It feels like every waking moment I am consumed with thoughts of Caren, her successes, her setbacks, her triumphs, her challenges. And, I've prayed. I've prayer not only for Caren, but for our whole family and how this healing journey has impacted our lives. I am open and receptive to answers, to dwelling in that sacred space within - where my treasures of hope and glory, love and understanding, compassion and patience - all reside.
Today, as I took mental and spiritual inventory, I found the following devotional to be an inspiring blessing. I share it with you, and trust that you are blessed as well.
As my friend Lauren would say, "Holy Shift!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A car with a manual transmission cannot move if it is not in gear. If I find myself pressing my foot on the gas pedal and spinning my wheels, shifting the gears will propel me forward.
Likewise, holding on to an attitude of insistence or resistance in my life will keep me stuck. Through prayer, I access the wisdom and clarity to know how to shift gears and change.
To rise from blame, upset, or frustration, I adjust my attitude. I let go and forgive. I use my energy in positive ways—uplifting, encouraging, and looking for the best in myself and others. These shifts help me gain a higher spiritual perspective and move me steadily forward.
