Dear Sparrow,
What are you doing at 2 o'clock PM everyday? Well, please allow me to share what I am doing promptly at 2 o'clock PM; I come to a complete halt to align "This Very Moment" with my God. Jehovah have a standing date every day with me to praise HIM, adore HIM, love on HIM in immense gratitude of who HE is, and more so ... who HE is to me. I celebrate HIM via gratefulness for all HE does, has done and will do for me in my life and your's too.
Granted I am in gratitude every day from the moment I open my eyes and consciously have the realization that I am still amongst the living. First words "Thank You" for another fabulous day to serve YOU, now what are WE doing today? My mantra every single morning and throughout the day. However, at 2 o'clock PM is my reset, refresh, or moment of soaring at my designated and chosen time, not the time HE has given me to celebrate life for another day ... No, No, No, I choose to halt to express gratitude at THIS dedicated time every single day!
It's important to have gratitude time, sparrow. To me it changes my mind and heart in moments, knowing I have specified 2 o'clock PM as my specified time to align with my #1, my favorite, my everything, Jehovah God. My higher power releases endorphins that always bring me the ultimate joy that flutters my heart in bliss, because I know God is with me always; however, at this particular time, I have that BIG smile, that BIG grin because I know ~ this time is extra special, because I've chosen it, I've chosen HIM. This daily meeting flourishes my life in ways only HE can ... it's not a secret, I shout it out to the world. Everyone who knows me, knows this about me. I chose to do this, because HE deserves the recognition, HE deserves the praises, HE deserves the quality time. I gain from the choice of elevation spotlighting HIM. The Greatest of Gratitude, because God is the epitome of Grace ~ The Father, mine and yours too! It's the most amazing thing.
Why 2 o'clock? Because the number two symbolizes a pair, coupled, intimate, private; however, center stage of focus. The most beautiful relationship, the most beautiful time spent. This sparrow soars the greatest when devoting my love, my time, my focus, my BEing consciously, and specifically on HIM. My true love, my God, Jehovah's in essence my in one word (everything.) I am nothing without HIM, and I am grateful for HIM. I wouldn't BE who I am if I wasn't chosen by HIM for me, for you, for this world, for my parents, for my siblings, for every life I have touched and will touch. I serve purpose, because HE chose me to BE, to do, to love.
To break down Gratitude Time, I used to say I am grateful for "Everything." Yes, we can be grateful for everything; however, when we can break everything down of what we are in essence truly grateful for within the moments at present. That's displaying genuine gratefulness. I push it with others and myself now when I ask them what are they grateful for, and their answer is "Everything" ~ I'll follow up with the reply saying BE specific. What does everything look like to you This Very Moment? It causes them to ponder responding with an answer, then I smile, because although we can BE grateful for everything, always elaborate. When God is specific with us in our lives, we must BE specific in showing our gracious gratitude to HIM.
BEing specific for me is honoring HIM, and along with honor, it's respect, it's love, it's loyalty, it's spotlighting my wisdom and the knowledge gained from experiences. It's recognizing who HE is to me and how I'm growing constantly everyday, every moment, and it's not of my doing, it's HIS and for this, I recognize HIM and only HIM. I am truly blessed to benefit from gratitude, from grace in my life. Simply for choosing to BE specific, simply for selecting the time I can BE consistent with my God every day and branding my glory, branding my praise, branding me. A brand to BE proud of when recognizing my God for truly BEing my everything; however, I choose to BE specific in my gratitude to HIM respecting the love of my life, my Jehovah God, this is what I am grateful for.
What are you grateful for my sparrow?
Grace & Gratitude!
