Basking in the Gratitude
by Rev. Gil William Olmstead, Spiritual Director
Today, gratitude fills my soul. I can feel grateful with every step. The chilled air, a leisurely breakfast, the dogs licking my face – all of it reminds me of the wonder that I am here. I am grateful that my life is the Life of Spirit. That the fullness of Spirit is right where I am and right where you are. All things point to the One thing that is. I know that this One is my life and your life and our life – all appearances of division are simply an illusion.
Knowing this to be true, I trust what is. I trust that the Universe is conspiring for my good – for all good! Everything is in the divine flow into which I ground myself now, allowing myself to move and flow with the current of what is. No struggle, no strife, just living life. I live and move and have my being in the flow of Spirit. I am blessed beyond measure. I receive the gifts of life with joy and gratitude. I am riding on the waves of divinity!
Wow! I am basking in the gratitude for this truth right now. I spread gratitude wherever I go! And I release this word knowing that it is done, now and forever.
And so It is. Amen.
