The Meaning of Thanksgiving to Me

Thanksgiving is a combination of being grateful for all of the good that we have in our lives, and having an appreciation for where it all came from.

"Everything good comes from God and God is the source of all good things.

He makes it to rain upon the just and the unjust alike and bestows His mercy on both the wicked and righteous, of His loving kindness there is no limit.

We are made righteous by His mercy and justified by His acts of kindness; all of the good that we may have was bestowed upon us by Him.

Therefore we cannot take credit for any good thing that exists in our lives because all of the good that is in us was bestowed to us by Him.

Seeing that both the righteous and unrighteous have good things bestowed to them by God; what then makes a righteous man righteous?

A righteous man then is only an unrighteous man who acknowledges God and gives thanks for the good things God has given him."

Why Our Attitude About Our Work Is Important

Since we spend a large amount of our time at our place of employment, it would be to our advantage to make the time spent there as satisfying as possible. If we are not doing this, we are at conflict with our own Highest and Best interests, and unwanted experiences are the result.


"Is it an employment opportunity or bondage? Because what you really want is freedom, many of you equate working for other people as bondage. But if you would realize that the corporation, as an entity, is not so different from the individual, it might be easier to understand the employer's decisions. Long before the buildings or the workers, the visionary of the corporation had an idea for something that began summoning Energy. So years later maybe you are hired as a part of that team and, without realizing it, you are now the beneficiary of that continuing flowing Energy. When you step into one of those employment positions, Life Force is summoned through you because of the vision of the founder—unless you're bucking the current. Most get into that fast moving stream and paddle against the current—and then complain about it being a hard ride—where they could get into their canoe and easily paddle with the fast moving current. You can soar and thrive in any environment as long as you are not seeing things that you are using as your reason to paddle against the current. And so, it doesn't really matter what others are deciding. The questions is: "As I am choosing to stand here, it's a way for dollars to flow through me in exchange for the effort I am offering. Am I predominantly letting the Energy flow through me, or not? Am I letting it in?"

Abraham

Giving Thanks For The Opportunity

"I give thanks for every opportunity to demonstrate the power of Divine Intelligence to work through me. Anytime I am presented with a challenge, I know that it is an opportunity from God, my employer; and I quiet my intellect, turn within, and wait for positive words to fill my mind."

Louise L. Hay

What Really Matters

At the end of your life you will know that nothing you have done will matter - only who you have been while you have done it. Have you been happy? Have you been caring, and compassionate, and considerate of others? You will see that it is who you have been, not what you have done, that matters to your soul.
Neale Donald Walsch

Why the Rich Get Richer (Where's Mine?)

If we are not at peace with the wealth, accomplishments and positions in life of others, we have cut ourselves off from our own Good.
By rejoicing in the Good of others, we place ourselves into a state of Allowing Good to come into our own lives, often in seeming miraculous ways.
One of the quickest ways to block, hinder or remove the good in your own life is to become jealous, resentful or disdainful of the good of others, no matter how it was attained.
One of the quickest ways to increase our good is to bless and admire the good of others.

Why? All Good comes from God. When we attack Good anywhere else in the world, we are attacking our own connection with God, thereby increasing that which is not-Good in our own lives.

There is no peace in righteous indignation, jealousy or vindictiveness.
If we are not at peace, we are not in harmony with the Highest and Best outcomes for our life experiences, because we have blocked the free flow of Spirit in our lives, and then blamed people, places, things or conditions for what is going on around us. Even if a person has all of the wealth and power in the world, if he has not peace, he has opened up the door for the unwanted, for it is that important, that we be at peace, so that the Spirit and things of Spirit can flow into our lives.

Getting What We Want in Life

The world conspires to give you what you don't want, so, the secret is not to desire nothing, as many spiritual adepts do, but to joyfully, enthusiastically praise and give thanks for what you do want, which creates room in your life for your Good to come into your experience.

Our Objective is Love

I appreciate the Love, Joy and Harmony in my life, it is what feeds my Soul with the riches of God's Glory.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud."
1 Corinthians 13:4

"The people in this world cannot appear differently to us until we think differently of them."
Emma Curtis Hopkins

Here is a YouTube video from Dr. Wayne Dyer on Love:



"Your objective is to ask love within you to make its presence known, to have an awareness of being so full of love that this is what you have to give away. That's all you have to do--ask and receive. By doing just that, you'll attract more of what you're giving away."
Dr. Wayne Dyer

Opening the Door to Infinity

When we are Loving and Joyful, we are opening the door to Infinity. We are many times more likely to transcend problems and be successful in our lives when we have a loving, joyful outlook on life. It may be difficult, given our circumstances, to get to a place of not resisting our circumstances, and that is why it is best to start with an attitude of appreciating the Good that we have in our lives, even if we have to exaggerate or make things up. Your subconscious mind doesn't know the difference between what is "real" and what is fantasy, but if you dwell on mental pictures long enough, you will start to become like the pictures of your visualizations, no matter how creative or destructive they may be.

Here is a You Tube video display of the words from Summer Raven's, "Beware What You Tell Yourself," which was from the "Oneness Space," that came out in the early 1970's:
