"Goodness"

Halloween = Hallowed or Holy Evening

Halloween is seen in many different cultures and times to celebrate and honor, to play tricks and get treats. Perhaps we can learn something that is helpful to us all.

In the Hawaiian people the sunset is a time to let go of the day gone by with gratitude and blessing. The sunset is a simple sacred ceremony of watching the sun go down into the sea with respect. Consider the possibility of creating the “evening” being a time to “even out” or balance one’s day. We may need to find some rituals that create for us, a quieting of our lives to really appreciate it all.

Life may be full of tricks and treats. It is how we perceive and handle what we experience that makes all the difference. If we feel victimized by life’s unpredictability, we may feel hurt, defeated, powerless. If we feel challenged and surprised by life, we may be awakened, curious and even inspired.

It is not what happens to us: it is was happens through us and for us It is not that we are “just human” and bad things happen. It is that we are Spirit having a human experience, to learn, to remember, to overcome, to serve. Often we are given the opportunity to choose how we perceive our experience to awaken ourselves.

Take the time on Halloween to see each child as the beautiful, capable, happy child they are. Every evening take just a moment to pause and appreciate the day that has been experienced. Every morning when you awaken allow yourself to imagine the best in the day to come. Use your mind and heart to give yourself a reason to be inspired, happy and contribute to life.

Often we let the richness and value of life pass us by. People squander their time together and forget to enjoy. When we waste what we have, how can we possibly value having more. And so it is, we have less than we want when the day is done.

The abundance in life comes from enjoying, appreciating and using all we have for Good each day. The value of life is increased when we see the sacredness, the blessings the wholeness in all things. The prosperity we assert we want to experience is in valuing and utilizing what we have not. When every day, every moment and every encounter is meaningful, we experience true prosperity.

Some have said : “Waste not, want not.” And for certain this is true for those who live making everything important. When we use all that is given, we find there is more to be shared. Always plenty, “a great sufficiency” for all that we need.

Put your best into each moment and pause to receive the Best from what you have given. Life works when we take time to enjoy the many gifts and blessings, the tricks and the treats. You can choose to receive all Good and only Good from all that is yours. Make sacred this and every moment with a smile on your face and a song in your heart.
