There are those who surrender to gratitude.
Who understand truths within humanity which breathe life into their souls.
Who speak softly of the Divine, upon which many blessings stream forth into this wayward world.
There are those who surrender to gratitude.
Who understand the effortless of the Divine to give life with all its challenges, heartache, grief, wickedness, raw with emotion which overwhelms humanity.
Life can be taken as easily as it is given. Joy and happiness seem fleeting but lie abundantly within the silence, within the grace, within the effortlessness.
Blessings may not be easily seen or heard, felt or experienced, but imbued powerfully by the Holy Spirit.
And for those whose faith is embodied, that surrender is steadfast.
There are those who surrender to gratitude.
Bitterness does not take hold of their spirits.
Their gratitude flows freely between the heavens and the earth, between all kingdoms under Creation, abiding by those spiritual laws at work.
Appreciating the task at hand to love thy brethren with their whole heart and soul, to love thy earth as much as the womb which carried them between worlds.
There are those who do not know how to surrender.
Who hold tightly to fear, to doubt, to the uncertainty which plagues human hearts.
To the abandonment of self within our wayward world.
To the abandonment of self within the cosmos.
To the abandonment of self within Godnature.
There are those who do not know how to surrender as they do not yet understand gratitude.
It lies within them, a palpable force to be reckoned with, a sense of unyielding freedom from all attachment and desire.
For what is past, what is present, and what is yet to come.
There are those who fear gratitude, the unknown that comes with it, the perceived sense of powerlessness.
May we join together within God’s sanctity, within a moment of silence, to understand the immense beauty that is shared for a life worth being grateful for.
A life that is our own, one that is another’s, and for those lives that walk within every dimension between the heavens and the earth.
