September 15, 2023 The lesson of Appreciation

“As always, I say thanks to Jesus for a goodnight, and a New Day to love.

 

In the morning stillness, I felt Jesus’ presence, love and peace.

 

Beloved,

Today, I will tell you how to count your blessings and say Thank You.

 

Only the USA and Canada have set up a day you call Thanksgiving Day, the purpose of that setting is to express and show appreciation to God, and let God know how much you love HIM.

 

Appreciate LIFE in all its aspects and forms, even in inanimate objects.

 

When you say thanks, you get in touch with God, and let Him know how much you appreciate his gifts.

 

First appreciate your body that helps you to perfect your soul.

As God gave you a body, appreciate it and care for it.

 

Thank God for all the comfort you have today, the highways,  freeways you rode everyday in your car. Think about how strenuous to walk day in and day out like me and my apostles through the dusty roads in Galilee and Judea 2,000 years ago.

When you drive, talk to your car, how much you appreciate it for helping you to move faster from one place to another. Even inanimate objects will perform better with appreciation.

God gives life in everything on earth. The wood, the rocks , the metals, all have live force.

 Even the plants in your garden, they have their own life force. Appreciate them when they give you fruits or flowers, water them, feed them with love, talk to them and you will see the results.

 

As God gave you a home, thank God and keep it clean. Even when you do menial things like mopping the floor or doing dishes, thank God for still giving you the ability to move and doing the homework.

 

God gave you friends, appreciate their friendship, cultivate it. Let your friends know that you love them.

 

God gave you a spouse, appreciate him or her at each moment of your life, tell him or her how much you love him or her by kind words you talk, and helping hands you do.

 

Last but not least, say thanks to your spirit, your inner core,  the most precious gift God gave to you that will live eternally. Appreciate God's great Wisdom and His Great Love when He gave you that great gift for free.

 

Appreciate God in all things that He gave you, and remember the most important lesson for you today is to become One with God.

 

Remember Francis of Assisi, a great soul and His Peace Prayer:

“Where there is strife, let me sow peace.

Where there is hate, love

Where there is sadness, happiness…”

 

Dear child,

Not only set up a day each year for thanksgiving, but every day of your days must be a thanksgiving day to God.

 

Dear Jesus,

O, how beautiful this lesson of Appreciation and Thanksgiving You gave me this morning. I am so grateful for everything You gave me, especially Your LOVE.

"Dear Jesus, let me know You, and let me know myself. Knowing You, please help me to listen to You and practice what you command. Knowing me, to change my way into your righteous one, to have Heaven right in my heart and let You be with me forever.

AMEN".
