God, what would you have me say and do today? Treat others the way you would like to be treated.... Live into this today. Extend it from moment to moment. Let it inform each encounter. Imagine that everything you say to others is being said to you. Speak not from the standpoint of your problems, worries, and fears, but from your love, hope and faith. Imagine that all you do to others is also done to you. Be guided not by your ego, agenda, or ambitions but by your care for the joy and well being of others. You will deepen the well of compassion you draw from, increase the sensitivity of your soul, and expand your spirit in new ways. What a gift to give yourself today. Do you want it?

God, what would you have me say or do today? Do what brings peace. Let your words bring peace.... Now here comes the tricky part. You do not know what will bring peace to another; you must trust my guidance. You also might not know what will bring you peace. The only real peace is found in total surrender - to divine wisdom, love and care. Only I can hold your uncertainty, pain, and doubt and transform them to perfect peace. To act peacefully is to serve me. To speak peacefully is to let go of your ego and allow a higher mind to emerge. Let divinity in today...and peace will come out. Will you do this?

God, what would you have me say and do, or be like in the world today? Let your spirit rise to meet every situation with grace. Live this day with humility... and in peace. Bring a spirit of love and fellowship to all. Remember that you are the face and body of divinity. Your words reveal me. I move through you, and in you-as you. Be my grand ambassador of love and peace today. From Power for Life: Inspirational Guidance for Daily Living David Preston Sharp

Day 11: On more than one occasion, Hezekiah’s linguistic proficiencies proved invaluable.

Day 10: Balthazar refused to even consider the claim that Gaspar’s kale chips tasted just like Pringles.

God, what would you have me say and do today? Practice the art of taking your time. Do not rush anything or rush through anything.... Let each event have its own life. Pay attention to even the small details, and allow all your activities to speak to you and give you their gifts. Watch how you live today, and move at a pace conducive to your mind as much as you can. Do not think much on any one thing unless it be the gift of your life or the beauty and majesty of creation. Follow the air in through your nose and down into your lungs as you inhale. Marvel at this life-giving act and give thanks. Fill the atmosphere around you with gratitude as you exhale. Take your time today. Relax, and embrace your life moment by moment. From Power for Life: Inspirational Guidance for Daily Living David Preston Sharp

God, how would you have me be in the world today? Be ready to support anyone who needs your assistance today.... That means opening your heart and allowing your own agenda and plans to wait if necessary. Selflessly serving another is a spiritual act. When you genuinely give yourself to another's cause without judgement, you practice unconditional love. Today, breathe in love, breathe out service...and be ready. Sometimes, serving means staying out of the way, giving space, or being quiet. At other times it means paying close attention and offering whatever is needed. As you extend your giving heart today, feel my love emanating. Enjoy me smiling in you as you assist and support others. Are you willing to do that today?
