APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE:

In these times of economic uncertainty and change where the media is reporting doom and gloom on every front, it is time to look at what is happening around us in another way.

How about considering the idea that we are in a time of transformation that will spur new and remarkable solutions to many of our current challenges. Struggle often nudges growth and creativity to shift how we are currently living our life. Remember that every day, every moment we are helping to create our destiny. Let’s CREATE the life we were meant to live – increasing our positive intentions, embracing all emotions and expressing them as we need to and experiencing an increased sense of joy.

Prayer is so important in our daily life to connect with a power higher than ourselves, and to give us strength and courage to meet the challenges of today and the future.

Let us appreciate all of our blessings, starting with a Prayer of Gratitude…

Dear Lord, thank you for the many blessings that You have given us; our loving family and good health, our abilities and gifts, food and shelter, and the beautiful world we live in. May we always be grateful and remember to show our love to each other and to YOU. Thank you Lord for Your constant, unconditional love and support. Amen.
