Spiritual Awakening: The Power Of Gratitude!!!
I woke up today (5/15/2020) and it was raining as I am continuing to shelter in place due to The COVID-19 Crisis. I did what I do each day as my feet hit the floor I looked to the heavens and said Thank You GOD for giving me another day to be of service and value to others. As I started to get dressed I started to think about just how powerful gratitude is while you are experiencing a spiritual awakening. The power of being thankful for what you have allows you to attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. On Wednesday (5/13/2020) I went to volunteer at a food distribution site and upon my arrival I was told by a police officer that they were all set with volunteers however to come back and they would give me some food. I said thank you and went about my way. I went back and was given chicken strips, apples, and squash. I said thank you and this seemed to bring more positivism into my day. As I put the food away I started to pray and give thanks to GOD, Jesus, and The Angels. It was in this moment that I realized the power of gratitude for each time I have been grateful I have been able to experience bliss and abundance.
As I sat in reflection today (5/15/2020) I was awakened to the fact that instead of being upset about people not going to http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2020 and making donations to help those touched by cancer I should be grateful to those who have visited the site and focus on the fact that people are assisting in the effort to help those touched by cancer. The same message was given to me about www.paypal.me/jdogg8265 which is a place where people can visit and make love donations to support my effort to be of service and value to others while staying afloat during some financially challenging times. Instead of focusing on those who didn’t help and being disappointed I decided to show gratitude and be happy knowing that there are many caring people who will give. IN shifting perspectives I have truly seen my days improving despite all that is happening around me.
In is when we are grateful for that which has happened for us that we grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. On Thursday (5/14/2020) I had planned to volunteer at a food distribution site where I had volunteered before however I wasn’t feeling well so I stayed home. I was grateful for the message being sent from GOD to rest and take care of myself. In resting I was able to send out many thank you notes and show gratitude to those who have supported my efforts to continue to be a lifter for others. I was also able to put much of what was happening for me into perspective. It is when we show gratitude and take action on the messages coming from GOD that we create the life that we desire. In being grateful we are able to get ourselves centered, balanced, and focused as we continue to shine our light and illuminate the world.
There are so many things to be grateful for today. I am grateful for the talents that GOD has given me so that I can help other people to excel. I am grateful for the lessons learned like not undervaluing yourself. This lesson came in handy on Thursday (5/14/2020) when I was approached by a basketball team to be their announcer. I was thankful that they reached out to me. The caller asked what my fee would be and I stated $200 per game and he started to hem and haw. I told him this was my fee. his answer was if I was set on $200 that they couldn’t use and he was sure our paths would cross again. I thanked him for reaching out to me and wished him a good day. Most would say but JDOGG you need money. My answer would be yes but I will no longer under value what I bring to the table. I am grateful to GOD for allowing me to step into my power and to get a fair value for what I provide. I am grateful to those who have utilized my services and continue to use my services. I am grateful to those who have donated to my charitable endeavors over the years. I am grateful to those who have given me love donations to help me when I have been financially challenged.
Today (5/15/2020) I encourage you to embrace the power of gratitude. Stay Positive Today!!! Namaste!!!
