Small Graces

Small graces: 

so before even a single thought crosses my mind, not a word yet spoken, and the day begins in perfect trust - without any doubt at all my body knows that air is available, my heart is already beating in perfect rhythm, blood flowing in just the right direction, and the universe aligned to greet me with a sunrise. None of this is asked for and there's a purposeful  grace in their arrival. Most mornings I wake up grateful, my first spoken words are "thank you" repeated three times, and then my wish is to continue with this sense of certain grace. This is when I consciously choose to surrender, with my own sense of purpose given over to the Holy Spirit, asking to be guided throughout the day. A Course in Miracles describes this process in chapter 30, the first section on rules for decision, and it's a beautiful way to begin my mornings. 

I will be entering my 61st year in just a few days, and more so than ever now I only want my day to be guided in service to others, being truly helpful in the most meaningful way. Yes, I want my bills to be paid, food available, and even the small comforts of buying the occasional book for myself. And at this point in my life I am willing to trust that all will be cared for, keeping true to my function and placing my faith in the will of God.

 I know that I am loved beyond measure.

and I trust that small graces will be shown to me in numerous and immeasurable way - my morning begins with this prayer of surrender and I attempt to live it throughout the day. 

what would You have me do today/

where would You have me go?

what should I say, 

and to whom,? 

and so my day begins.

I love you, Eric
