Grasping, greed, Generosity, and joy
With good intentions and white knuckles,
I have tried harder and more times than I can count to get it right.
My greed is not the type that you can see in the car that I drive or the clothes that I wear.
I don't grasp for material possessions or status.
Yet my greed and grasping keep me small by limiting my reality to what I can understand and influence.
Today I learn to exhale not by force but by faith
A door closes and a window opens
Generosity and joy begin to flow in on a soft quiet Holy Spirit breeze
Finally their invitation was sent & received without pressure or expectation
Welcome home
For too many years I have placed life's hourglass upon the foundation of grasping and greed
Counting and measuring each precious moment
Often even with gratitude
Today I gently turn it over to rest in the generosity and joy of the present moment
I start to lose count of time as it moves past me into the future
And somehow find myself more present and aware than ever before
Where might you be operating from greed and grasping when you could be allowing joy and generosity?
