Gratitude will soften your heart.
Dear Friend,
When invited to offer a prayer at a Thanksgiving dinner some years ago, I gave thanks for all the plants and animals who had given up their physical forms for our meal. I thanked Mother Earth for supporting and nurturing the animals and plants, and Father Sun for helping them grow and be healthy. I thanked all the Nature Spirits for their roles in assisting them all to grow and mature. I thanked all the people who had grown and harvested, prepared, transported, and sold these goodies to the family who created the meal. I thanked the family for inviting me to be part of their celebration of gratitude. And I thanked the Divine Self of All, Infinite Consciousness, for supporting and loving everyone.
Gratitude can be a daily spiritual practice. Gratitude is a powerful way to open up, heal, and soften your heart. Each being, each situation that appears in your life has enormous potential to expand your consciousness, to free you from being stuck in limitation, and to bring you joy, bliss, and contentment.
So today, I am especially grateful to all the people who come to me for assistance with their animals and with their personal transformation. This is my true Soul's purpose for this lifetime, and you are assisting me to fulfill it. Each person, human or animal, who comes into my life is my teacher, and I bless you and thank you for all the lessons.
Namaste, Nedda
