Daily Question, March 16

The ground beneath me, the air around me – what is one other thing that is always here that I may have forgotten to be grateful for?

  • Isa Danelatos

    Air – breathing is a miracle.

  • Dawn Noel

    My heartbeat. And language; that allows me to understand and express matters of the heart.

  • GCharlotte

    The air above me the ground beneath me is gracious while also I am grateful for being conscious.

  • Tahsin Tabassum

    Food

    this life

  • Javier Visionquest

    Possibilities. Times of crisis are evolutionary springboards.

    I haven't been on the site for a few days and I've missed all of your inspiring posts. While I have made many "mistakes" (or are they?) in my life, I'm grateful to have landed where I have landed. In this time of crisis, as I care for an adult child, I have a roof over my head, enough food and a small steady income. I think about the millions in our country and elsewhere who are being thrown out of work temporarily by the virus crisis--most often low-paid service workers on whom we depend ...

    I haven’t been on the site for a few days and I’ve missed all of your inspiring posts. While I have made many “mistakes” (or are they?) in my life, I’m grateful to have landed where I have landed. In this time of crisis, as I care for an adult child, I have a roof over my head, enough food and a small steady income. I think about the millions in our country and elsewhere who are being thrown out of work temporarily by the virus crisis–most often low-paid service workers on whom we depend every day. How are they to survive? Why are they the sacrificial lambs? Perhaps this crisis will bring about some fundamental changes in how we operate–but I wouldn’t count on it. That would be something to be grateful for.

    Our public broadcaster, CBC (I’m audaciously assuming it will always be here) Actually, I haven’t forgotten to be grateful for it but during these days of pandemic even more so.

    • BabaYaga

      Yay, Elaine. I’m with you. Gotta love CBC!!

    • Mica

      Yes! I’m trusting my TV service to be there for me. Am worried about internet, tho, with Everyone going to school on it now – my 10 and 13-yr-old granddaughters even. I clicked a link about virus testing and got something about no server being available[?]. Later the link worked, but I figure surfing the web isn’t something for me to do unnecessarily now.

    Drinkable water! I’m sad to see people carting vast quantities of water in little bottles out of Safeway, when the water in our taps is good.

    • Elaine

      I agree! We are blessed In most parts of British Columbia with excellent drinking water. And yet, consumption of water in single use plastic bottles is huge. Added to the absurdity is that some of that water is from local sources bottled by a corporation and sold back to us.

    Etheric VitalityThat which scientists have calculated to compose 92% of the Universe and composes (in various forms) 100% of the Universe.That life giving energy, invisible to the corporeal eyes, is what Josheua Emmanuel referred to in the prayer he taught his disciples calling it “our daily bread” and given / transmitted / only by the Grace of The Holy Spirit. Eastern teaching are openly aware of it and use that awareness in their daily life…but the Abrahamic tradition brush it off, not...

    And yet it is a primary defence again ALL viruses …biological and otherwise.

    God. Although I am more aware that he is always with me, I am not sure I am grateful enough for his unending guidance.

  • BabaYaga

    I may at times forget to be grateful for the wisdom expressed by writers and poets over the ages.
    C.S. Lewis, for instance, wrote words that pertain to COVID-19: “do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation.”

  • Katrina

    In reflection on today’s featured content from Bro. David, I am grateful for Guidance – always here, before, during and after the crisis. And I am grateful for miracles. They happen all the time, everywhere. Just have to look for them and maybe redefine what I mean by the word “miracle”.

  • Maryke

    Flowers, animals … sereneness, peace … just the feeling of existing in a world much larger than me. So many opportunities and new things to explore. I see light at the end of the tunnel.

  • reality

    The Sun, which is everything’s energy source, in one way or another (in this Solar System); at one point or another, at least. As well as higher powers betwixt Heavens and Earth. We are the Earth, the Sun, the air totally; I’m grateful for this chance to be so. Thanx for all you All do and have a good day ? reality

    My health, my prosperity, my loved ones. If you’ve ever lost a loved one, you’ve experienced the void they leave upon exit. Establishing a new normal in spite of that void and embracing memories in lieu of physical connection is required. The lessons learned from this experience should enhance our ability to embrace that which is irreplaceable and yet, for sanity’s sake, we often distance ourselves from that feeling of vulnerability over time until it presents itself again.

  • Trish

    God’s love is always around me. I may sometimes forget that or take it for granted and what a shame when that happens. Staying connected to the strength of this relationship brings treasures to my life.

  • Anneclaire

    “Air above me,
    Earth below me,
    Water around me,
    Fire within me,
    Forest before me.”

  • Hunter

    Water. Right now, where I live, the ice and snow are nearly melted, and the sound of running water is everywhere. The ducks and geese are resting in the opened lake before they continue on their way north. And clean water comes out of my faucets.

  • Malag

    Windows! As I am spending more time within my four walls I appreciate that I can look out and the light can look in.
