Seemingly Small Acts

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” - Dr. Leo Buscaglia

I can never underestimate the power of ...love. That’s what each of these acts referred to by Dr. Buscaglia is about. And, I know from personal experience that it is true.

Loving, caring friends and strangers alike have touched my heart deeply over the years. They were channels of love from God, sent to help me know that I was cared about and not alone. And, they helped turned my life around, including coming to believe in Spirit.

I can never underestimate the power of Love, the power of God. I am grateful.

Healing

I’m still in rest mode and slow gear as written about yesterday. In that mode, whatever daily routine I have has been cast to the wind. Yesterday I did not have my usual morning cup of decaf, Rog and I watched a Conscious Media Network video at 7 AM, then followed that with a movie on a related subject. I also took a long nap during the day and went to bed early in the evening.

And, I didn’t read yesterday’s Daily Word until this morning.

I just had to smile (good for healing) when I saw the topic. God not only has a sense of humor but surely has Its way of assuring me that It is around by providing synchronistic occurrences. For Wednesday evening we’d watched a video in which David Wolfe spoke about Superfoods, which offer tremendous dietary and healing potential, and the Daily Word on Thursday was about healing. Think there’s a message here for me?!

Here’s the Daily Word from Thursday, July 30, 2009:

HEALING
I am whole and well in mind and body.

Wholeness is my natural state as an expression of God. I affirm strength, health, and well-being and restore vitality to every part of my being.

As I breathe deeply, I inhale oxygen-rich air that restores the cells of my lungs. I appreciate the wondrous workings of my body and give thanks for its ongoing restoration. I open my mind and heart to inspiration and guidance so I know how best to take care of myself.

I eat nutritious foods prepared in healthful ways, and I exercise regularly, toning and strengthening my body. I am an expression of God, and I take care of myself--body, mind, and soul.

"Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body."- Proverbs 16:24"


P.S. We did go out today and buy some raw, high energy foods.
