Today I claim the gifts forgiveness give.

“I seek but the eternal.” (2.1)

In reflection on this thought, I considered how I’ve let go of calling myself a seeker. I think that this is because I have had many questions answered since the start of my journey. And, that I know God will bring answers for more questions that may come up. My putting emphasis or effort into seeking is no longer needed. I see now that I was seeking to understand myself in this world and myself in relationship to God. This was a worthy task but my questions and curiosity were based on the idea that I was separate.

I seek but the eternal.

This seems to me to be another realm of exploration.

“I will not wait another day to find the treasure that my Father offers me.” (1.1)

Welcome. I open the door. 
There You stand with Your gifts in baskets laid at my threshold. 
Will You not come in? 
He smiles as we both recognize the ease with which I asked. 
Not today for the world is in need.

Please give me a moment more to stand with you; 
a few breaths, sharing His light and peace. 
I bend over to gather the baskets into my arms. 
I am filled as I close the door once again.

Your treasures are mine. 
How shall I display them in this life? 
Open my heart to shine my light, our light, onto the world in need.

“I will not wait another day to find the treasures that my Father offers me.” (1.1)

I’m still basking in the glow of the lessons and declarations of gratitude from the 11-24 webinar (Thanksgiving Day). So many gifts were given then are now a treasure granted to me.

The gifts of forgiveness are many: clarity, healing, feeling love flow, connection to others, nearness to God, gratitude, brightness, wisdom.

This list shows me that forgiveness heals all parts of us: body, mind, spirit, and emotions.

I choose the peace of God today.
