It is a time for faith that is more than a mere word, but something to put into use every hour of every day, by counting the little miracle blessings that come along, and recalling them to mind... It's a year when putting faith in a higher source is the only way to avoid the terror of the unknown, and there have been many amazing little miracles and blessings along the way, tangible evidence that there is something bigger than me that knows what's best, if I just trust in it... non-verbal promises of better times to come in a new and better place.
I planted the tiny seeds for this Coleus plant just two months ago, watering it every day and keeping it in the light of the sun, and it has come forth in great and beautiful abundance. It is my reminder, to myself, that this is like my life at this time...
For me, the food for an abundant and joyful new life is counting the many glorious little blessings that seem to come as if by magic. The watering for a new life is the FAITH in an unseen power that knows more than I do, made evident in these small and glorious blessings and little miracles that actually make such a great difference each step of the way, and with THE LIGHT, it will come forth beautifully, and abundantly.
It is all too easy to doubt and be fearful in this world where dragons, and things under the bed and in the closet, seem all too real sometimes, but there comes a time when every child sees that those things only have power over them until the day they become aware that there is nothing there to fear because they know how to deal with them and make the dragons go away.
I am as a child now, but I count these blessings as as I go along, feeling the comfort in them as I would in the words of my parents as I was growing up, afraid of the dark, allowing the life within me to respond to the LIGHT that provides the answers for my needs here on earth, as I grow in spiritual awareness, to look back at this time as just one more stage in my earthly and spiritual progress, and nothing to fear at all.
