Focusing on what we have in our lives and giving gratitude for it, helps us to feel great about things and attracts more positivity into our lives.
Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good.
– Maya Angelou
There’s nothing wrong in glorifying the members of your family tree. As a matter of fact, knowing one’s roots and feeling great gives a boost of confidence. After all, you are now in this world thanks to those that came before you, so simply taking the time to spiritually thank those individuals is deemed selfless gratitude in itself. Love for one’s own flesh and blood is one of the most self-assuring virtues known to man.
A miracle may be defined as an event that cannot be fully explained through natural or scientific laws. Such an event would typically be described as unlikely to occur and would widely be ascribed to a particular deity, saint, miracle worker or religious leader. Miracles may occur through the culmination of a certain series of natural events triggered by a higher power or by means of supernatural occurrences. God is, therefore, capable of working through nature to perform a miracle or directly intervening in an event of particular significance. Such an event would typically be described as supernatural.
There’s just something about that moment when you realize you’ve hit the ultimate gastronomical jackpot. An ideal alignment of tastes can go a long way and it really impacts the way you look at food. Many of us view it simply as a means to implement nutrients to our body, but it is much more.
Most of us make complex long-term schemes and plans but stay blind to the simplicity of everyday life. Every goal can seem less possible by the minute if its realization isn’t constructed well.
Blessings have strong ties to religion. You hear of people receiving blessings from their deity or count their blessings as the good things in their lives; many also understand blessings as a prayer spoken to you or about you in order for you to receive these “blessings” or simply to be blessed with good health, success or other endeavors in your life.
O Great Spirit,
whose voice I hear in the winds
and whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me.
I am small and weak.
I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty
and let my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
and my ears grow sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things
you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden
in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength not to be greater than my brother or sister
but to fight my greatest enemy, myself.
Make me always ready
to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes
So when life fades as the fading sunset
my spirit may come to you without shame.
– Chief Yellow Lark
