The Gratitude Experiment: Day 23

As we enter this Christmas time in earnest, all of us who celebrate the birth of Jesus…in whatever way…can, and do, express gratitude for the man himself.

Even though most scholars agree that Jesus wasn’t actually born on December 25, this is the time we have agreed to celebrate the birth.  Celebration is gratitude taken up to it’s highest level.  I’ll be talking more about that in the coming days as we move into the celebration of the New Year.

But for now, I am so grateful for the choice Jesus made and his personal dedication and ultimate sacrifice to live a life in complete oneness with God.  He demonstrated the promise that it is possible to be completely one with Source.  In fact,  there was no place where God left off and Jesus began, and was therefore able to instantly manifest Infinite love, healings, peace and supply.  He was the Light of the World.  This promise he told us was possible for all of us.  Most of us have yet to realize our potential, but many of us are at least awakening to the truth that it is there.  Thanks to Jesus (along with other enlightened masters like Buddha, Krishna and others.)

So, today I am so grateful for the life of Jesus and love the spirit of Jesus continues to pour into our hearts.  I am grateful that I am becoming aware of my divine potential and am given glipses of being in total oneness with Source. In gratitude, I open to receive more.

The Gratitude Experiment: Day 22

I am so grateful that, for at least one time a year, I connect with distant family and friends I haven’t seen in a long time and catch up with them. It’s really true that a connection once made in love is never lost.

I am grateful for a time of year when I don’t need to count calories. I can just enjoy the smells and flavors of the season. Diet and exercise will come soon enough (isn’t that what January is for?). So, for now, I’m going to enjoy!

I am grateful for Eckhart Tolle and his giggling voice on a CD reminding us to ask ourselves, “Who am I?” and then don’t answer. If you answer…then that’s not it.  It’s in the silence before an answer comes.  It’s deep, but he giggles with this which makes it light and fun.

I am grateful for email technology which allows us to send out Holiday letters with one click…and even at the last minute!

Happy eve of Christmas eve!
