Connected
+++++++++++++++++++
You are alive in this moment. And you are connected to all of life.
You cannot take undue advantage of others without also hurting yourself in some way. You cannot help others without also lifting up your own life.
The connection is strong and impossible to break. When you give your best to life each day, you experience the best that life has to offer.
When you think and act respectfully, you are respected. When you offer real, unconditional love, you are loved.
When making your choices in each moment about what to say, what to do, what to value, what to discard and what to work for, remember this. You are connected to it all.
Value, appreciate, honor and make the most of that connection. What is good for all of life is very good for you.

Matthew 11:1-6
“And it came about that when Jesus had finished giving instructions to His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.”
“Now when John in prison heard of the works of Christ, he sent word by his disciples, and said to Him, “Are You the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?”
“And Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you hear and see: the blind receive sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.”
“And blessed is he who keeps from stumbling over Me.” Matthew 11:1-6 (NAS)
Psalm 65:5-8
“Thou dost visit the earth, and cause it to overflow; Thou dost greatly enrich it; the stream of God is full of water; Thou dost prepare their grain, for thus Thou dost prepare the earth.”
“Thou dost water its furrows abundantly; Thou dost settle its ridges; Thou dost soften it with showers; Thou dost bless its growth.”
“Thou hast crowned the year with Thy bounty, and Thy paths drip with fatness.”
“The pastures of the wilderness drip, and the hills gird themselves with rejoicing. The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered with grain; they shout for joy, yes, they sing.” Psalm 65:5-8 (NAS)
