Peace

I Light a Candle for Peace.
With Peace in My Heart and Mind
Harmony Vibrates through My thoughts.

The Peace of God is My One Goal;
The aim of all My living here, the end I seek
My purpose and My function and My Life.
I am Peace.

This is the season that many people inventory their Blessings and give thanks to God. It is the season to be Thankful for our family and friends and share gifts and parties with each other.

As we experience life on Planet Earth and experience the sun and wind on our face we begin to have a deeper appreciation for the air we breath and the beauty all around us in nature. The sunsets and sunrises and the beauty that only God could create brings an awareness of the presence of God in our daily life.

Our many talents and gifts of creativity that we each have within us, are often take for granted. Everything in life that we experience can be looked upon as a miracle and blessing. From our seeming losses to our gains all are experiences to be lived and opportunities to awaken to our inner God Nature. The very awareness of these things in my life, brings me to a deep appreciation and Spiritual awakening of the presence of God in my life.

Observing a daily contemplative quiet time is essential for hearing an inner clear guidance and experiencing regular inner peace. We each have the choice to follow new ways in our life or perpetuate old patterns that keep us from our highest and grandest good. There is a path out of the confusion of life, into an awareness of the presence of God and Miracles in our life.

We allow the Peace of God to envelope each of us in this Holy Season as we light our second Advent candle and sit in quiet meditation remembering our many Blessings in our life.
