THE JOY OF LIVING.

Enjoy life NOW!

It occurred to me the other day how important it is to pray,

to make morning aspirations.

We probably all have different methods. For some of us it’s the traditional morning offering and morning prayers - an awareness of God’s presence and having an ‘alive’ relationship with Him.

Others may be drawn to positive affirmations, a method of abolishing all negative thoughts and worries.

Whatever method we like to use will be the one that opens us to a positive respect and appreciation for the joy of living.

It’s so easy to lose this appreciation for life. We know we must always have respect for others, yet often the person we may lack respect for is ourselves.

Do we begin the day in a mad rush to get somewhere? Have we no time to say hello - give or receive a hug - answer a question, politely - give way on the road?

So many little things are forgotten about or overlooked when we neglect to have time for ourselves, and for each other. The awful truth - for one of us, this will be the beginning of our last day. There won’t be a tomorrow. There won’t be time to say sorry - to change - to love.

Time is so precious and yet we can often behave as though it was limitless.
For the spiritual mind, there is an after-life - a bond between this world and the next where minds can still communicate, yet we no longer will have the ability for hugs and kisses and shared laughter.
NOW is the best time for appreciating the joy of living!
