November, of course, is the month for ‘Giving Thanks’. Giving thanks for all the wonderful things you have – experiences in life, thoughts, feelings, relationships, family, career, peace of mind and a joyful heart. Truly it’s about Giving Thanks for life! And Being in Gratitude is Thanks Enough! It’s the stuff miracles are made of.
To be in Gratitude is to exist in a place of being grateful. In other words to completely embody, with every breath, every step, every glance, thankfulness for all we are, have and will be. When I think of being in gratitude I’m reminded that when I awake, no matter how I feel, I’m grateful to be facing a new day. Sure enough, the inclination when I am feeling tired, not wanting to wake up as I gaze upon a long day without the energy to get through it, is to complain and grumble as I stumble into the bathroom. It doesn’t take long though to allow the essence of gratitude to move through me, like a wave crashing upon the shore. That’s when I hear the words, “Lynne, be grateful for this day! Be grateful you have another opportunity to laugh, love, serve and be at peace.” When that energy starts to move through me I awaken to the vibration of being grateful, of being thankful for Divine Source blessing me for yet another moment, another hour, another day!
To resonate in the beingness of gratitude is to live in a state of higher consciousness where miracles happen continuously; miracles that come about because gratitude beckons to the Universal Laws, requiring them to extend their honest presence. The act of gratitude opens a door, and what rushes in is the Law of Attraction, the Law of Belief, the Law of Abundance, the Law of Vibration, the Law of Frequency, the Law of Growth, the Law of Allowance, the Law of Non-Resistance and more. Every law, although independent in its energy resonance is absolutely co-dependent on each other to bring about desired manifestations or miracles. Gratitude starts the ball rolling and yet it’s such a simple act to express and feel thankfulness.
How often are you thankful for everything in your life – even with those experiences you may consider to be negative or bad? The truth is, it’s important to be grateful for those up setting moments too. Those experiences are lessons for learning, moving you closer to the essence of living life from miracle to miracle. With practice and a deeper level of awareness, you will come to the place of raising your arms in open praise, to heaven, and say “Thank You God!” because you will be overcome with the presence of gratitude. And then you’ll get it, you’ll understand that all things in the universe work toward your highest good! Just imagine, if you are in gratitude, particularly during the worst moments in life, how fantastic you will feel when you are exuberantly grateful for those circumstances you reveal in. Being in gratitude is thanks enough especially when it’s the trigger for expanding into a miraculous life!
