Through My Faith in My Higher Power, I View a World of wonder

My faith is in My Higher Power not in appearances. So rather than becoming caught up in facts about what is or is not true, I focus on the spiritual connection I have with My Higher Power and let Him show me what is true for me.

I Will believe it when I see it, yet I know from my own personal experiences that I have been able to perceive something extraordinary only because I first had the faith to believe it.

No matter how little or how much faith I have, it is enough to enable me to perceive the miracle of life all around me. I live in a world of wonder and joy, a gift from My Higher Power that I share with every person. Through my faith, I can see the magnificent world that is my home, the home of His family.

  I make room in my heart for my whole being. I forgive myself for any false judgments I held against myself. Grateful for remembering who I really am, I rest my mind in the deep still waters of infinite peace.

The Gift of Our Children is Unconditional Love and Acceptance

We love our children and want what is best for them, not because of anything they have done, but because they are miracles of life. Their very existence makes them worthy of the best that we can provide.

Perhaps even more amazing is the unconditional love our children give to us. We may not be the best of parents in every moment of life, but we are doing the best we can.

As beloved children, we are all worthy of unconditional love and acceptance. No matter what our backgrounds or experiences, we are worthy of being treated with dignity and reverence. Though we are unique individuals, we are also united by His grace, which is a gift to all.

Has Morning Come? — Daniel Gottlieb

Has Morning Come?

An old Hasidic rabbi asked his pupils how to tell when night ended and the morning began (which is the time for certain holy prayers).

“Is it when you see an animal in the distance and know whether it’s a sheep or a dog?” asked one pupil.

“No,” the rabbi answered.

“Is it when you can look at a tree and can tell whether it’s a fig tree or a pear tree?” asked another.

“No,” the rabbi answered again.

After a few more tries, the pupils asked, “Then tell us, what is it?”

“It is when you can look on the face of any man or woman and know that they are your sister or brother. Until then it is still night.”

— Daniel Gottlieb,
taken from Learning From the Heart.

Is it still night at your house? Or has morning come?

May you always recognize the true identity of those around you.
