When the Birds Sing Grat-it-ude

Essential meaning: gratitude as the essential power of manifestation, the Law of Praise, saying thanks in advance of goodness

Right now, you’re being reminded of the quickening power of the Law of Praise. Saying “thank you” before actually receiving those good things you desire in life is a magical, sacred act. You may have been taught to say grace over your food, blessing it and giving it thanks for nourishing your body. Most people know to say thank you after receiving something, expressing gratitude for what they have already. This is a conditional gratitude; you need the result to be there and complete before you feel it.

The true manifesting power of gratitude is the declaration in advance of your needs being met. You do not need to rely on anything being in the outer world before you express appreciation for it. Saying thank you is the abracadabra of life. It calls beauty and grace to you, reminding you of your humility. As part of life, you are a grain of sand on a beach, blessed to live this brief time on Earth.

Gratitude is the key to your question right now. Can you be thankful for whatever happens? Can you show appreciation for the highest good of all and not just for yourself? Can you see this adventure called life through the eyes of gratitude, humility, and kindness?

Yes, be thankful for all that you have experienced up until now, all your loved ones, fresh air, the food on your plate. Be grateful for the divinity in you. Look around you-all things are sacred. Praise what you see and what you don’t see yet. Miracles are waiting for you to call them to life.
