If we\u2019re in need of Joy we must look for it in the small and the scared moments of our everyday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we lose something we want to try to find it as soon as we realize that it is gone. We begin searching for it, we seek for what was hiding or lost for a period of time. Trying to find it is an adventure in itself, but we look forward to experiencing all of the the joy of being reunited with the loss thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same thing happens when we notice that we have lost some of our Joy. Challenges and difficulties come to all of us, but we can remember that when things are lost or gone, we can focus on LOOKING OR SEARCHING for the sacredness in the small moments. All we need is our full attention plus a little resolve to find some amazing beauty in our day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we focus on grows. We see what we want to see- and we create what we concentrate on the most. So if we want peace, love, miracles and blessings, we first have to decide to notice them. each moment is an opportunity for us to see the sacredness of that moment. We can focus our attention on finding the beauty, the good, the peaceful and the holy in each moment. There truly is beauty all around us if we choose to see it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to fathom that God would even want to be present in the mundane moments of our lives. But what if God is already in them? What if all those little tiny moments are like mosaic tiles made up of some sort of divine clay and paint? Each little moment is like an imprint of Gods love, His fingerprints are in the little moments of our lives. The artwork that we will become as we choose to focus on seeing the beauty in the little things. The hand of God and the sacredness of each moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a little mindfulness and taking a moment to be present in the here and now, we will be better able to see the little tiles of our mosaic which will catch our eye, fill our hearts, show us beauty and lead our way to joy. It\u2019s in the moments when we are aware of the divine that we can experience gratitude and we begin to find what we we\u2019re looking for. Joy begins to come in more abundantly and begins to cover us fully when we choose to focus on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can see it In the morning light, the bird on a limb, the thought of a loving friend, the kindness of a stranger. The bite of food, the soft shirt, the trusty car, the cleansing rain. The smile of a child, the spoon in the pot, the broom on the floor, the tear over loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The common miracle here is love- which always wants to be found. Love is all around us, so look! Really look for what you want to find and you will experience the joy of being reunited with the lost thing- the divinity in the small and sacred things of your everyday life, which were there all along. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, decide that beauty surrounds you today. Make it a point to seek and see the goodness and light that is all around you in the little moments. Watch carefully for beautiful moments and stay present where love is. You get to do this for yourself and you deserve to focus on love, peace and joy in the little moments of your day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God wants to remind you that He is aware of YOU. Of what you\u2019re going through. He is with you and will never leave you. He is here with you right now. You\u2019re not alone. Feel His love and allow yourself to be open to experiencing His full peace and love being poured abundantly over you in this very moment. He invites you to notice the sacred in each small moment and to find joy in Him daily. In the daily miracles of your life so that you may begin to see His mosaic of divine love for YOU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope that you can make it to class tonight at 6:00 pm to release stress, and to strengthen yourself mentally, physically and spiritually. Make & keep that promise to yourself. \ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffc\ud83e\udd70 You won\u2019t regret it but instead you\u2019ll leave feeling amazing, renewed and ready to do your best the rest of the week. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
