For the past two weeks I have been publishing posts of Affirmative
Thoughts without commentary or discussion, observing how they
fare on their own without me putting them into persepctive. The
Affirmative Thoughts I publish each day originate as a morning
note I write for Ann as she is still sleeping and deliver with her
tea when I wake her up for work.
These notes, or Affirmative Thoughts as I call them, are inspired
by what is happening in Ann's life and her spiritual journey at the
time but are often useful for both of us. I simply meditate for a few
moments asking God for guidance pertinent for Ann that day, and
record a short three stanza note beginning on the front side of a
folded over white single sheet of copy paper, finishing on the
inside half - writing the guidance down as it comes into my
consciousness, primarily without editing.
As I read these posts without commentary they seemed to be
missing the real life story that often made them seem so impactful
at the time. But even more I missed the chance to share the story
behind them and put them in a New Thought framework. So here
I am back sharing the story behind the note along with the
commentary.
Today's focus is on the Affirmative Thought below I wrote for Ann
yesterday morning after she realized that she made a oversight
which could push our new deck project back a whole month.
It was not the cost of the delay so much that bothered Ann but
the promise to our seven year old grandson that he could have
his June birthday party on the new deck. Ann was angry with
herself and quite upset by the potential delay. As is my style
these days I trusted it would all work out for the best.
I wrote this note below for Ann the next morning tilted
For A Reason which magnifies my belief that all things happen
to us for a reason - carrying with them some central purpose.
Easy to say when referring to a deck project but harder to grasp
if it were to involve our health, a family member, or a pet. Ann
read the note and in the car on the way to work she Golden Keyed
the issue to God and her angels asking for a solution. Later that
day the issue was resolved without much effort on our part and
the deck and the party are back on track. Let me know your
thoughts.
FOR A REASON
Today let us accept that all things
happen for a reason - even mishaps,
mistakes, or accidents carry with
them some central purpose - some
inherent rationale although unknown -
but now by coincidence - seems to
contribute to our greater good.
Today let us trust in the positive
nature of the universe to move us
through even the toughest times -
whether self-created, imposed by
happenstance or by nature - providing
us with the creative power to reveal an
opportunity - making more from little
or less - enabling us to gain from even
the worse possible experience.
Today let us fully affirm the connection
of all life - all experience and know the
magnificence of life will be our eternal
salvation - our guardian - our way forward.
Thanks for reading,
With love,
