A New Holiday: ThanksLIVING

What would happen in your life if you lived every moment in gratitude, giving thanks for the wonder that is life?
What if you could actually see the divine spark inside every living creabeing – including the humans?
Would you think before cutting someone down and find the lessons in the knowing?
Would you stop yourself speaking words of war and instead become a living peace sign?
Would you be in such a place of glorious gratitude that you said a kind word to the family member who always did something of which you disapprove?
Would you stop yourself from mentally criticizing another find the good in that divine spark of divinity?
Would you begin a journey that day by day took you a step closer to uplifting every person you meet?
Would each moment of gratitude cause you to be kind to the person you are hardest on in all the world – yourself?
And would each single precious brilliant moment of gratitude you feel from the depth of your soul change your life forever?
Storytelling is at the heart of all experience. What happens to you in your life is not the events; what happens to you is the story you tell yourself about what happens.
Tell yourself a new story in which every moment is joyful, heartfelt gratitude and begin a minute – an hour – a day – a month – a season – a year – a
lifetime of ThanksLIVING.
Amen.
