Upon waking each day I thank God for awaking me to enjoy the beautiful day he has prepared for me. I say a prayer for the people of the world. I ask God for my duties for the day and my day begins. Before retiring at night I thank God for the beautiful day, ask him for forgiveness for anything that I may have said or done that was not of his will.
I think about everyday how lucky I am! I have been blessed with so much that I try everyday to be a positive force of happiness to all around me. I smile, hold my head up and make my day and those around me a positive one.
I notice the simple things-- I stop my car on the side of the road sometimes to just admire the gorgeous colors of the sunset, I talk to God alot, in prayer, in conversation. I ask him somewhat regularly, "to have a good day." I plan on asking him to come with me and my other friends to have a play date. I believe that the agenda will unfold, but it will be a day of fellowship, fun, prayers, food and fun. He will be our most honored guest.
I am trying to balance my life more. I have always worked hard. I have not always known how to play hard. I am working on that. I really don't want to come to the end of the road and have on my headstone marker--"I wish I could have worked more". :)
I am human. I read my Bible. I sing. I cry. I love. I laugh. I exercise. I "try" to eat right. I am striving to know my Lord much better now, so that when I get to heaven, we can just keep on going.
Balance is a gift. Living more simply is to me, truly abundant living.
And that is what I am doing-well, trying to do--live more simply--to nurture my mind, body and spirit.
When I nourish my spirit, I find that my mind and my body are in tune with my spirit. Nourishing my spirit is simple: prayer, awareness of nature and its beauty, kindness to every person regardless of how they treat me, and giving of myself to others who may need nourishing of their spirit. Daily reflection and self-examination provide a starting point.
Thank you,
