Dear Friend,

Here is something to not only “think about” but seeds to contemplate or meditate on as you go about your busy lives today.  We’re all are, I would I guess, endeavoring to become a truth unto ourselves (if we’re not already there) “so that wherever we are, we RECOGNIZE the presence of God…” and see the God in other beings.  “Thoughts, words, and acts are seeds sown, and, by the inviolable law of things, they produce after their kind.  Above life’s turmoil, thoughts are powerful as are our actions.  Words too are powerful.  I put effort into using words to uplift, bring light, encourage and empower but words can be dream-killers also.  You know the old adage, “It’s not what you say — it’s how you say it.”  Well, it’s true.  I say it’s true because it is for me.  I learn a lesson in that area every single day in my journey here on planet earth.  In the not too distant past, I used many dream-killer words, not really giving thought to the words that I spoke to myself as well as to others.  Like, when asked, “How is life treating you?”  My response would sometimes be like, “My life sucks, right now,” or when challenges were coming every which way, “When it rains it pours.”  Mm, but now I have learned (am still learning) that when speaking in that manner, I was only manifesting more of those thoughts into my world and as I look back, I now realize the truth was that I got more of those thoughts that I turned into words and my life reflected it.  

Blessings,

Brenda
