Rise each morning, always with a prayer to God on our lips. Usually, for me it’s a prayer of thanksgiving for a beautiful life with my wife of 57 years. Then I eventually get around to the prayer of healing for those I know in need of the help that only God can give with the understanding that all help ultimately comes from God. I ask God for forgiveness for everything that I have not done nor what I am unable to do for those less fortunate than I am. I may have been a teacher or working at another low-wage job, but that really does not excuse me for forgetting that in my spiritual journey, I cannot forget or overlook others.
We must forgive others! Even those who we try to care for and need our forgiveness, for, in our daily lives, we do hurt each other, unknowingly. This is why we all need to forgive each other. God reminds us in our prayers that forgiveness of all types always heals. . . heals others and heals ourselves. When we forgive, God fills us with gladness in our hearts for everything we are blessed to experience. Our spiritual journey becomes the picture of Love that God creates for us live by in our daily relationships with others. We are all part of God’s Spirit.
