Tuesday gratitudes...One can let go of fear, but can never let go of love..

ACIM wb-195 Gratitude goes hand in hand with love, and where one is the other must be found, for gratitude is but an aspect of the Love that is the Source of all creation.
I am grateful this day for miracles; for all the changes in my perceptions; for the many options that I have come before me before the day is over; for friends and family; for days past and days to come; and the “now” that is in this moment.
I am grateful for being with the women in my family for dinner last evening. Young one, my Grand Daughter, has so much to look forward to in her young life as it unfolds for her.
I am grateful for God’s love for me in so many ways. I love the way the redbirds are feeding as I awaken each day.
I am grateful to see the movie, “Anastasia,” last evening…I could feel her integrity and dignity regardless of what prevailed in her life.
I am grateful for setting up a tape player beside my bed…and for the tape, “Elevated Atmospheres,” recalling the essence of the Tai Chi poses.
I am grateful for ACIM lesson #79 that wants to encourage me that I will be successful to the extent to which I do not insist on defining my problems. And Jesus continues trying to assist my effort with saying, “Perhaps I will not succeed in letting go of my preconceived notions, and that isn’t necessary. But it is necessary to have some doubt about the reality of my version of what my problems are.”
Just like patty’s clients, she sees herself in each one’s strengths. I so admire her sharing…as I see me there too. It always seems anther rung on my ladder leading me to higher consciousness in a most inconspicuous way…as each of us relentlessly remain vertical…rell
