Everyday Knowing Reminder - Sunday Message April 18, 2010

As spring begins to emerge once again to renew mother earth, we too will look at ways, during the month of April, in which renewal manifests within our Everyday Life.


Life Renewed

As we discuss renewal and Life’s emergence within nature this month, I have been witnessing sickness and death in neighbors, friends and acquaintances. As I process these events during my favorite month, I became more aware of the cycles of Life.

Whether someone is sick, regained health, or has transitioned back to the One Presence/God, life is not over it is just renewing itself to a different experience. While we may label sickness or death as something we are not comfortable with, it is God’s way of preparing the soul’s for a new experience for each person involved. While these moments may come with sadness, confusion, and questions of why me, there is also the gift of renewal hidden among us.

It may be very difficult to see through the tears, yet, once we move through the event, we open our eyes to see what was there all along – the gift of our Life. No matter whom we choose to share our life with: spouse, children, pets… they are each on their own journey. Each journey is different and varied; each is an experience for God. While we are so attached to what we have and the relationships we create, it is the One Presence which connects us all. It is through this connection that we realize that there has not been a loss, but a transition into a different form, a different experience.

While we may not understand what that experience is in this moment, we lean into the space of God’s Presence, ever dwelling within us and surrender to God’s will, not our will. From this space of acceptance, Life becomes easier as we let go of our perceived control. Joy enters as we come to understand our co-creative abilities with the Universe. What happens to us is not what is important. It is how we respond to the joyful or tragic events in our life, that connect us to Life. We find a strength we thought we did not have. We find Love surrounding us that we thought did not exist. We find ourselves as we continue on our path of Life. It is through living our Everyday Life that our spirituality evolves and Life is renewed.
