Upon Further Reflection















Hi, just had a tid of a bit of reflective thought, upon re reading my blog of today.

When I mentioned about 'ENTITLEMENT', I was amazed that the tidbit subject was brought up by our friends; I think their comments are right on!

Life is both a 'Gift' and a 'Privilege'; and any extra 'privileges' that come our way, should be genuinely appreciated and never ever taken for granted. Methinks, there may be a tendency in today's world, to take more things for granted, or as a 'right'; without much sincere thought or understanding, as to how things evolved in the first place.

I think too, my parents and grandparents were a lot more 'strict'; and our generation has perhaps overcompensated, by being more 'generous'; thus encouraging an attitude of 'entitlement'. Hmmmmmmm. All I can say is, that being truly thankful and appreciative for each and every day is what He would have us do.

We are always grateful for each and every day; however, when we go to Pasley, we reflect even more upon our Blessings. Be it Him, our lives, our families, our dreams / visions, Pasley etc. My Dad always said, "You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink". Very true. As far as the 'entitlement' attitude, may it give way to a 'generosity of spirit', with an open willingness to participate and communicate with Truth and Love.

The above bittids / tidbits, I hope are as illuminating to you, as they are to me.

Love the above bittid photo image of the gardenia. It has such a beautiful fragrant smell, as well as being a classic beauty. It takes me back to earlier days of wearing corsages! LOL!

Good Night and God Bless.
