A Thanksgiving Message
I asked this morning for a message for us all about Thanksgiving. This is what I received. Blessings – today and every day.
Dear one, blessed one. On this day of great thanks, allow your body to truly absorb love. To take in around you the beauty of all you see. To feel and know that all is well.
Dear one there need not be a single day that encompasses gratitude. It is indeed a daily, an hourly occurrence. Thanksgiving is merely a time when man decides to focus in, but too often, what occurs is negativity. Too much. Excess.
Dear one, when man can see daily all that surrounds him; when he can look into the face of an infant and see the magnitude of this creation; when he can look at another who is in this moment causing a negative response and find love in his heart; when he can side step a situation instead of engaging… all of this will lead to peace; will lead to understanding; will lead to immenseness.
Dear one, centered in gratitude, man can feel the enormity of this lifetime; can see clearly the joy, the light. Rooted in gratitude, he cannot feel hatred. Cannot feel discouragement. Cannot feel remorsefulness. Rooted in gratitude, man can only be in a place of love.
Dear one, on this day, it is fine to celebrate. It is fine to come together and remind one another of the love that is there. This is well and this is good. But to take from this day the goodness; take from this day the gifts – to bring that into daily life, ah, that is the glory. That is the preciousness.
(Spirit – how do we react to the situation in India? The terrorist attacks? Why do these things occur?)
Dear one, man has free choice, always and always. That is the beauty of this life experience. Man decides. It is not a time to feel despair. It is not a time to repel. It is merely a time to note that in this world, there are those who feel disenfranchised. There are those who are feeling pain. There are those whose hearts are hardened. They do not need anger and pity heaped upon them. What is needed is love – directed to them; directed to this region; directed to one another.
Dear one, what cannot occur is more anger; more hostility; more despair. More hatred. What cannot occur is more anger fueled by revenge. What is desired is to come to an understanding that a shift must begin in the hearts and minds of each one present in this time and space. Love conquers all. This is not just a pretty phrase; a hollow phrase. This is truth. Love conquers all. It bears repeating.
Sweet one, with love in your hearts, much can be obtained. But it takes the many, not the few. It takes each and everyone in any given situation taking the higher road; reaching past anger; reaching past hatred in the smallest of encounters… to get to a place of love. When this happens on this smallest of scales, it will be reflected on the largest.
(How do we do this? Make this shift?)
Dear one, it begins by believing it is so. It begins by believing that what is needed is love. In any situation. Any and all. That is not to say that man will never stumble. It is to say that if the overriding reaction is truth; if the overriding reaction is love, then ultimately that will permeate the energy of the collective whole, do you see?
Where one or more is gathered… that is the basis for change.
Dear one, take into this day a commitment to ask daily for love to be the overpowering choice. Ask daily to find in your heart kindness and strength. Ask daily how you can best be of service on this earth plane. Seek inside yourself a better way of being – to yourself, to your neighbor, to our loved one.
Dear one, it is simple, is it not? Once man realizes the enormity of his power, once he sees that with love at the basis of his operation, all will change. All will shift. All is possible.
Amen and amen. Glorious, glorious day.
