THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

nay we focus on being as spiritual as we can.

HONORING CREATION

Twas the night before Christmas
and the story talks about all the
creations in the house.
All of creation has always been
a part of the story.

We are to honor the
animals,
all of creation,
that which we garden
that found in nature,
including all kinds of
plants.

We are to keep them
in our prayers,
to treat them with reverence,
to honor them,
to remember that they too
are creations of the Utmost one.
It is easy to honor those we value
and love.
It is easy to honor those who are
cute and cuddly,
those that are attractive and
whose beauty catches our eyes.

However, what about those like the snail,
the vole,
the weeds,
the creations of the Divine
we would like to forget
we are to care for and about

May we remember to
honor all of creation, and
pray that all of creation
Honor us

CULTIVATING REVERENCE

A friend of mine recently asked me who or what helped me cultivate a sense of reverence for life and for the world.  I have been sitting with this question for a while and I am still not sure how to answer it. I think in part it comes from the numerous near death experiences I have had. The first one being when I was born. I think there is something about knowing how fragile life is that makes you gain a sense of reverence for it.

Maybe in part it was my parents who had this affinity for growing things. My father’s domain was the garden and plants in the backyard. He was committed to growing fresh vegetables and fruits for our family. My mothers was the front yard and side of the house where she constantly worked on her flower beds, making sure they were weed free. They had stories to go with several of the trees in our yard. The weeping willow was planted, according to my father, the day they bought me home from the adoption agency.
