It is Sunday again and the day itself usually makes one think of spiritual musings and it started Gommy to thinking about spiritual things herself. We often hear the word 'Blessings' when we are in church and I wonder how many of us really think of the word and how powerful it is. Blessings are a gift from our maker. It is 'divine grace' that we are given our Blessings and it is something that we didn't earn (or couldn't earn because it doesn't 'work' that way!).
Gommy and Grandpa Mike spent time with part of our families yesterday. My daughter and her children and Grandpas' son and family. Gommys' grandchildren from my son, live on the West Coast of Florida, and we didn't get to see them this time, but we are Blessed to see them more often now that we are back in South Florida. And thanks to the Internet, emails and now Facebook, we are in touch much more and that is a real Blessing as well.
Gommy thinks that when we are Blessed with something.....it usually started with merely 'wanting' something and it was 'given'....you know as in 'ask and you shall receive'...Gommy is pretty sure that is all you have to do to receive what you ask for.....Now, people may say that they want stuff all the time and they don't get it....But there is a catch.....Now don't go saying, "Ah-Ha...I knew it!" It is really quite simple. Most of us think of something we want and immediately cancel it out....Don't believe me???? How about the people you hear saying, "I wish I could win the lottery............but I'm not lucky." BAM.......canceled.....or "I hope 'Bob" calls me....but I know he won't." BAM...canceled. Or, "I hope I get the job........but the girl who came in for the job just before me will probably get it." BAM...canceled. Or "I wish I could feel better but I am always sick." BAM...canceled. You get the picture here? The most important word in our vocabulary when we are wishing, asking or hoping for something is the word 'BUT". All the word 'but' does is cancel out the previous thought. Sooooooo, quit using it.....Just state what you want, wish or hope for and focus on that and don't let any booga-boos creep into your thought processes and you will be on the right track to getting (receiving) what you 'ask' for.
The most important thing to do when you do receive something you asked for is to be grateful for it and say you are grateful for it and for all of your Blessings. Too many times you see people who have 'fallen from Grace' and you wonder what happened to them. Movie stars come to mind right now for Gommy. Gommy thinks they forgot that they were 'given' whatever wonderful thing was happening in their life and what ever talent they possess and they took it for granted and it was snatched away from them....Lesson.....Don't take anyone or anything for granted because you may find that one day they or it are no longer in your life.
But (there's that word again) back to happier thoughts...just take today or any Sunday or any day to realize all of your Blessings and to give thanks. It's really just that easy. Have a splendiferous week.....Hugs, Gommy ((*.*))
