THANKS GIVING

Today's Thankful Wisdom:

My children and children in the general sense are one of the greatest occurrences to be thankful for. They are a shining example of not only what is most beautiful in life, but what is the future and possibilities for us all if we but have our eyes open to it!

Not a parent alive, even if living in apparent mental misery, can look at his/her newborn and not be uplifted to higher planes with sympathy, love, admiration, and pure joy of their child. They are a reminder of all that is beautiful, pure, and correct or perfect. We are born as perfect as those who create us.

And as such, it is a reminder of what we are capable of. The endless possibilities and greatness that each and every one of us are capable of. The knowledge and clear fact that so many of us "educated adults" seem ignorant and stupid of. Immature of in a supposedly mature body. As the new born we say lacks strength enough to even raise it's own body physically. Strength to hold very little if anything at all. Conscious intelligence to speak words consisting of the fewest syllables. Inability to care for itself functions needed to sustain life. Needing much help that it cannot give back in the same capacity.

Yet we do not think this child pitiful. We do not think this newborn worthless or incapable. NO! The contrary. We know the possibilities. We dream of them. We visualize them. We give whatever we may to make sure they come true. We have strong desire to nourish and encourage what we know is possible. We know that this child that cannot lift itself today may lift others tomorrow, both physically and mentally. That while weights today barely weighing at all can be held, tomorrow hundreds of pounds may be lifted by this baby. While today not even the smallest word can be spoken, tomorrow words with feeling enough in them may be spoken by this same infant that can move hundreds, thousands, even millions or billions in an enlightened direction. That the care you give this child today that it cannot return to you, tomorrow it may return not only to you, but to many, many others. We know that everything we dream, though conscious mind telling us this child is weak today, can be accomplished tomorrow according to a higher mind we possess. We do not doubt or question it. We know it possible, and we know this child, it's own individual is capable of even more than we ourselves (individual) believe with it's own dreams and individual courage.

So today I give Thanks for such a wonderful existent and suggest that we not forget that though we think ourselves "grown" that we came into this existence as such a baby. And though we may have children ourselves now, ask ourselves have we forgotten that what is true of our children still remains true of ourselves?

My Kindest Regards, Love, and Thanks to ALL
