Recently a number of things happened in my life that I felt were out of congruence with the spiritual way of living: My husband had an emergency appendectomy, and the bills were beginning to pile up. Many things were out of kilter and I couldn't figure out why.
Then friends and family came forward and supported us with their presence and their prayers. My husband recovered more quickly than was expected; our finances began coming into alignment with our consciousness of abundance, and we were grateful as we saw our life together as a blessing.
There is a story about a little boy who was expecting to receive his birthday present. He was led to a barn, but when he opened the door there was nothing but manure on the floor. The little boy yelled with excitement. He dashed into the barn and began digging through the manure. When he was asked what he was so happy about, he answered, "with all this manure there has to be a pony in here someplace!" He knew there was good in store for him. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. The good is always there. But we must know it to receive it. That is the secret. That is the way.
What can we do to change the direction of our lives and affairs? Our thoughts, words and belief are more powerful that we realize. When we think, believe it and absolutely know good is happening and in such a clear way that we can see it, we can create healing of our body and healing of our finances. As we think, so it is. As it was for the little boy when he expected a pony so clearly the pony absolutely had to be there and he knew it so completely that he was willing to dig through the manure. That is how we create healing, abundance and prosperity in our lives. We know it and see it so clearly that we act as if it already is. It is when we absolutely know that good is in store for us, when we know that in fact it is already there that we receive.
Even when things seem to go wrong in life, there is a meaning and a purpose behind the circumstances. Ask yourself, "Where's the pony in this situation?" Expect a blessing and it will come. Visualize money flowing into your life from various sources. Think about your bank statement with higher amounts than what is present at this moment. Make a vision board that displays pictures and words of what you want and need and how you want your life to be. The most important step of all is to give thanks for all of the good that is flowing into your life even before you see it. The universe supplies what we ask for knowing it is already there. It is the belief and the absolute knowing and trusting that creates it and makes it so.
AffirmationToday I look for the blessing in my experience. I know that God means everything for good and I see it as already done and complete and I give thanks for it.
