Blessing
My first choice for Word of the Week was ‘gift’. But as I reflected on the many gifts that pour into my life these days, blessing seemed the more appropriate word.
‘A thing conducive to happiness…’ is the definition I find most suitable for this moment. My new home and new car (new to me) are dramatic examples of blessing. Without loving, generous giving, I would not, could not, afford these things conducive to my happiness. This extends to the intangible as well, including the rich, abundant blessings from my garden of family, friends and clients.
I have written here before about acceptance. I am joyfully filled by these expressions of care and support; and very grateful that I am able to allow myself to receive these blessings.
A fountain of gratitude bubbles in my heart. Not only for the folks who have gifted me, but also for the Divine Power of Love, the God of My Heart in whom all things are possible.
Wishing you a shower of blessings this week that are conducive to your happiness!
