Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Spiritual power can be seen in a person’s reverence for life—hers and all others, including animals and nature, with a recognition of a universal life force referred to by many as God. — Virginia Satir
Taking the time, daily, to recognize the spiritual force in everyone and everything that is all about us encourages us to feel humble, to feel awe. Reflecting on our inter connections, our need for one and all to complete the universe, lessens whatever adversity we might feel as we struggle with our humanity.
Our spiritual power is enhanced with each blessing we give. And as our spiritual power is enhanced, life’s trials are fewer. Our struggle to accept situations, conditions, and other people, or our struggle to control them, lessens every day that we recognize and revere one another’s personhood, one another’s existence.
I can teach myself reverence, and I can begin today. I will look for “the Spirit” everywhere, and l will begin to see it.
