Thank You to my Loving Creator
Your love helps me feel safer in this world
Thanksgiving week gives me a chance to reflect on what I’m most grateful for in my life.
I want to take this week, and say thank you to those entities, people, and organizations that have had profound influences on my life.
I believe that when gratitude is expressed it creates ripples of joy into the universe. It has the power to change hearts and lives because it reminds us of how important we are to each other. And who doesn’t need more of these reminders?
Today I want to focus on how grateful I am to have a conscious relationship with the power that created me. I call this entity God.
I don’t want to get into trying to define what or who this loving power is. That frankly seems impossible. It is much too big for me even wrap my mind around. There have been times in my life when I have tried to give a specific definition, but I failed because I don’t think I’m capable of it. But I will tell you that I spend every day trying to have a more conscious relationship with it.
I am grateful to have this loving Presence in my life because I feel a sense of safety. This world is a very complex and scary place sometimes. I need something to help make sense of it all. I need to know that I’m going to be all right. I need to know that my life has meaning and that my life is being supported.
My Creator does all of that for me. And it is in the relationship with this loving entity that I gain the ability to go out into my life and know that I will be protected.
I didn’t always feel protected. Because of my and other people’s choices, there were many times in my life when I didn’t feel safe. This has changed for the most part. I do know now that there is a flow to my life that I wasn’t conscious of before.
Today, I just want to say thank you to my loving God who gives me that confidence and assurance to live my life. This physical life is just the next step in my spiritual journey. I’m here for a very short time. I’m grateful for the time I have, and I’m glad I’m not alone.
