Life is peaceful on my patio. The flowers are in bloom in an abundant array of purples and golds, whites and reds, lavenders and pinks, all like happy little faces. It is a small corner of the world, but it looks out on infinity and is surrounded by life. Nature is soft and silent this morning and the sky is cloud laden in sections and blue laced in others.
In every direction is a different drama interconnected and the crows are taking flight. The day is still awakening and the scent of the soil is musky with dampness. It seems as if nature is alive with anticipation, as if awaiting the sun's warmth and a brightening of the new day so newly arrived.
The birds are beginning their morning chorus in greeting. How wonderful all life is, I have not made any plans for the day, but will let it evolve naturally. There is always much to do, but life has ceased to be a schedule revolving around time to be hurried through.
Life isn't a schedule but a glorious wonder, a birth, a joy, and yes an abundance. God thank you for the vision to see, the heart to feel, the time to feel serene and joyful, the soul to be at peace, the mind to seek and grown, and the wisdom to be grateful.
All things are a gift from God, even the experience of timelessness, to just be one with nature and experience the joy and abundance of being in the now.

In stillness
In stillness we know, and then we find. Only open your heart and your soul and feel the waves of love encompassing you. For God, our Father, and Mary, our Mother, always have open arms to embrace their children and enfold them in a wealth of love.
In the darkness, they shine their light brightening the whole world and all the souls of those who seek. God is the light and the life, in Him, we never walk in darkness or alone. His angles accompany us in our travels to guide and protect us. Even when we are unaware, they are there.
Oh guardian angel of God, so dear, be by my side and accompany me where on my travels along life's way. Protect me at night and through each day, always. Amen.

Filled with Love
When we meditate, we seek peace and harmony within ourselves and within the world. We ask God for blessings on the world and the universe, and in seeking these blessings we too are blessed.
We become less aware of time and more aware of the world we live in. The world takes on a richer color and a sense of serenity enters our soul and our hearts are filled with love.

Recognition
Joyful is the heart that is loved and loves. Be grateful for the blessing of love to be shared for then you are truly blessed. Take time to be thankful. Motherhood is a great gift and blessed is the mother who is remembered. These are gifts more valuable than money and possessions.
For those who have love are rich indeed with a priceless gift. We all, however, are blessed with the greatest gift of all, God's love. We are never without love when we have God in our lives and we are unaware His love is there awaiting our recognition.

Let Them Guide Us
Our journey here is one of enlightenment and joy. When we go within to the soul of ourselves we are reminded of this. Peace within and without is attainable, so is peace in this world. Feel at peace with all nature around you. Feel the lightness that is your true self.
Feel the connection to all that is around you, pray in and for peace. God hears, God knows, God answers. The world is timeless, as are we, existing in many lifetimes. The angels are our sentinels, messengers of hope and love. Let them guide us in building a world of peace.

Golden Light of Love
What we seek, we find. God answers our prayers, only have faith that He knows our needs and provides. His blessings are as the raindrops in plentitude. Give thanks to the Lord our God for through Him all good things come.
Nature knows this for truth and responds. The angels are very near and keep us in their loving care. They follow us through may lifetimes. The wisdom of God is more plentiful than the leaves on the trees.
Listen for God is speaking in the elements. Cleanse yourselves of all impurities, blow away any injustices from your hearts, make way for the golden light of love.
Open your hands and your hearts that you may receive. Be not blind to the messages of the Lord for He is in all things. Bend with the storms and bask in the sun. All things are gifts, recognize them as such, and give thanks.
Many are called, but few are chosen says the Lord. Be grateful, chosen one that you may see first hand the power and love of the Lord. Accept the will of God, He is your lifeline, your truth.
Do not be afraid to build your nest in the highest tree, for He will not let you fall. God cradles His children in His hands that hey may know comfort in the Lord.
Even as we are tossed and blown about in life He is our safety line to heaven. Simply hold on to the truths He has taught and find yourself safely on the shore.
Do not be driven away from God's truths, but seek the comfort of His eternal love. Precious child rest in the safety of the Father's love. Today seek rest and sanctuary and light and love.
Not all days are to reap and sow. Today is for the tranquility and preparation. All things have a season and place in the plans of God.
When He speaks, listen, quiet the mind that you may hear. Rest in the Lord, an inner peace is at hand. Gracious is the giver and blessed is the receiver.

Let the rains come
My inner self instantly and constantly takes on form as I awaken, molded by experience, ready to meet my needs and fill my desires, posed for action. This gift from above.
So, today it was almost as if I were sleeping or in a trance rather than meditation, almost transported. In God, we may rest our mind and be open to the messages of the Lord.
The rains are as of a cleansing of our world. A purification, for we must all seek to be purified of any anger, greed, selfishness, doubt, covetousness, vanity, and to open our heart and soul to the purity of the love of God.

Good fortune
Money is not my supply. No person, place or condition is my supply. My awareness, understanding, and knowledge of the all-providing activity of the Divine mind within me is my supply. My consciousness of this truth is unlimited, therefore my abundance is unlimited.
This is a time of renewal, but in order to be renewed we must put aside any grievances we have with others for only this way can we find peace within.
You cannot be at peace and continue to harbor resentments, release them as the clouds release the rain to be dispersed in the elements, blown away with the wind.
It is a new rebirth, so plant seeds of kindness, hope, love, charity, joy, and remove the weeds that would choke off the growth that is all good. Water them carefully with continued prayers for peace and watch them grow, and bud and bloom in glorious arrays of vivid color.
Tend your garden well. Keep the soil turned and mulched so that the nutrients of love can feed the soul lest the dirt harden into hate and bigotry.
Be on guard against infestation of intolerance and prejudice. Do not use the insecticides of greed and power, for that will poison all it touches. Speak with your plants in encouragement so that they may know of your great care.
Laugh and be merry so that they may spring up in joy. Smile upon then as the sun and they will open up to you. Do not leave it untended, for in no time it will be overgrown and the life will be choked out of it with neglect.
And when it is time to harvest you will reap abundance. Remember to invite your neighbors to the feast that you may share in your good fortune. That is love.

Peace and Love
I lift up my mind and heart to be aware, to understand, and to know that the divine presence within is the source of all, and that's good.
God said "I am the way". The way to peace, humility, love, understanding, appreciation, joy, compassion, prayer, and abundance. Did Jesus not bless the bread and the fish and fill the hunger of the needy with an abundance left over?
And so it is when you live your life in acknowledgement of this, and find the way, for there is only one path to follow, and that way is through peace and love.

As above, so below
God is lavish, unfailing abundance, the rich omnipresent substance of the universe. This all-providing source of infinite prosperity is as unique as this reality of me. So, may the peace of the Lord be with you, as it is with me.
May the peace, love, joy and abundance of the Lord go out to the world. I pray for the troubled souls who are unable to reach out to God for themselves. I pray for the children of the world who were brought up on anger and hate that they may know the love of the Lord and find self-love and peace.
For only if you love yourself are you able to love others and recognize that God is everywhere. For we truly are brothers and sisters in the Lord. I pray for the hungry of the soul, and the body, that they may find abundance in the Lord.
I pray for my right purpose in life. Lord lead me on the path of righteousness for your namesake. In gratitude, I thank you Lord for all the blessings you have bestowed on me and for opening my eyes to the gifts of each day's dawning.
I am grateful you have slowed my world so that I can move in abundance and appreciation of your wonder God. I am truly blessed.We are living in paradise because it is God's creation and that makes it one of the wonders of the universe.
Bless my flowers, Oh Lord, that they may continue to give sustenance to the birds. Bless the rain that nurtures them. Bless the sun that shines upon them. Bless the new growth that is a sign of new life and rejuvenation, especially during this time of the resurrection.
We are all renewed by God's loved which is given in abundance to rich and poor, dark and light, male and female, no matter what religion, or race, for God sees into our souls and hearts, and knows us only as His children.
Blessed be the name of the Lord. Open my eyes, Dear Lord, so I can better see, open my heart, Dear Lord, so I can better love. Fill my soul with Joy, Dear Lord, so I can better laugh. There is no night that day does not follow. There is no struggle without the serenity of peace if we seek it.
Do not be in such a hurry to rush through your life that you do not pause to enjoy the gifts and blessings God has bestowed upon all of us. Each feather, each leaf, each cat whisker, each seed, each raindrop, each breath, are all gifts from above.
As above, so below. Stop looking for the pot of gold and be grateful for the harvest of each new day, and be sure to thank the Lord.

Beautiful abundance
I keep my mind and thoughts off this world, placing my focus on God, dwelling within, as the cause of my prosperity. I acknowledge the inner presence as the only activity worth concentrating on, and let the abundance flow accordingly.
I ask the angels to intercede for me today as messengers of God. To help my prayers join in the unity of prayer that together creates a stronger force in the universe. I give thanks for all the many blessings God provides and in the beauty of all creation.
Let me be alive to every moment and each experience of every day. There is such wonder in all God's creation if we are but conscious to our environment. The simple overwhelming abundance in every cloud as it slowly moves through the sky. Some heavy and grey with rain, others stark white with the sun's reflection even though it itself is hidden from view.
The face of each flower unique in design and fragrant with perfume more splendid than any created by man. All a magnificent gift from God who has truly blessed the world.
The birds in flight coasting on the breeze and the leaves dancing and rustling their own soft background to the conversation of the birds as they bob with the moving branches. Oh, wonder is everywhere we look or listen.
Squirrels come out on the lawn to picnic and deer crash through the edges of civilization all sharing this same beautiful day as we. As the clouds part, the sky so blue shines through as an airplane with a smoke trail passes, echoing his flight as he is already gone, and my friend the hummingbird comes for his liquid lunch hanging from the eucalyptus tree and nervously makes eye contact as he makes his own rhythmic wind with his wings.
We two share the same outdoors and who is the visitor him or me? I am blessed with family and friends and thoughtfulness. I truly feel at peace right now. A sharing of man and nature, comingling.
The bushes are newly red leafed for spring, putting on their new colors. Cycles, seasons, each day brand new, a gift more lavish than any play or production put on by man, if we but pause and notice.
Stop the hurry and worry that seems to be the center of our lives. This here is life itself in a panoramic view. The hills snow covered, and the gullies filled with rushing waters, a product of the bountiful rain of late, causing nature to be green with new growth, new life. Beautiful abundance.

Hidden in the soul
Life, right now, is a blank canvas awaiting a possibility of new discovery. There are endless ideas to entertain. Each day is brand new, full of hopes and new dreams, endless vistas and buried desires to be made real, and full of forgotten memories.
There is a possibility to make fresh all the creative wonder buried deep inside through all the years of yearnings and aspirations. It is time to transform the drab day to day grind into a cornucopia of color and light, an inspiration of spirit with the angels to unlock all that has been hidden in the soul.
Let me be wise enough to embrace a second chance and make my dreams be fruitful. Give me the energy and capacity to throw open the doors of the mind and begin anew. God has blessed me with the gift of time to be bold, and grab the magic ring with the angels' guidance.
I feel as if I've been reborn to new life. Let me live it.

Rejoice
God is not in any particular place but exists in all places, and all things. He knows what is in your heart and provides not only the answers, but the questions we seek knowledge of. With Him peace reigns in our soul, love within our heart, joy within our spirit, and the knowledge of abundance is what the world's been blessed with. Rejoice.

For my dad
It's not by the gold in his pocket
that measures the wealth of a man
but the gentleness of his touch
as he says "I understand".
It's the love in his eyes
the warmth of his smile
and the openness within his heart
that makes others feel worthwhile.
It's the richness of friends that surround him
for of himself he's willing to give
it's love returned by those around him
wherever he happens to live.
Wealth is not just in a palace
for the richest of men
lives within the heart of others
whatever his home has been.
He can be the poorest of travelers
without a possession for others to see
but the goodness that is all around him
makes him a rich man to me.

Enough for today
There is no true comparison to any of us, we are all an original, and everything we do is successful if we choose to see it that way. I think success is in having a meaningful life, love, friends, a sense of peace, happiness, and so many other things that do not have a monetary value.
I think maybe success should be redefined to living up to our individual highest standards and values. I think I stand for my values and I am successful because I have inner happiness and a desire to continue to grow, learn and expand. To live in faith.
Enough thoughts for today!

Life is good
It's a beautiful morning and I feel blessed to have the time to enjoy my patio, to watch the hummingbird drink from the feeders I bought them and to notice the wonder of God everywhere and in everything.
To realize heavenly qualities are alive right here on earth, we only need to see the beauty around us and to feel it in our soul. I feel I am in the process of awakening to a new life. I don't know where the path will lead me, but I trust in the angels to follow where the creative energy is moving me.
I feel my soul is alive with more wonder and that there is a greater purpose to my existence now that I have allowed a greater power to change direction in my life.
Life makes sense again and I feel free. With the angels, we are free to adopt fresh perspectives and experience a new openness to explore all possibilities. The most creative thing we can ever do is to be fully alive in the here and now.
When we are fully mindful of the moment we are in full harmony with life, and it is beautiful. I have read that the two most inspiring elements are personal freedom and spiritual integrity. For freedom, when cultivated, allows us to be ourselves, and integrity is being true to ourselves.
We came into this life to be ourselves and the sooner we are true to ourselves, the sooner we will accomplish and enjoy our true purpose. I've found the blocks that we impeding my creative spirit existed only in my mind.
This mindset I had about work and the necessity of being there were consuming all possibility of purpose and was weighing me down. Once I made the conscious choice to leave the decision up to God I feel as though I've come out of the darkness and into the light and I can honestly say it changed my life.
Now it is time to look within for answers for they are inside waiting to be discovered. With the angels' help, I know I will find my answers. They have very creative ways of guiding us and they know the secrets of our soul.
They will be with me each step of this new journey in my life. They have not only give me a gratitude for God's blessings, but a deeper experience of the here-and-now reality. One thing that has really helped me in changing my attitude is keeping a gratitude journal.
Each day I write at least one thing I am grateful for that day, even if it's as mundane as a good night's sleep, or a hot cup of coffee to start my day.
If we do this each day we start looking for the positives and the negatives have less importance. It's 8:20 in the morning, and so far today, I am grateful to be up early to enjoy the day, to be outside for my morning coffee, and to hear the birds singing and the joy it brings to my heart. Yes, life is good.

Share the Gifts
God loves you as one of His children and does not a father provide for his children with love, the necessities and more? Be grateful to God your loving Father and harbor no doubts in your mind for He has provided a table before you and shelters you in His care.
He has sent the sun to shine upon your and His angels as messengers of hope. We need to listen more and believe in the truths already spoken. We need to share our love and the promises in belief. For to share is to love.
Give joyfull in love with open heart. Live in love and peace with your neighbors, offer help when you see need. Always take time for prayer and meditation for it is nourishment for your soul.
Open your hearts to the Lord for you are blessed. Do not bring troubles to your table or bed for there is no rest or faith in that.
Look to each new day as the gift that it is, the blessing freely given and know that in abundance you receive all as a gift from God, your Father.

Give joyfull in love with open heart. Live in love and peace with your neighbors, offer help when you see need. Always take time for prayer and meditation for it is nourishment for your soul.
Open your hearts to the Lord for you are blessed. Do not bring troubles to your table or bed for there is no rest or faith in that.
Look to each new day as the gift that it is, the blessing freely given and know that in abundance you receive all as a gift from God, your Father.

Be as a bird
God has promised He will care for us in radiant abundance, even as He does all of natured. The birds believe, that is why their song is always joyful and their needs provided for. Be as the birds in joyful praise for today and everyday your needs are met.

See the gifts
There is no want unless we make it so. There is a vista of abundance before our eyes in whatever direction we look. These are the gifts of God, yet we fail to see them.
May will be in continous need unless he opens his eyes to what is around him. blessings of abundance for all God creatures. For, if God supplies all of nature in abundance does mant think God loves him less?
He even gives man angels to watch over him day and night. It is man's vision of lack that limits the supply. Man's feeling that he himself is the supply, then blames the lack on others, or circumstances, or misfortune, when all he has to do is open his heart and his soul to God, the supplier of all.

Let love rule
Yesterday I saw a fish skeleton in the shape of Jesus on the cross and was awed that God gives us such reminders of His great love in our everyday lives through creation itself. Bless His wonders we behold.
Sometimes we become blind to the wonders around us and have to get away from our routine and out of our everyday selves to discover again who we are, what are our goals, so we can continue on our path.
It is but a pause, a breath that refreshes us. We so often get caught up in daily life that we forget the importance of the pauses in life. The angels are here to remind us. As children, all life was a discovery of wonder, but as we mature it seems we put on blinders to life, we forget to take time in the name of obligations, and so it passes us by and we wonder "what happened", "where did it go?".
Life is what happened while we were too busy to know. That is why the pauses are so very important. They put us back on track, open our eyes and hearts to the world around us.
We need to turn off some of the world news in favor of today's life. To be more aware of cause and effect. To be less depressed by global events, to focus on the daily "what can I do to make a difference?" thinking.
If each of us lives attempting to do some small good, this would, in turn, have a global effect. If we each lived in peace, then peace would be achieved, if we each shared, then abundance would abound. If we each loved unconditionally all our brothers and sisters, then loved would rule the world.
Hatred cannot exist if we all love. Hunger cannot exist if we all share. There can be no doubts if we all have faith and peace and joy would abound. We say this is impossible and so we don't try. Se we have to start with "me". Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.

Make the leap
We are full of worry regarding our security and way of life. We compensate this with a growing sense of guilt, and a feeling of lack with things that do not bring us true happiness, but some strange temporary of elation over the possession of material things.
We come home tired and unfulfilled from our jobs and do not take time to enjoy the beauty of the world around us. We have a sense of futility and frustration and are not at peace within ourselves. This isn't living, for we've lost ourselves and our true purpose.
We need to cast our fear aside in order to see this, to appreciate that time we have and not let it races by. If we don,t we will continue racing around in circles with no end in sight. It takes a leap of faith to let go and get ourselves off the treadmill. We must make this leap, or life will be gone, and we will have missed it.

Clearly Now
Our home and our life are interconnected with God from whom all things come. May the angels guide you and lead you into peace and restfulness. They will bring you the truth and show you the light. They will reawaken your eyes so that you may see clearly all that your soul already has knowledge of.

Embers
Look at me! Look at me!
this thing you fear most
my love.... for you is pure
not soiled, or tainted,
or shabby in some way
else it would not endure
without the fire here
the embers still burn
on their own.... they still glow
look at me!
this rapture in my heart
will continue.... this I know

swinging with the wind

Each Day
I am grateful to the abundance that is God. I am grateful for the gifts He endlessly bestows. He is the creator of all that is seen and unseen. He sends us angels to guide and protect us and to enlighten us. Listen, He is speaking in the gentle breeze, in the language of the birds, in the cornacopia of color, in the sun and the clouds.
In the beauty all around us has He showered us with abundance in rich array. God gives us everything and more. We are rich indeed, and God is the all supplier. He moves as subtly as a cloud across the sky and says to us do not race through time, but make time for God and His gifts and he will but shower you with the abundance of all life. It is here, it is now, it is today, and each day after.

Feeding lost love
Love needs nothing else to feed on
it nourishes itself on broken hearts
grows strong on lost souls too
until there was no me and you
no wondering what went wrong
or why we drifted so far apart

Our Reunion
My words and deeds are coming to an end. A past folded up and put away. This my pause, before passing into other realms, new explorations, old faces waiting for our reunion.

Keep Holy the Day
Praise the day and keep it holy. Think only kind and loving thoughts for this is the Lord's day. Remember to give Him praise. Take time to share His glory in prayer and communion with others. Set aside this day for special remembrances and prayer for others as well as gratitude for all the blessings in your life.
Make this not a day of work, but of rest, and joyfulness. Seek the Divine in all you do this day. Love one another. God gave you life. He gives you guidance. The angels are commanded to watch over you thus He keeps you in His care.
The feathers are to remind you that the angels are around you, and to assist you in your needs they speak with you in that still small voice within. Even when the path is rocky, it is but a time of learning and growth, not a sign of abandonment.
For the Lord, who loves you unconditionally, would never desert you. Be at peace. Ask Him to help you with your burdens and include Him in your joy. For this is the grace He sends into your life.
Keep family in your heart and mind. For they were chosen by you to be a part of this life's journey. This is a time of peace and new purpose in your life. Be open that you may know and have faith that you will be shown the way.
Each day is a gift to be savored. To see it fully, to be in awareness is to know God. For He is within all that exists. Each flower, each leaf, the expanse of the sky, the sound of the surf are miracles created by Divine will.
To be one with nature is to be one with God. God cares for all of his handiwork and there is spirit in all that exists. let your inner self speak to the universe, hug a tree, spend time with the stars in the night sky, walk a country road or along the sand with the water kissing your feet and you will know of God. S/He exists everywhere.

Live in God's Light
Dear God, help me to be like Ste. Therese and to seek the simple truth which is your love. The love you have for us is greater than any earthly love possible. I am never alone as I have you in my life at all times.
Wherever I look I see a manifestation of your love and I hear it in the bird's song. With you, as an example, we learn to give more love that others may share in knowing you we try to bring your light to others.
To be a reflection of your generosity. Help me to touch others with my smile, with a warm heart. I thank you for teaching me. For learning to rely on you for my needs has taught me a greater humility and faith.
What I cannot do, you do for me. What I cannot accomplish alone I ask for you help and guidance. The simple life is a blessing indeed and we learn to be grateful for what we have instead of looking for what we do not possess.
For I possess the greatest of all things, the unconditional love of a Father for His child. You have never turned from me even in my darkest hour. You have seen me through many dark days and taught me to look for the blessings in each one.
That when we look closely we find the joy. How much that outlook has changed my life others may not fully comprehend. But a gratitude attitude is the biggest life changing way of being we can accomplish.
And when we learn to be more grateful, we learn also to be more generous with others that they too may know the wonders of gratitude and pass it on. Thus we see an increasing awareness and love in the world around us.
Life is not changed so much by big events but by the little day to day evolution of being more loving. Of a revelation of God's presence in our everyday. How blessed is life lived in your light instead of in shadow.

Humility is God's Blessing
I think it is better not to seek fame for fame's sake. If we achieve it not for ourselves but as a tool, God uses to help others and spread His world we must accept the notoriety, but that is not who we are. Do not let the ego get in the way of your work.
Do not lose perspective about self. It is better to walk in the little way remembering we are but a small part of all that is. When the ego foreshadows the fact that all we have, all we do, all we are, are gifts from the Divine, then we have lost our way.
I thank you God for the experiences that have humbled my life and brought me closer to you. I am grateful to start my day and end my day with you. I can't imagine feeling too impatient to seek you out first.
To realize I am blessed with family and friends that show great love and keep me in their heart and that also in their heart is you, Oh Lord. What great company that is to share their heart.
Everything I see is an example of your love. I thank you for the gift of school and learning. I know that there is a purpose at the end of this road for you sent it into my life. Even if I cannot see where it is taking me, I have faith that you will show me the way.
It is better that I be unknown that your work may speak through me than to be famous for what "I" do and lose sight of you. This too is your gift and blessing. Thank you, God.
I would rather have peace in my garden than to be lost in a palace of opulence. I would rather walk the beach with a true friend than have strangers seek me out for what I do and not who I am.
It is better to be humble and happy than rich and righteous. Thank you for opening my eyes and seeing the truths that you show me. Thank you for the awareness that helps me see the beauty in all things.

Let it be so
May our hearts be lost to love that it may pump out joyfully to the world. Oh, let it be so, that we may reach out with heartful love to everyone we meet that they may know that they are truly loved. Oh, let it be so, for there is no violence, or greed, or hatred, or fear in love.

Teach Me, Oh Lord
So many things come up to test our faith, and yet, why do we need to test the Divine who is always with us? He who has provided for us and shows us the way. We only need ask and we receive. So why do we first encounter fear and doubt?
There is no need to fear! We are tested to strengthen our faith and to learn to turn to God as the supplier of our abundance, the giver of our strength, and for the love in which we find peace.
All things human can be taken from us, our wealth, our health, those that we love, material possessions. But the one thing constant in our lives is the great love of our Heavenly Father, our Mother Mary, and their Son Jesus.
That love never wavers. Therefore we are never alone in our tribulations. And when we ask and seek, they embrace us in that love.They want us to teach others how much they love us. That we are never alone. And they shower us with their blessings.
We have been supplied the beauty of the world and yet we are careless in our appreciation. We must learn to hold dear the gifts of God. We must learn to respect others as His children, as well, for we come in a variety of shapes and color.
Thus He teaches us through humility to strengthen our faith that we may greater know. When life is too easy we tend to forget where our true source is. Let me not forget, Oh Lord, for without you I am as if nothing.
Let me be humble in your sight. Let me seek the privilege of your grace. Grant me your guidance in this life and the peace of knowing your love. When I have doubts let me turn to you as the source that will heal me.
When I worry let me be assured that you will provide for me. Let me share that bounty with others, that, they too, know of your love.

Synchronicity in today's world
To learn more about synchronicity is to be aware of God's hand in our lives. For what comes into our lives just when we need it is surely sent by God. It may be a message, a person, a book, or a life changing event. Things happen for a reason, and through synchronicity, we learn a greater purpose in life.
We learn to look for the messages, to be open and aware. We allow ourselves to be guided and as we do, the occurrence of synchronistic events increases, until it becomes a part of our daily lives. We no longer think in terms of "what a coincidence", but instead, ask "what is the message?" and respond to it accordingly.
It leads us on paths we might not have anticipated we would travel. Synchronicity opens up the wonder of greater possibilities. Knowing they are not random helps us to reaccess the way we live and what we believe.
We look at people differently for they may be a messenger or a teacher that contribute to our growth. What we need is supplied in ordinary and extraordinary ways. Life itself becomes more exciting as we open up to the changes, in ourselves and our lives, that synchronicity brings.
New doors open with increasing frequency and we find ourselves on a spiritual journey. The whole world takes on a different face because we are more aware. Nothing goes unnoticed, including the small inner voice within, which is Divine guidance.
Listen and you shall hear. Seek and you shall find. Be open to receive and the messages will come to you. There is a greater increase in synchronicity than has ever existed before.
Right here and right how. Wherever we look we can find God speaking through whatever format is available. He is reaching out. We need but be ready when synchronicity calls for there is a message and it is for us.
