I am reminded this morning that my prayer, bless me and keep me, is not asking, it is thanking. God does bless me and keep me...it is my remembering that is at fault. The key is to live in that fact, then we cannot forget. It is when we slide over into our ego-world that we forget God and become the Source...of all our woes.
We are the source of all our woes the instant we forget that God, the source of all our joy, lives within us. We stay the source of all our woes only as long as we forget that we are God's channel...to happy, joyous and free.
Remembering that means we need to discipline our minds...every time it slides over into ego wants, bring it back to "Thank You" which encompasses all, everything we have or don't have, want or don't want. Thank You, in effect, gives God's gift to us of free will back to God to do with us and build of us as He chooses.
The single most important thing we can do...daily...is to remember that. Kiss it on the lips. Embrace it. Roll around on the rug with it. Skip, dance, sing and shout...make a joyful noise unto the Lord. In other words, get grateful.
Thank You.
