(Yesterday’s lesson was step one and today’s is on step two.)
Which was: {It is but me I crucify…it is but me I fear.}
We were asked to: {Step back from fear and advance towards love.}
This lesson asks that we free our minds from the belief
That outside forces are riding our cases.
“We think others are attacking us and
We want to think that we are ‘not’ attacking them…
Then we make attempts at kindness and forgiveness.
And turn this into attacks again.
How do I do that, you say?
Unless we find external gratitude and lavish thanks,
How easily are gratitude and guilt confused by us
Because we know not what our thoughts can really do!”
The beauty of Gratitude is, when, whatever we offer,
It is offered because we are Grateful…
Not because we expect something…or, any thing.
No have no need for thankyness,
Nor staying with our giving,
No advice on what to do with our offer.
It’s like we are to give our gift,
And definitely no strings attached.
If any above are included…
We are essentially taking back our offer of the gift.
Our Gratitude is all our gifts require.
It does not matter if we did not get thanked…
Or, if they thought it was tacky or unworthy.
This does not matter if our gifts were not honored.
It is us who honor them out of our own HigherSelves
And they had a fitting thanks…
When we received them so we could extend,
Remembering then how Grateful we were?
In all of this gratitude they are accepted Universally
And thankfully acknowledged by God HimSelf.
Would you take anything back from God?
What we give, it is our Goodness/Godness
Giving to others Goodness/Godness
Like us looking into our own mirrors.
So again, would you take anything back from God?
{{Could we?}}
Our Gratefulness is blessed by God.
Every gift we give another is given to God
And is given to ourSelves.
God’s gifts have never left us.
Gratitude remains a part of love.
Thanks be to us, God’s holy Children.
We were created with all things within our HigherSelf.
And we are still as God created us.
In our hearts is the heart of God.
God holds us dear.
Because we are Him.
All Gratitude belongs to us because of what we are.
In Gratitude I come here each day,
Giving of my HigherSelf, taking from Yours!
How can it get any better?
*** love…rell
