Thanks for everything...

Dear Friends,

Even when you're having a difficult time forgiving yourself, try this: "Thanks for everything, God!"

When we're having a hard time, when life is piling up, when we are filled with fear and we seem to be immobilized, when you seem unable to make a decision and don't know how to go forward, say: "Thanks for everything, God!"

It may be that at the time nothing seems to be something to be grateful about. Then you may have to say: "ok, so I don't feel it, but a part of me knows it's true: thanks for everything, God!"

When you look at things from your deepest point, deeper than the fear and the uncertainty and the list of things that seems too long, and when relationships seem to be shattered, your deepest self knows that your life is really about giving thanks.

And who really knows the outcome of what is happening to us now? Who among us has the sight to know how things will turn out? Who among us can really tell all the possibilities of making one decision or another?

"Thanks for everything, God!"
Warmly,
