Reblog: Garden of Gratitude

It’s so easy to get caught up in focusing on the negative, or all the things “wrong” around us. This blog post illustrates how valuable it is to get caught up in the good around us, instead.

 

Garden of Gratitude

by Patrick Collins

…He told me that on his morning trip next door four days after he began ‘deadheading”, as he gazed at the pots he noticed how brilliant and colorful the geraniums were. He suddenly realized that he had spent the first part of the week focusing on the dead flowers, looking intently for the “dead and gone” and what he could “bury”.   He realized that he had overlooked the beauty of the entire garden, and each individual plant by looking for death instead of life.

Prayer heals universally

This video interview got me thinking about prayer and how God operates.

It’s awesome to me, that it doesn’t matter that this man was praying in French; and it doesn’t matter that I pray in English. The universal law of God’s beneficial help apply to everyone, everywhere!

It doesn’t matter what language you speak, God hears your prayer. God knows when the heart speaks.

Through prayer, we becomes conscious of God.

When the human consciousness glimpses the pure, unconditional love of God, the benevolent will of God to man, and an understanding of how we are created in His image and likeness, there isn’t any fear, insecurity or uncertainty left. And consequently the mental foundation for disease is gone. And the disease can vanish as readily as it did for the man in this video.

It doesn’t matter if you are in America, France, Cambodia or any part of the globe, God knows when the heart speaks. And we know God hears us because we feel the presence of divine Love.
