Views from Raven's Nest: Daily Reminder # 654

Think it's a good day for a message from God and Neale Donald Walsch. I though this one was really good and something I need to hear. I'm guessing I'm not alone in that. The old ideas about ourselves are so hard to shake, though. For some of us - well for all of us - we are programmed from birth to view ourselves in certain ways. And I think there is also a genealogical component to it, something passed down from generations past. Whatever, it's hard work to change your mind about yourself. I've been trying to catch myself with my "I am" statements. Wayne Dyer has a new program and talks about God's name being "I AM THAT I AM." and how every time we say the words "I am," we are speaking God's name, so that we should be very thoughtful about what we say after those two words. I also believe that our minds and bodies listen to what we tell them. Another reason it's important to be aware of what you say following the words "I am...." Anyway...

On this day of your life, dear friend,

I believe God wants you to know...

...that you can remain in your present

idea about yourself, or you can choose again.

I like the idea of choosing again.

Glorify who you are today,

do not condemn who you were yesterday,

and dream of who you can be tomorrow.

You will not have to think for more than a second to

know exactly why you just read this...

Love, Your Friend....

Some things I'm grateful for today: (Items in red are pre-gratitude an effort to open my heart and life to the Creative Forces of the Universe and to learn to be comfortable with the idea of abundance.... and hopefully having done so to actually manifest some....)
