Joy

Divine power fills me with joy today.

Like waves in the ocean or birds in the sky, I am uplifted by divine power expressing through me. As I pray and go about my activities, God is the power that fills me with joy. Just as energy moves the waves and wind lifts the birds, this joy radiates throughout my being, filling me with energy and enthusiasm for life.

I find joy in simple things like spending time with a friend or enjoying the beauty of nature. I am aware of the simple, joy-filled moments and collect them as treasures. Joy shapes my thoughts and flows out into my conversations and actions.

I experience joy as the truth of my being and the divine energy in my life.

"For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy."--Psalm 63:7

I am immersed in and filled with an awareness of Your presence expressing as my life.

Today's Meditation

Dear Mother/Father/God,

This week is an interesting collection of days that we have labeled Holy: Celtic New Year, Halloween, Samhain, All Saints and All Souls. An interesting blend of celebrations from the ancient religions and Christianity mixed with more than a bit of modern marketing. My intention is to reflect on the core meaning of this sacred time of year;

a time of reflection and anticipation, a time between seasons. I allow my mind to wander though my memories of those people who have been a part of my past.

Friends and family members, lovers and leaders, co-workers and teachers, everyday folk, and spiritual giants.

Some are gone from this realm of existence, others just gone from my sight. I bless and thank them all.

I am grateful for the people whose ideas and presence have helped me find my way. So many decisions, events, people, places, jobs, loves, heartaches, seeming errors and triumphs have brought me to this moment; to this particular expression of eternal unfoldment. Now, I consciously rekindle my internal awareness of the One Life with and in me. I know that everyday is Holy if I live it wholly.

Blessed be the Life we share.

Amen
