Being able to respond with kindness is a gift.
Being able to respond with forgiveness is a gift.
Being able to respond with generosity is a gift.
Being able to respond with clarity is a gift.
Being able to respond with willingness is a gift.
Being able to respond with consciousness is a gift.
Being able to respond with joy is a gift.
Being able to respond with an open mind is a gift.
Your consciousness is a gift to the world.
Give yourself whatever it takes to be fully awake and everything you do and say will be GIFT!
When we are here to be truly helpful, we pay attention.
When we are here to serve, we listen for opportunities.
When we are here to teach and learn Loving kindness, we practice everywhere.
When we are here to give, we seek appreciative recipients.
When we are here to be helped, we find helpers.
When we are here to be served, we seek servers.
When we are here to survive, we teach and practice, “Me first.”
When we are here to get more, we look for generous givers.
When adults have not learned the joy and freedom of being responsible, they cannot teach it.
When parents are not caring for their children with gratitude and joy, kids learn responsibility is hard.
When we struggle with the smallest “chores” with irritation and resistance, we cannot teach helpfulness.
When the world seems to avoid taking care of everyday tasks (paying bills, cleaning homes and highways, etc. how can we expect kids to learn to feel happy about being responsible?
Responding to the needs we see everyday in every way can be a way of life.
Giving first to our own family and home, our health and our happiness is a gift.
When laundry, meals, making our bed and cleaning are natural, we can extend our giving to others.
When we pay our bills with appreciation and timeliness, then we can teach others how to live in integrity.
Life is here as a learning opportunity.
We have continuous surprise quizzes and exams.
These make us aware of our willingness and ability to respond.
When we have done our inner work, have cleared our judgments and fears, we pass easily.
Let’s grow up and be responsible adults.
Let’s make our beds and do our laundry.
Let’s pay our bills and clean our homes.
Let’s speak with respect and appreciation.
Let’s stop complaining and blaming our government or our childhood.
Let’s remember to say please and thank you even to our family members.
Let’s contribute (affirmation, participation and finances) to the people and places that inspire us.
Let’s give when and what and to whom has heart and meaning for us.
Life becomes fun, safe and easy, when we respond to it with abundant gratitude and joy.
Loving you,
Betty Lue
