So Thankful!

As my daily awareness of God's love and presence increases, I am thankful beyond any mere words. I know how much we are loved and how precious our lives are. The joy of the presence of holiness is beyond human expectations. So many of us have forgotten who we really are. This is so sad. We become immersed in matter and forget that we are spirit temporarily using a material form. Isn't this just like Madonna's song, "I am just a material girl living a material life"?

One morning, I suddenly woke up to another reality, a reality that is true, loving, compassionate, wise, understanding, unlimited and forgiving. Each new day I rediscover who I am and the infinite possibilities that are waiting for all of us to embrace and use.
I believe that we are all one glorious energy, meaning we are like luminous sparks of light projecting from the one Great Light, our true Father and Mother Creator. It is up to us to remember and rekindle the spark and light the way. I love nature. She provides everything. When this overwhelmming attitude of gratefulness sweeps through our minds and hearts, we embrace all of nature, every form She takes.

Yes, I felt and began to look like an entirely different person. It all happened around this time period of the year. It felt as if a powerful yet loving force had entered my energy, an energy that was far wiser than my personality and behavior. My husband said, "You are a different person". I had not told him or anyone else about my being unconscious for an hour or the emergency physical problem and the subsequent healing. I had kept it all secret and decided to do the same with the differences I could feel in my mind and energy.

Having felt God's love for the first time in my life, the feeling was overwhelming. Although I had been raised a Lutheran, I knew nothing about the man Jesus. Because a healing power remained with me, I began to search for answers about the meaning of life and our purpose here on earth. I wanted to understand everything that I could about the soul and the spirit and whether there was a difference and why we had them as part of our make-up. Everything changed for me, not only a healed body.
