"Praise and Blessing"

"We know that we will not always be
happy, but by praising and blessing
life as it appears, we have access to
the deep, fundamental joy and
creativity that is the essence of Spirit."
-Linda McNamar

One of the ways that blocks our good
from coming to us is resistance. We
don't want change or we want what
we are experiencing to be different.

Fighting change or what is going on
in our lives only brings suffering.
This suffering is needless, and in
the long run, only causes our
unhappiness and dissatisfaction.

A better way is to find something to
praise and bless in our
circumstances as they appear.

This may bring a new perspective,
and it will bring peace and joy,
because, as our quote states, we
then have access to the essence
of Spirit.

Scripture states, "give thanks 'in'
all things", not necessarily 'for' all
things.

Perhaps there is something going
on in your life that you need a new
perspective on. Praise and bless
it, and see if this doesn't end up
changing things for you.

Let Us Pray:
Sweet Holy Spirit, we go within
and connect with You. We give
thanks for You opening our eyes
to see as we give praise and
blessing to our experiences of
life. Thank You. Amen.

We give praise and blessing to
our birth mothers and to all of
those people who have nurtured
us on our journey.

Peace, Love, and Joy,
Sandy
