Are You Listening?

I can feel the changing times…….for the world and for me.
I can see the letting go of what no longer works…..for the world and for me.
I can hear the sounds of fear, curiosity and amazement….for the world and for me.
There is a change happening in all that seems to be.

Sometimes our relationship with the physical world becomes the barometer for the need to change.
Sometimes our bodies out-picture the need for release and renewal.
Sometimes jobs and finances, our homes and cars, demonstrate our need to undo what no longer works.
Sometimes we simply need to pay attention, forgive and choose again.

Life is filled with cycles and seasons, different stages and reasons for being wherever we are.
Life gives us signals to change and rearrange where we may be content, stuck or just asleep.
Life shows us what is not working, but we must listen within for what will work for us.
Happiness and inner peace our the signs we have found our way again.

“Tis a gift to be simple.
Tis a gift to be free.
Tis a gift to come round
Where we ought to be.

When true simplicity is gained.
To bow and to bend we shall not be ashamed.
And when we find ourselves in the place just right.
It will be in the valley of love and delight.”
 

This simple song reminds us of the need to look for love and delight.
It tells us that being humble and flexible are truly needed for simple happy loving lives.

I know several beings who have made their transition, releasing their bodies and moving on.
I know others who are transitioning with jobs, finances, relationships and health issues.
I realize change is the natural occurrence of physical life.
And yet we cling, attach demand and push for our own outcome and timing.

Perhaps the suffering and pain, regret and guilt, blame and resentment is the sign we are not listening.
Perhaps attachments and addictions, stubbornness and resistance, are holding on to what no longer works.
Perhaps it is time to be deeply hones and connected with ourselves.
Perhaps we can let go of what worked in the past and listen for what is highest and best right now.

Let us commit to spend time daily to ask questions, the important and deep ones.
And then sit quietly listening and writing what we hear inside.
Yes listen to the ego’s ideas and complaints and then deeper to the higher self guidance and assurance.
Everyone has an inner voice, a place of peace, comfort and loving guidance.

Listen to your hear.
Listen for your joy.
Listen to the Voice that Loves you always.

Listening deeply for the freedom and trust that comes from LOVE!

Thanking the Giver of All Good Things

Dear GOD:

I want to thank You for what you have already done.
I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards.
I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better.
I'm not going to wait until people say they are sorry or they stop talking about me.
I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears.
I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves.
I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet.
I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job.
I am not going to wait until I understand everything that has caused me pain or grief.
I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed.

I am thanking you right now.
I am thanking you because I am alive.
I am thanking you because I made it through the days of difficulties.
I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles.
I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.
I'm thanking you because FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me.

God is just so good, and he's good all the time.
