"Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world."
~ John Milton
Today, we again open to reverence.
Today, let's pause and notice persons, places, objects, thoughts, sights, scents, sounds...all the things that trigger both large and little uplifts in us.
And, let's aim to deeply appreciate those joyful feelings as well as all the things that stirred the joy response in us. And,
give thanks.
And, without a speck or smidgen of entitled expectation because we have been grateful, let's simply be open and ready for "transcendent moments."
An epiphany may or may not happen today.
While we can easily find definitions of an epiphany, such as:
"a sudden manifestation or perception of the essential nature of something,
an intuitive grasp of
reality through something (such as an event) that is usually simple and striking,
an illuminating discovery, realization, or disclosure,"
there are no formulas or proven steps to experience one.
So, you may or may not experience one today, but they await you. You will encounter them exactly when you are ready or when you need them or when....I don't know but God does.
I do know that I am wishing you a
wonder-filled day.
With faith and gratitude for epiphanies,
Charlene
