Saying Goodbye to 2012 and Releasing My Past

Releasing is very much an ongoing process, isn’t it, God? I can’t do it without Your Enveloping Love! You love me as I am — and as I was — and as I am becoming. And You love each one of us that very same way. Smile! Here is to a New Year FULL OF LOVE!

Ah, but Anxiety Stress is different! That kind of Stress burns up our energy and leaves behind lumps like hunks of charcoal clogging our bodies and our hearts.

We love, because God first LOVES us

But, this morning You stepped in and transformed the “location” from a stone altar to YOUR LAP! Wow! You, The Creator of the Universe don’t just love us — You want to hold us on Your Lap!

Keeping My Focus on Gratitude

how easy it is to fall into wishing — wishing for things we don’t have — or wishing for what we do have to be just a wee bit better. Oh my! That kind of wishing slips in and takes over . . . leaving me discontented and disagreeable. Yikes!
