Hi ,

It's Wednesday, September 30,  2015.​​

Quote:
"Every morning when I wake, I promise myself that I can handle any obstacle the world decides to throw at me. I remind myself that I am strong, and I don't have to be PERFECT to love my family, my friends, myself and my life."
--- Lindsey Erin Murphy

Now onto the "little extra" for today:

Our Loving Source Wants To Help Us

Life's Loving Gifts

... An inner journey; accepting and calm
A quieted mind, a healing balm
Centered awareness; treasures shown
Timeless wisdom, we've always known
Smiles of joy, thanksgiving to above
Trusting in our true source of love ...

"Life has a wonderful way of guiding us along the highest path; one which serves our greatest good!"

I understand that some may have difficulty with such a claim, and yet, it has always proven true throughout my life's experiences. Yes, sometimes we may feel that all is in a state of disorder and that everything is stacked up against our efforts ... indeed, along my personal journey, I can divide my life into those events that have gone my way and those that seemed counter to my goals. So, where were the "loving gifts" in all of those challenges?

Dear friends,
There may be times when we feel anxious, all alone and lacking any true wisdom. Yet, when we choose to really look for these "gifts" we will then begin to realize what our higher selves are lovingly calling to our attention. It is helpful to raise our awareness above what may seem to be the constant "mental noise" generated by our daily challenges.

Yes, this may prove difficult, as many of us have been conditioned since birth to use only a small number of the many potential tools at our command. Yet, when we calmly enter into our place of inner wisdom to search out these gifts they will always be given, even during our darkest hours ... just the faith in that alone will help to bring them into our awareness ... in what seems like an instant!

Life's Gifts often come in many different disguises ...
