Celebration
Celebration is gratitude expressing itself
as life joyfully gives thanks
Let your laughter be a celebration of your spirit
And your tears a celebration of your mourning
The giving of your voice a celebration of your belonging
Your thoughts a celebration of creation
And each of your actions, a celebration of your love
See your mistakes as a celebration of your learning
Your triumphs a celebration of your courage
Your passion a celebration of all that dwells in your heart
Ans at the end, your dying as a celebration of your living
Have it all
unashamedly
Celebrate it all
As you smile back at God.
-Jane Pujji
Giving Thanks
It’s gratitude that keeps the heart strong
that melts the fear
that breaks the spell
that leads you to the gold
It’s gratitude that opens the door
and shows the way
that answers the questions
which worry the mind
and close the heart
It’s gratitude that has
a thousand happy Gods
dancing through your garden
throwing blessings
sowing seeds of grace
upon your life.

” Smile at each other; smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other-it doesn’t matter who it is-and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other. “
