Each morning during my quiet time I read from the Science of Mind Magazine. This morning I found a wonderful article and wanted to share some excerpts from my reading. The article - Everything Matters - is basically assuring us that everything we do matters, no matter how large or small. It is a wonderful reminder to honor all of our work and to know that we make a difference, even in what we may consider our smallest act.
The article starts with a quote by Emerson, "...to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch... to know that one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." He then adds the following quote from Spiritual Liberation by Michael Beckwith, "The vibrational imprint of your character will be a legacy in every corner of the cosmos." Wow, the vibrational imprint of our character - it says nothing of accomplishments or fame or fortune - just our very character. The way we treat each other, the words we speak to each other, the love we show, the gifts we give - large and small.
I am reminded today that everything does matter; every thought, word, and deed is sacred and important and makes a difference. Everything matters!
People are very busy these days and they may not notice your acts of service but the father is watching and he appreciates us very much when we love each other and give back to our fellow man.It is most gratifying to have his love more than anything material because in the end man is not the one who will judge you but GOD will judge by your good acts as well as your bad acts of service.
