There are days when it is really hard for me to be GRATEFUL. When I am challenged on different levels by my environment so much that I simply cannot find the Divine inside of me. I cannot focus within enough to see the Light beyond my own and others’ disturbance. When the only feeling I can identify is anger, even though I know the underlying emotion is pain, this is when the only ‘dealing with it’ for me is FORGIVENESS.
In the mist of my unbearable anger and frustration, I start changing and then drawing
I FORGIVE YOU FOR CHOOSING THIS EXPERIENCE!
The ‘FORGIVENESS’ is ONLY for me. It is not my job to FORGIVE others. Sometimes, I add:
“Father, please forgive them because they do not know what they do!”
Luke 23:34
As you can see, sometimes, when I create my GRATITUDE JOURNAL, I am actually expressing FORGIVENESS for the things that disturb me because I cannot find the way inside of me to be GRATEFUL for them.
WHEN I FORGIVE, I RELEASE MY DISTURBENCES caused by my experiences!
WEEKLY GRATITUDE JOURNALING CLASS
This is a fun and practical class. We do a short meditation and listen to songs of Gratefulness as we create a piece of artwork related to what we feel grateful for in that moment.
The class is FREE OF CHARGE, ZOOM link is sent upon registration.
As you can see from this video, creating a Gratitude Journal entry feels like being a child again. We are not creating a piece of artwork that needs to look neat and accomplished. We are creating these pictures because IT IS FUN!
