Prologue
Like
life, this blog keeps evolving.
This year we are making a slight switch from ‘Sunday Whispers’ to ‘Thought for Sunday’.
In
actual sense it’s merely a name-change -
because
‘thoughts’ are, in and by themselves, whispers from ether.
It’s not
even a strategic change -
We
did it on a whim, for no reason other than it sounded good and new.
And it's not original, either -
‘Thought
for Sunday’ was a Nation Newspaper column we loved reading growing up
written
by Lawrence Darmani.
We
still have some newspaper cuttings of the column. That’s how much we loved
them.
We all have someone who has shaped our spiritual path. Lawrence Darmani did it for us.
The
other person we loved listening to, from that era, was Rev. Dennis White
with
his ‘Christ is the Answer’ broadcast.
Who lite the path for you? Do you recall? Share your story. Let others know.
You
never know whose path you might be lighting up.
Now, back to this week’s Sunday reflection.
Christmas
was a wonderful and joyful season. We all looked forward to it.
Do
you recall your anticipations? How many of those came true?
If
you are like most of us, not everything went as planned or anticipated.
Are
you still hungry and angry for what didn’t happen?
If so, this week’s Sunday Reflection is your reminder that being constantly hungry is a prison.
It
means you are insatiable. And that isn’t good for you or your health.
It’s a reminder to embrace and cherish what happened, and release what didn’t happen.
Our
single and only path to being satisfied is being grateful.
Make
it a daily practice and your life will be full and joyful,
not
because you have it all, but because what you have feels good and enough.
The
same goes for your relationships, work and goals.
We begin
the year with lots of excitement, anticipation and hope,
But not
everything will go as we plan or want. But some of it will definitely happen.
Focus on celebrating that.
Wishing you the best in your gratitude practice this year.
May you find joy and fullness throughout, irrespective of how things turn out.
