In this season of
thanks for our abundance, we have plenty to be thankful for. This week in the
homes of our American friends, pies will cool on racks and kitchens will be
filled with the fragrances and aromas of anticipation.
Hearts will be glad as
families reunite and share the celebration together. It’s not often we have the
chance to enjoy complete contentment.
My husband and I have
just undergone our annual physical checkups and are lucky to be hale and healthy.
For that I am truly thankful. Declining health is a difficult taskmaster. In
the developed world most of us have access to excellent medical care, but we cannot
purchase good health.
So should we be
content with what we have? Is it greedy to ask for more?
Hard on the heels of
Thanksgiving comes the season of razzamatazz and for some a feeling of lack.
There never seems to be enough money for the things we want for ourselves and
our family members and friends.
Two years ago, I asked
for more, even though I had plenty. I asked for the blessing of creative
expression as I embarked on a new career as a writer.
You know what they say. Ask and
ye shall receive.
Spirit listened and I
did receive. This week I am extremely thankful to have reached a milestone of
40,000 books sold in the last two years.
Readers enjoy my books—exactly what I
asked for.
In the coming weeks we
can ask for our credit and debit cards to go through okay, or we can ask for
blessings like good physical and mental health, energy, vitality, creativity.
If you don’t get it, at least you tried!
