I can savor this day by living in the present moment, taking nothing for granted and saying THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the gift of life. I am doing a 24 hour water fast and this will give me a good chance to be more quiet and savor this precious day! May God’s peace be with us all. β€π§ββοΈπ
Oh dear Kristi, your most beautiful and tender words have brought me to near tears! Yes, to be given the gift of another day filled with all possibilities! What greater gift could there be! I love life and I love ANGL! Thank you for “opening my eyes” to the precious gift that life is, to take nothing for granted and be grateful for it all(as Walter Starcke said, (“the flowers and the fertilizer”). Peace, love and blessings to all. ππ
Sending cards, texts, e-mails just to say hello, I love you and appreciate you. Getting up early when it is still dark out, it is so quiet and peaceful. Taking a walk outdoors, being in nature and seeing the wonder and beauty God has created and watching the changes from season to season. How abundantly blessed I am!πππ
Thank you for sharing this, Kerry! For many years I did not have communication with one of my brothers, because of very hurtful things his wife said to me and my parents. I could not get past the hurt and anger while my parents were alive, because I saw them hurting deeply. After my parents both died, I slowly reconciled my relationship with my brother and his wife. Now we are in frequent contact, even though we live in different states. I thank God while there was still time in the physical,...
Thank you for sharing this, Kerry! For many years I did not have communication with one of my brothers, because of very hurtful things his wife said to me and my parents.

Now we are in frequent contact, even though we live in different states. I thank God while there was still time in the physical, I was able to reconcile with my brother and his wife. I needed this experience for my growth. Sending love and blessings to all πππ§ββοΈπ

I hope and trust you can read what my heart is saying, that I am unable to put into words. Happy Birthday, dear Br. David ! I love you and everyone at ANGL πππ
Wow, this is so beautiful and inspiring and touches the heart and soul. The quote that stood out for me is, “I am me because of others”. THANK YOU from my heart Theo, Green Renaissance and Gratefulness Team!!! ππ
Just reading this, I can feel the loving energy that is present in the store! What a beautiful example Zee is! She allowed herself to be an instrument of Spirit and acted upon what Spirit was “calling ” her to do. Yes, “With God all things are possible “. Blessings to all.πβ€
This is SO beautiful! I have been thinking about the line, “There was nothing that wasn’t love”. Wow! It reminds me of a line I have read in more than one book, Ask yourself, “What would love do now”. So powerful! Thank you for this article! Blessings and love to all π¦’β€π
To be here on earth and having this human experience is such a gift! The beauty of life itself is overwhelming me with such a feeling of love and gratitude in my heart right now. How profoundly blessed I am! Thank you, God! Thank you ANGL! I love life! π¦’π·π
Dear Susan, what a beautiful essay this is! The first line,”the wild animals are lonely for us”, touched my heart! Occasionally I see deer where I walk and they offer such a sense of peace and serenity. Thank you so much for sharing your reflection! Bless you, Susan. π·π»π
Dear Adetola, this is so powerful, so inspiring and is a tremendous help to me! Thank you from my heart for sharing your story! God bless you. Peace and love, Sheila π¦’ππ
Dear Br. David, thank you so much for kindly sharing the wonderful quote by Ken Wilber and the beautiful music! I cannot tell you in words how much ANGL has profoundly transformed my life! I THANK YOU and I trust you can know what my heart is saying that words cannot express. God bless you, dear Br. David. Please know how much you are loved and appreciated! Peace, Sheila ππ
Joe, this is so beautiful! It made me think of the book I read by Al Gore, “The Inconvenient Truth”, I think was the name of it. It totally changed my shopping habits and made me much more environmentally responsible. Everything is connected and each choice we make matters. Thank you so much, Joe for sharing this inspiring reflection! It really “spoke”to me and touched my heart. Peace, love and blessings to all ππ»π
Dear Br. David, your very beautiful letter has brought me to near tears. When I say THANK-YOU, I hope and trust you can “hear” what my heart is saying. You are so very loved and appreciated. God bless you, dear Br. David. With love and a deeply grateful heart, Sheila πππ
I just came back from my walk. I saw a fuzzy caterpillar and watched with fascination as it crawled along the top of the curb and into the grass. I thought of this article and I said silently, “I am so grateful for the ability to see, that I am able to appreciate and be in awe, that I am able to walk and for this beautiful earth to walk upon.” This filled me with such love and joy. Thank-you again for this article! ππ¦π
I take a walk everyday and it is so enjoyable and healing! I do engage in gratitude when I walk, but this article has given me wonderful pointers to help me increase this. It is such a gift and blessing to be able to get out in Nature! Thank-you for sharing this article! Peace, love and blessings to all πππ·
Dear Imuetinyan, THANK-YOU from my heart for sharing your beautiful and inspiring story! It has impacted me profoundly. Oh yes, life is such a precious gift and every moment to be cherished. You are a beautiful example of what Br. David says, βLet the gratefulness overflow into blessing all around you.β I am going to share your story with others. Bless you, dear Imuetinyan. THANK YOU, again! ππ
Thank you for your kind reply, Kristi!π
Tom, it was so nice to hear from a fellow walker, thank-you for sharing your reflection. I can tell that your walk brings you the same healing and peace it does to me. Walking and being in nature is food for the mind and spirit. Continue to enjoy your walks Tom and basking in the love. Peace and blessings to you πππ¦π
