Magnificent Outcomes

Today is my 28th day of practicing the book "Magic"...which aka is gratitude. For 28 days I started my day with reading a chapter that addressed something that I could focus my attention on-- atention with gratitude. Each morning I made a list of 10 blessings in my life. And I prayed a "thank you, thank you, thank you" over them. Then I left the house on a gratitude hunt. I searched for things to be grateful for. At times, I would sent some magic dust someone's way.... meaning I sent out gratitude for them. Perhaps it was a stranger that passed me on the street and smiled at me or it was some one who let me cut into the traffic. 28 days of writing...I wrote the 'Count My Blessing' assignement on big index cards and taped the to my wall in my bedroom around the words "Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." Through gratitude I am creating. I love reading the red and praying for the power of Jesus' words. Jesus said in Mark 4 24-25. "With the measure you use it, it will be measured to you-and even more. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what hie has will be taken from him." So what is the 'it' Jesus is referring to. It is in the context of the Parable of the Sower. What you sow- spread around- is what will grow more of. What you don't spread around and pocket away will be taken. What is it.... gratitude, love, money, - anything we have that if we give it 'plant it' it has the ability to grow and multiply. I tell myself:"If I don't have it- get it!" "If I've got it, give it!" If I don't have love - get it. If I have love , give it. If I don't have gratitude, get it! If I have it- give it! If I don't have gratitude- get it! If I have gratitude- give it! I have to say, I feel good about myself having dedicated- faithfullly- consecutively 28 days is a row. Sticking with something this kind of dedicated has been far and few between in my life. But my eyes have been opened. I realized how ungrateful I am for soooo many little things in my life. How much there is to be grateful for. Girls, I have so much more to say, but I have to get on my grateful way right now. Know that I am sooooooo grateful for both of you....and you don't even know it! Much Love, Mom
