All That Is
I find life and love in all that is. I am aware of the presence of God in all things. Each tiny part of the Universe is actually an expression of love. I raise my thoughts beyond the limits of my beliefs and convictions to open myself to the magic, the simplicity and the beauty of all that is. I marvel at this splendor, which in reality is part of me.
What exactly does this mean. I find life and love in all that is. Simple whether the circumstance is positive or negative, there is life and love to be found in it. We all realize how to find life and love in the positive aspects of life but how on earth do you find this in a negative situation? A few years back (which seems like an eternity now) I was devastated when my marriage fell apart and the circumstances around the break up. It dragged me down into depths that I had never been to before. I swore I could not survive and my life was over. Then, magically, one day, I woke up and realized that in order for me to move on with my spirituality, I could no longer remain in the abusive situation I was in. His leaving was my angel's way of giving me a kick in the perverbial butt and move on. So a negative situation in my life, has turned out to be a blessing in the end. I love life now and I love my ex for the situation that he put me in as I learned so many lessons from him. I learned how to forgive, I learned how to love again, truly love, I learned how to love myself.
My angels are with me now through all of my trials, tribulations and all the fantastic wonderful events too. They are a part of my life. God has never left me, God has never let me down, He just stood back while I learned these new lessons that were going to be such a big part of who I am now. I am aware of the presence of God in all things. God is there when I laugh, live, love, cry, get angry, whatever the emotion. God never leaves my side.
I have come to appreciate all in life, even the simplest little thing. When a bud appears on a flower, even if it was a bush that should have had hundreds of flowers and only one appears, I know that one flower will be the most beautiful flower to look at and it needed to be alone on the bush for me to appreciate it's true beauty. I know when I see a fire fly I am being blessed with the lights of the fairies. I know when I see the proud eagle sitting in the tree down the road, that God's love and power are here, now.
When you learn to appreciate something tiny, something really insignificant to others, you will learn to appreciate all that surrounds you. Suddenly your world will open up and there will be so many miracles to enjoy in your life.
Every morning, thank God for the many blessings he has bestowed on you. I thank Him that I am able to get out of bed, I thank Him for my family and their safety and health, I thank Him for the fact that I have two eyes, ten fingers, ten toes. These are the simple blessings, these are the simple things in life that will expand and grow into so much more.
Life is a miracle and we must all find life and love in all that is.
Namaste, Sheri
