Centered Withing My Higher Power

We find that as we become more centered
within the Higher Power part of us,
our ego becomes less real, less threatening, less compelling.

--Jerry Hirshfield

It's a struggle at times for me to remember that my Higher Power never moves away.
God is as close as my breath, awaiting my invitation to take charge.
Frequently this strikes me as new information.
But each time a friend or a particular reading triggers my recall; I relax, because I know that God is taking over.
Once again I trust that all is well.

Patience

Patience is a particular requirement.

Without it, you can destroy in an hour

what it might take you weeks to repair.

--Charlie W. Shedd

Enjoying the moment, in its fullest, makes possible a peaceful and patient pace.
Progress is guaranteed if my mind is centered in the present, on the only event deserving of my attention.
I can be certain that error and frustration will haunt me if my attention are divided.

Patience slows me down long enough to notice another, and to be grateful for the gifts of the moment.
Patience promises me the power to move forward with purpose.

Today's fruits will be in proportion to my patience.
