Want To Feel Hope & Joy Again?

ARE YOU SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED?  WANT TO FEEL HOPE AND JOY AGAIN?

Sometimes what we think are our problems are not the problem.  WE are the problem.  It isn’t the actual lack of money, lack of love or lack of being able to stick to our diets.  It is our thinking;  Our God-shaped hole that is wanting to be filled up.  The only way to fill that hole is by giving to others.  Appreciation and gratitude are the KEY to life.  We must give that which we are seeking.  THAT IS THE KEY TO LIFE.  WOW!

What an epiphany.  Today I saw and understood.  I don’t have a money problem.  I have an attitude problem.  God is teaching me humility. 

It was not easy for me not to have money and allow my friends to help me.  And, since I was completely out of money, I needed to accept their help and learn to do it graciously.  And then strangers began to help me.  That was extremely humbling.

I began to see that I was wealthy beyond measure even though I was presently without money. It started with me being present and noticing all that I did have.  I needed to be grateful for what was, instead of focusing what I didn’t have (i.e. acceptance). It started with me being grateful for the birds in the trees, the bees, the lizards, the life all around me.  I must fully grasp and exhibit gratitude.  I am so rich.  I am blessed and highly favored.  I have a roof over my head.  I have healthy animals that love me.  I have family and friends that support me endlessly.  I am rich beyond measure.  People love me.  What a gift!  I have all that I need all of the time.  Thank you, God.  Every day, in every way, I’m getting better, better and better!

My life is blessed beyond measure. 

When we feel depleted and filled with lack, we need to stop and see what we do have.  We have much more than we realize.  Our first instinct is to go buy something new to do what we need to do.  However, if we stop and pray and thank God for what we have already, we will see miracles.  I recently was out of toothpaste and I did not have $5 to buy more.  I prayed about it and went to my bathroom closet and looked through my extra makeup bags for travel and found a full tube of toothpaste.  It wasn’t my current favorite, but it was what I needed in the moment showing me that once again, I have all that I need.  I am blessed and highly favored.
