6/06/12 Resentments are culprits that cause you to remain in the cycles of negativity and victimhood. They lodge inside and cause you to lose touch with your authentic worth, joy, and conscious contact with God. Forgive the past and leave it where it belongs-in the past. Don’t react instead of act, fight instead of surrender, or judge instead of love. Pray for a deeper perspective.

My Aunt June turned 89 years young today. Although my children look back at D-Day as ancient Amercian History, it was her 21st birthday. I don't recall her ever having a cross word to say about those around her, both friends and family. Neither of her boys had "grandchildren," and only one got married (in his 50's). Yet I never heard her express regrets with that. Her sister in law was a mean spirited person to her, but again I never saw her respond with anger back. I believe it's her "throwing away the grudges" that has allowed her to live so long. Her serenity and forgiveness of others have blessed her with a long a peaceful life. The Lord is generous...

Author - Linda BeckwithI believe everyday is a gift from our Creator. As we age, some may fear the unknown~death. People who become aware of their mortality find they have actually gained freedom to live. They have found they have an appreciation for the present. We are all here to contribute love, forgiveness, and service. As I age, I want to nourish my soul's purpose. If we are open to grace, people will appear in our lives to encourage growth of our souls. Allow me to provide daily nourishment through loving words, because joy is our birthright. I call these my daily "Truth Vitamins" for spiritual health. Join me in discovering together our inner soul purpose with "Love~that's all there is". Archives
