The Light is Within

Today I woke up with a sinus headache that wouldn’t go away.  I think sometimes during the afternoon, it might have morphed into a migraine.  I had to talk to someone on the phone today while I was feeling bad.  Before I called, I caught myself thinking about how much I dreaded making the phone call.  It wasn’t the person I needed to talk to; I just didn’t want to face talking on the phone while I was feeling bad.  As soon as I had that thought, another popped into my head.  I thought about how the light of God is within all of us. 

Even if I was feeling horrible, I would still be overjoyed to talk to God anytime.  I was missing an opportunity and dreading the phone call wasn’t doing anyone, especially me, any good.   I made the phone call with a new attitude, and it wasn’t bad at all. 

I feel like something amazing happened today.  Ever since I started thinking about the light of God being within us all, I have been trying to remember that before I interact with others.  I just keep forgetting and thinking about it afterwards.  I am happy because today, I thought about it before.  As if I can do it once, then I can keep doing it and it can become a habit.  Soon, I will be able to see all my interactions with others in a different light.  At least, I hope I will.

My faith saved me.  May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
