Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is an interesting Holiday, it's history associated with all manner of things from principally Pilgrims giving thanks to God, to Indian massacres, to the Union victory at Gettysburg in the Civil War. Today the thanks given for most seemingly is for days off work for some, time and a half for others, football, ditching the diet and workout routine for consuming far too much food, family hopefully, friends, and early bird Black Friday sales, that nap after dinner finished off of course with pumpkin or pecan pie.

But find today as well a few minutes for quiet contemplation, giving thanks for the spiritual lessons learned, and the people who have touched you this past year, for the Love freely given and received. Give thanks for the new person you are becoming, your unfoldment in Spirit an ongoing process, testifying to your daily growth as a child of the light, free of the adversary fear. And have seconds of that pie, I mean, it is Thanksgiving, Right?

What Lies Behind The Clouds?

When things are going well there is a natural tendency to slack off a touch in our spiritual work. The sun is shining, the clouds decorating a peaceful sky, perfect for watching lying on a soft bed of grass, peace immanent. Life is good. Though we enjoy these times we must remain wary of complacency. Like the athlete who trains daily for occasional competitions, we pray and meditate daily to keep our connection to the Divine fresh and open for the inevitable storms that come to every life. Living on the Spiritual Basis we now understand the rain falls on the just and the unjust equally, it is not punishment, but opportunities to grow beyond limitation. Living on the new basis, the Spiritual Basis, today when a storm comes we gently step back into the shelter of Spiritual Truth, out of the wind and rain, continuing to pray and meditate until the storm passes and peace returns. Having embraced eternity we now understand the truth of being, that behind every cloud, the sun still shines and every storm an opportunity to demonstrate faith and trust in a Power Greater Than Ourselves.
