The primary spiritual weakness of human beings is
their lack of gratitude, heartfelt gratitude directed
toward the Source and Goal of the universe. The
history of humanity testifies clearly to this fundamental
thanklessness. Persons commit vast amounts of energy
to acquiring and enjoying the abundant goods of
earthly life, without making serious efforts to know and
consciously praise the Source of Life.
At the end of time, those asleep in death will
suddenly awaken, and the secrets of every heart and
mind will shine forth, illuminated by the Source of
Light who is intimately acquainted with all souls.
On that infinate day, humanity will recognize its own
extreme ingratitude, and will humbly know true
gratitude at last.
- Holy Quaran 100:6-11 Rendered
By Lex Hixon
Let us be still an instant and forget all things we ever
learned, all thoughts we had and every preconception
that we hold of what things mean and what their purpose
is. Let us remember not our own ideas of what
the world is for - we do not know. Let every image held
of everyone be loosened from our minds and swept
away.
- A Course in Miracles
Give thy blessing, we pray Thee, to our daily
work, that we may do it in faith, and heartily.
- Thomas Arnold
I am finally caught up on the missing prayers and can share only
one per day forward from here...and what a nice combination of thoughts
to carry with me at the conclusion of this year ~ reminders of Gratitude,
Open Mindedness and a prayer for blessing in all that we may do!
These are such great thoughts to carry into the New Year....
so, welcome 2012!! And, thank you 2011 for the many gifts
seen and unseen!
I bid 2011 goodbye with a final word of gratitude for my dearest Patt ...
who left the planet in body this year, but lives forever more in the hearts of
so many ... ... ...
Love, Cate
