Let it shine!!!

 
Good Morning!
 
Many people ask; What is my purpose in life?
 
I think we expect our calling to appear from a winged messenger.
Our calling is using our gifts and talents to teach, learn, love, nurture and care for others.
 
Being an example of authenticity, unconditional love and nurturing.
 
By using our talents and abilities to make this world a better place, we honor the Divine.
Most of the time this occurs one person at a time.
 
Not honoring our authentic self  by hiding or not using these gifts, talents and abilities, we rob the world of the joy of who we really are.
 
Living an under-lived life serves no one.
Doing a job, or vocation that you are not passionate for serves no one.
 
You're gifts are the best parts of who you are.
 
It is easier to admit and accept our flaws and we willingly tell everyone of our shortcomings.
 
We seem to be ashamed of our talents and feel self conscious saying what we are really good at.
 
Support others with your praise of their talents, do not criticize or belittle their efforts to be unique, find the courage to do the same.
 
Hiding your light under a bushel leaves everyone in the dark.
 
Let it shine, Let it shine Let it shine!!.
 
Here is the thought for the day!

This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Gonna let my little light shine.

On Monday, He gave me the gift of love;
On Tuesday, peace came from above.
On Wednesday told me to have more faith;
On Thursday, gave me a little more grace.
On Friday, told me to watch and pray
On Saturday, told me just what to say,
On Sunday, gave power divine
Just to let my little light shine. (oh)

Now some say you got to run and hide.
But we say there's no place to hide.
And some say let others decide,
But we say let the people decide.
Some say the time's not right,
But we say the time's just right.
If there's a dark corner in our land,
You got to let your little light shine. (oh)

This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Gonna let my little light shine.

 
Namaste,
Marianne Goldweber
