A grateful heart changes everything.

Psalm 146:2
Praise the LORD, my soul; I will praise the LORD all my life, sing praise to my God while I live.

Sometimes the troubles of the world…the injustices…the pain and suffering…can be overwhelming.
It is easy to fall into pessimism and cynicism.
But stop for a moment.
Really stop.
Do not get drawn into the mire of human-created, ego-driven delusions based on greed and self-centeredness.
Allow your mind’s non-stop commentary to cease.
Take a deep breath.
Just breathe.
Each of your breaths is a gift.
Life is a gift: the sunshine, green grass, flowers, singing birds, your pet dog or cat, your loved ones…all gifts.
A Zen master was once quoted as saying, “What in this moment is lacking?”
Psalm 23 states, “The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack.”
In this moment…I am whole. I have all I need.
I am loved.
Jesus told us that the greatest commandments were to Love God and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
Love is what matters most. It is the Life-force that is sustaining us right now.
Stop and sense it.
It is all gift.
Dwell on that…and then sing praise to the Love that made you!
