Spirit Rising Ministries

I’d like to share a story about a compliment I received – not to brag, but to illustrate a point.

                  I have a lovely neighbor that I stop and chat with on occasion when I’m out walking. We don’t see each other often, but there always seems to be a nice connection between us. During a recent conversation, she said, “There is something about you . . . what is it about you? I know!” she said. “Whenever I see you, it feels like I see God smiling.”

 Putting my ego aside (yes, it took a while to do that!) I started thinking about the deeper meaning of what she said. A Course in Miracles says that the Kingdom of Heaven isn’t just within us. It says that the Kingdom is us! We are each part of the light of God that is shining in this world. So, perhaps, we need to stop waiting for God to smile upon us and let Him smile through us instead. The world will be better for it.

 Let your spirit soar!
