A Season of Love Message~11-4-11~A Place of Gratitude
November 4, 2011
A Season of Love Message for Friday: Today I am in a place of gratitude! It’s good to remember to count our blessings and be grateful. Every day I find something I am thankful for, even the smallest things. So many people are hurting, struggling, in pain, feeling lack in their lives; I know it’s not a good or positive place to be. When we’re having difficulties and life is pulling at us, it’s not easy to look around and feel grateful, but even then, there is always something to be grateful for. Perhaps we can look up and see the sun, feel its warmth on a cold day, breathe fresh air, have clean water, hear from a friend, feel love from a pet, have food to eat, electricity and a place to sleep. Too many don’t have those things and when I stop to think about it, I close my eyes and send out love and abundant, positive thoughts to the world and the Universe, believing that energy will help us all have what we need and to be in a place of gratitude.
This week has been interesting and fruitful. To me, most weeks are, because being positive attracts good things to us. I also find that when I give, I receive. I’ve been going through clothes, coats, blankets and things to give away and I thought it would be nice to have a few new sweaters for myself, since it’s getting colder. I believe it’s good to get rid of the old to make room for the new, so that’s what I’ve been doing. When we give, we always receive one way or another!
While online, I saw an email pop up that looked interesting from a Freecycle group I’m on. Freecycle, are groups online you can join for the area you live in, where people give away things they no longer need or want to keep them out of the land fields. My family and I have given away some things and we’ve received some too.
I responded to the email where a lady was giving away some nice clothes with the tags still on them, especially two sweaters and they were my size. I responded and she said I could have two bags, but one was already promised to someone else. I said that was fine and we made arrangements for me to pick them up. I was happy they were nice and it felt good to receive them. I wrote her an email when I got home and said thank you. She wrote back and said she had another bag, she felt bad I hadn’t gotten the best one. My husband picked them up while he was out and I was excited that everything in the bag was brand new, my size and just beautiful! I was so happy and felt so blessed. We didn’t get to meet her, she wasn’t home, but I felt this “angel,” must have heard me when I said I needed a few new items of clothing and she came through! She and I are planning on getting together soon for lunch, so “two” requests came through and the Universe has a way of bringing things together in the most wonderful ways!
Blessings & gratitude,
