Dear Sparrow,
Having gratitude for possessing an oasis of serenity, finally learned how to embrace acceptance of things that simply IS, having the courage to always press forward as its the only way to go as our past is just that, our past and obtaining wisdom from all of the lessons experienced, which is definitely the truest when it comes from a loving and hopeful heart of this sparrow. Of course it starts with change within ourselves ultimately BEing contagious to others spreading the beauty of it and awakening desires of wanting the same.
Gratefully, I am sustained in the midst of moments, especially when feeling lonely at times and BEing alone allowing myself to BE presently alone completely with Jehovah, my God. It reminds me of my relationship with BIG brother, Jesus and all the sparrows of the world to push to greater by BEing myself in order to be the greatest of myself; in reality is healthy to fill the emotion of loneliness and to be alone at times, although in actuality, we are never alone. There is a difference between the two. However, I am grateful to BE reminded to not forget about loving myself, being myself, being with myself because when I am ... I am aligned with God.
Sparrows! Psalms 29:11 states "The Lord gives strength to HIS people, and blessings with peace." Every time I read this scripture, without fail, The Serenity Prayer comes to mind as it does This Very Moment, because I find myself speaking it aloud when encouragement and/or inspiration is warranted in particular spaces during my walk in life, and it always leave me with a smile as flashbacks of memories pour in like a rushing wind, and find myself reciting "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference." So, powerful! In complete humbleness within this precious and pivotal moment in time, I am speechlessly grateful and overflowing in the joy and stillness of peace.
What are you grateful for, sparrow?
Grace & Gratitude!
