As suggested by Sarah Ban Breathnac in her wonderful 1995 book, "Simple Abundance" today I am praying for strength, grace and wisdom.
As I was writing in my journal at 3:00am this morning when I couldn't sleep it occurred to me that sometimes I feel as if I am living the "wrong" life or I am in a dream life awaiting to awaken to my "real" life. After pondering that train of thought for a while, I decided to try to get back to sleep by reading. I picked Sarah's book off the shelf and turned to December 1st which is entitled "Charmed Lives."
The Universe will always provide an answer to my questions and if I stay aware, I will realize the gift of guidance when it comes. The answer I received to "why is my life not what I want it to be" was that I need to focus on strength, grace and wisdom because those are the tools I need to live the life that I am given. I knew when I started to read the December 1st entry in Sarah's book that God was talking directly to ME! As Jeff Foxworthy loves to say, "here's your sign!"
I know I am responsible for my own happiness. I know I am am responsible for my own wellness. I know I am responsible for my life and all that is in it. When I accept that truth, I realize and accept that only I have the POWER to change my life if it's not exactly what I want it to. Right behind that realization came the "little voice that whispers in my soul's ear" remind me about GRATITUDE. When I hear that little voice, I am humbled and remember to be grateful for ALL I have in my life because I know it IS a "charmed" life in its own beautiful way and it is the right life for me and my path.
I pray for the strength to do what needs to be done; the wisdom to embrace my life and all that is in it; and the grace to be grateful for the abundance, love and health that I have in my own charmed life even when I don't feel I am living the "right" life or that the "dream" is not as I would like for it to be. There is ALWAYS tomorrow and I, like the little bird, feel the sun and sing although the dawn be dark. But TODAY, RIGHT NOW is what I have and with strength, grace and wisdom I will make the most of this day and greet it with a smile on my face and love in my heart.
I expect a miracle today and I will NOT discount it when it comes my way, as I know it will if I only open my eyes to see it and open my heart, mind and soul to receive it. EXPECT YOUR OWN MIRACLE TODAY and may you always have STRENGTH, GRACE AND WISDOM in your life.
Namaste!
