Recognizing an ever increasing swell of gratitude
for the Great Force of all life,
I live in loving appreciation for God
as my heart-felt blessing.
The light of awareness rises in my soul
as the sun over the horizon.
 
Feeling a deeper attunement with the Infinite,
I experience a higher response in me
to this deeper love.
 
The Divine Presence flows through me
strengthening my self-confidence.
This internal encounter fills me
with appreciation for the kindness of God.
 
My heart blossoms in exaltation.
I live an abundant life with far-ranging results.
As I slow down, I appreciate
the bounty of this universe which is mine to enjoy.
The beauty of God surrounds me
and I am moved to share abundance with others.
 
The channels of gratitude lead me out
of any conflict, distress or difficulty
by accessing inner peace
which resides at the core of my being.
Even unhappy events
reveal their blessings as I turn to love.
 
Finding time daily to say Thank You
for the big and small in my world
allows me to live in a state of grace.
 
I realize the whole world is a gift
and I am delighted to be it's recipient.
The more I enjoy the tangible feelings of gratitude,
the more reasons I find to be grateful.
