecstasy
-return home
at eventide
with gratitude
-have a prayer
for my beloved
in my heart
and
a song of praise
upon my lips
3- World Gratitude
Day 1- WAKE TO DREAM
speaks of
source force
energy-in-motion
and
communities that act
in unison
4- Day 2- HEART OF WATER
says
thoughts projecting inner reflecting
serve
to create NOW
5- By flooding our bodily waters
with Love and Gratitude
graceful waves will ripple
into all of creation
6- it's time to set an intention
Give thanks in advance
for its manifestation
while allowing
the Law of Attraction
to deliver this intended creation
with grace
7- in World Gratitude
we re-awaken to the power
of full-spectrum living
connected to
One Source
One Love
One Now
8- the light scattered pitter patter
of tiny drops of gentle misting rain
bless me
as i bless Fish River
here in my backyard
9- I saw the most beautiful
exquisite yellow wildflower
beside the raised walkway
on my way down here
to the river
10- I extend my blessing
for my Fish River's water
to all bodies
of water
with my Love and Gratitude
11- if I must be reborn again
i accept
my rebirth into
spiritual awareness
as my 2nd birth
12- [see Judith Pennington's sites @
http://www.eaglelife.com/
http://www.oneworldspirit.org/
http://www.thestillsmallvoice.org/]
if i borrow my friend
Judith Pennington's
language of brainwaves
i see Delta waves
for wee little ones
in utero and infancy
as in a state of pure being
oneness with Divine Consciousness
and Life
and unity with all creation
13- How can I make
unity with Divine Consciousness
and creation
the ground of my being
in my everyday life?
14- if Theta waves are
deep inner divine thoughts
and Alpha waves
pure flowing divine feelings
and Beta waves
divine logic
memory
and sensations
-how can I use this knowledge
to help create Heaven on Earth?
15- I am blessed to be
among spiritual people
reborn as children
of Light and Love in

of God's varied grace.
25- [from The Message Bible]
Be quick to give a meal to the hungry,
a bed to the homeless- cheerfully.

Be generous with the different things
God gave you, passing them around
so all get in on it.

26- [inspired by Unity's Daily Word]
Divine guidance
moves me to
new heights of
wisdom and success.
27- When I seek direction
for right thinking
or right action
I rely on Spirit
to show me the way.
28- I prepare to receive guidance
by gently sweeping away
any fear or doubt.
I imagine light
streaming down into my mind,
illuminating my thoughts,
sparking ideas
and inspiring me
to action.
29- My guidance comes
in various ways:
an understanding nudge
an inspired idea
a surprise encounter
or a powerful inner knowing.
30- Along with the awareness
of what to do
comes the ability to do it.
31- I take each next step
knowing divine guidance
leads me to new heights
of wisdom and success.
32- Send out your light and your truth;
let them lead me.
-Psalm 43:3

Give me your lantern and compass,
give me a map,
so I can find my way to the sacred mountain
to the place of your presence.
