Imagination
Beloved God who fills my heart with a song of love, I thank you for each glimpse of divinity, each spark of a divine idea, each opportunity to choose again, to see anew, to remember to see with Your eyes.

Joyful Work
The topic this week was gratitude and work, and I found this quote especially meaningful for me, since I start a new job tomorrow.
~ Paul Ferrini, The Silence of the Heart
"There are hundreds, if not thousands of ways, in which you can cheat yourself and work out of sacrifice or duty. There are just as many ways in which you can cheat others and work out of impatience and greed. Be aware of the many subtle ways in which you can betray yourself and/or others. Do not settle for the rewards the world would give you. Material wealth, name and fame will not bring you happiness. Only work that is joyful will bring you happiness. Only work that is joyful will bring happiness to others. Do not think that happiness can come from sacrifice or struggle. The means must be consistent with the ends. The goal unfolds through the process itself."
