Daily Meditation for February 1

Good Morning!  Today is the first day of February and here is today's meditation.

 

February 1

 

You were there when I needed you.  You stood above all of the others with your strength and you guided me.  To each of you.  I offer my being, my love and all that I am.

--Deidra Sarault

 

Each of us is guided while we act as guides to one another, throughout the day, throughout our lives.  We are interdependent.  Everywhere we look, someone is learning from us and we from her/him.  We often know not what we give, when we give it.  And we seldom realize the value of what we're receiving at the time we accept it.

Resistance to what another person is offering us may be our natural response.  But the passage of time highlights the value of the experience.  We can look for the comforters in our lives.  They are there offering us strength and hope enough to see us through any difficulty.

We need both the rough times and the soft shoulders of a friend.  They contribute equally to the designs our lives are weaving.  The rough times press us to pray, to reach out to others for solace.  And our pain gives others the chance to heal our wounds.  We are all healers offering strength.  And we all need healing.

Blaringly Blunt:  As a parent, I must remember my son is learning from me.  He is watching my actions, expressions and listening to my tone of voice when I speak and to whom I speak.  There are hurts I must set aside if I am going to show him the way we are meant to act toward others.  Yes, I falter and as I do, I will apologize to him and tell him how I could have done things differently.  Today is a day I must put my painful feelings aside for another person he adores, be the good example and simiply smile as I assist him in doing something kind and thoughtful.

 

May Peace, love and light guide you, always.
