Reasons To Celebrate

"For everything that lives is holy; life delights in life"

This morning as I listen to the birds show their happiness at the arrival of Spring...I enjoy the promise that Jesus made. A promise of renewal...over and over again until we get it right. The promise of God's love prevailing over everything...All we have to do is believe and follow. How simple. How comforting.

Sometimes what we pray for and think we must have is not what we get in life. There are times that we must accept what life is like right where we are and know that the adventure is continuing to unfold. Spirit knows the way when we do not...our Soul sees over the horizon when we can only see the circumstances surrounding us in a given moment. If we hold only negative, small thoughts about what is happening we block the light and guidance that Spirit constantly offers us if we only look inside.

Today my husband and I go to mediation on our house. The house where last Sunday 50 of my family and friends celebrated Easter with brunch. The house jumped to life with the sounds of ten happy children running up the stairs and through the halls. Old pictures from slides brought to life by a cousin who died this weekend was the entertainment and focus of prayer. The picture showed the history of the Smith family of eight now all grown up with children and grandchildren.

Spirit shows me and history proves that all things change and sometimes we must let go for a greater good to come about. So this morning before meeting with lawyers at the courthouse. I give thanks for the ability to dream up and build and live in this beautiful home. It has been a refuge and a place for celebrations and has housed the people that I love the most, for an hours chat or an over night stay. I welcome what comes next because I know that Spirit conspires to lifting me up if I do not block the flow of good coming to me with thoughts of doom.

Lord, I ask that you allow me to feel you supporting Bob and I today. I ask that you change any thoughts that are blocking me from feeling your complete and total love today. Please walk in before me and hold me up...I know that I can do all things through you, Amen
