This morning I saw a heartwarming human interest story on the news. It was about a refugee African family who had just arrived in San Diego, rescued by a group of volunteers. The father said that they all felt as if they had just been flown to Heaven. They are overwhelmingly GRATEFUL to be here!
I wondered how our American lives must look like through the eyes of these people. I was born in Southern California! I don’t know what it’s like to be too hot or too cold, much less to live amidst violent strife in my country. I am healthy and alive. I have a roof over my head and loved ones around me. I have a computer and a working car.
I was considered to be a struggling single mom, yet my daughter had medical attention, a good education and grew up knowing that she could do and be anything she wanted to! In fact she is in law school now.
Prosperity is relative, isn’t it? Maybe Heaven is relative too. It has been written that the Kingdom of God is at hand. I think that might mean that Heaven is RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW! We just have to open to see it!
Appreciation is a basic concept in accounting. Something that has been appreciated is given more value then it had before! In the same way, gratitude expands the good in our lives.
Isn’t it great to have a special day just for giving thanks? In truth, the Law of Attraction is active every other day of the year too! Think about the things in your life that you want to expand, and be thankful for what you have now!
Energize your gratitude with action! Think of someone who has helped you or that you are thankful to have in your life. Send them a note or make a phone call. Let them know that you appreciate them. Do this at least five times. Pay attention to how good you feel and how that feeling expands.
I am pleased to express my appreciation for all of my wonderful clients and readers. It is you who make all the difference for me! (There, I just thanked hundreds of people and I feel great!)
THANK YOU!!!!
