Life is Good......ALL THE TIME!

As I look at the title I just wrote, I smile. Life is Good. Yes, it is good; however, it is so much easier to see the good when all is going well. When everything is unfolding just as you want it to, ah, so good. When there is enough money in the checking account to meet all financial contracts, ah, so good. When perfect health is your experience, ah, so good. I could go on and on.

The Good can be more challenging when events happen that challenge your peace of mind. When unexpected expenses pop up, thoughts of lack can sneak in the back door of your mind and bring along feelings of fear. A visit to a physician with a result less than ideal may upset the apple cart even more. Where is the good then?

The past 10 days have brought up a lot of what is written in the above paragraph. And I must admit, I've been thrown for a loop as a result. Garage doors, dentists, cars, veterinarians. They have all come into my life for a reason. I'm not sure what that reason is but it has been very thought provoking.

The feelings of lack and limitation that have plagued me for many years of my life want to sneak into my consciousness and take residence again. Not gonna happen! Yes, the expenses have been unbelievable; however, I am working and know that when there is a void, it must be filled. There is definitely a void in my bank account. I'm just wondering how the void will be filled.

The past few months have been months when I have consciously surrendered each day to the Presence of God. For someone like me who prefers being in complete control, this is quite a stretch. Maybe that is the lesson in all the recent experiences and expenses.

Do I really believe (know) that my good is at hand? Do I really believe (know) that as I ask, I receive? This is the time when I must stay focused on Divine Truth. This is the time to spend more time in meditation, affirmative prayer, and mindfulness. Thoughts that negate my good must be eliminated as soon as they crop up. Just like those pesky weeds that pop up in a flower garden, those pesky thoughts must be pulled out and discarded.

My affirmations for today and every day during this challenging time shall be as follows:

I am so happy and grateful right now for the Divine Good that is manifesting in my life. 

I am so happy and grateful right now for the monetary blessings that are already on their way to me.

I am so happy and grateful right now for perfect health and mental clarity. 

I am so happy and grateful right now for the realization that LIFE IS GOOD!

And so it is!

Namaste,

Mareda
