Grateful

Today I feel grateful.  This season affirms such a feeling.  I have experienced much provision.  I have received much abundance.  This time of harvest has provided much sustenance at many levels.  I feel great contentment and peace.  There is a simplicity in my life that feels joyful.  Today the glass is more than half full.  It feels like this has been a long time in coming.  And it could only happen with my openness.  Life is waiting to fill us up.

"Perhaps you have a rheostat for your dining room chandelier.  If so, you know that when you turn it up, you receive more light and power.  When you turn it down, light is diminished.  There is no miracle involved.  The full power is there all the time--you are the one who is controlling the level.  A turned-down rheostat might symbolize faith in lack; a turned-up rheostat, faith in abundance."
