I pause in this moment to recognize Spirit, the life ever present, as the Life which expresses Itself as me. as well as through me.

This day I give thanks for this Life, recognizing that all have been chosen by Spirit to share Its bounty. The gifts of Spirit come alike to all and enrich all life. The gifts of love, compassion and joy are shared by all and given to all…………..in grace and joy. I celebrate the infinite dimensions of diversity in all races and my every experience is love and joyous expression, allowing me to deepen my relationship with the Presence within me and all life.

In deep and abiding gratitude I give thanks.

And so it is.
