Gratitude

Amidst all the sadness and separation anxiety I’ve been going through the past few days, there’s an overwhelming feeling of peace and gratitude. It’s as if I’ve started to understand the signs God has been sending me along the way.

It’s been one Aha moment after the other! The biggest one happened a few days ago when I suddenly realized that with every misfortune, God blesses me with guardian angels to fill my heart with more reasons to allow gratitude to outweigh feelings of pain and misery.  This thought has humbled me so much lately that I started to feel embarrassed to let pain take away this beautiful gift of unconditional love I’ve been so privileged to enjoy.

It has been a beautifully silent conversation with God that has revealed a new reality about acceptance. The minute you allow acceptance to find its way to your heart, you start seeing the signs more clearly.

With this Aha moment I started to go back in time to all the moments that I’ve missed and found the signs that went over my head. Putting all the pieces of the puzzle together has been a true blessing.
