We of the light salute thee. There is always time for love. Demonstrate love. It is simple. Smile at someone. Be good hearted. Encourage others. Encourage yourself. Don’t forget yourself! You are very important in the scheme of things, the big picture. You may not know it, but without you it doesn’t work. Unity is unity and there are no exclusions in unity. Therefore, you are needed. This is how it works.

So does it matter how you act? Of course, you say this is a lot of responsibility. If you make being kind to one another a responsibility, so be it. But you have other choices. You have perhaps forgotten that you are pure love in your natural state. Let us speak of this.

A child is lost in the mall. How small he feels. And you are there, the hero of the day. The boy doesn’t even ask, for you can tell he is lost. You ask him in the most kind and gentle way if you can help him. There is no thought about it. You just do it. It is natural to help another when they are in trouble. You do not think of the accolades, the problems, the logistics, you move forward, arms extended in love. You may even hug the child and take his hand, and tell him don’t worry, we will find your parents. You work from the heart. There truly is little thought.

There are many such events such as these. Helping someone stuck in the snow, taking in a lost puppy, helping an elderly one who needs assistance carrying her shopping, opening a door for another, and of course, letting someone park in “you parking spot”. There are so many ways to help and there is little thought involved and great joy is received by all. You don’t need to think. You are by your very nature, kind, considerate, gentle and loving. There need not be responsibility placed upon these actions.

Might you ask for these situations to appear in your daily life and they will. Ask for service and it will surely come. It does not have to be onerous. It can be simple, like the opening of a door with a big smile. It feels good. It’s impulsive and rewarding. Doesn’t it feel good to help someone?

Alas, we are always so busy, and we miss these beautiful opportunities. We have crowded our head with “The List” The many things we have to do, and the things that we have to think about, and the things that must worry about. There is a lot going on in your head. And so we miss the wondrous opportunities for service.

How do you think the world becomes a better place? We demonstrate through our actions, the natural kindness and consideration towards others. We pause, and listen and open our hearts. We may even hug another, to tell them how much we love them.

And so it is my children. Slow down just a bit. Take a big deep breath when that busyness seems overwhelming. Take another breath. You will feel so much better. Look around you at all that is going on throughout your day. The speed of things will seem frenzied. Hardly anyone is taking time to be kind. Take that instant of time to smile at someone, to tell someone how wonderful they are, how appreciated they are. Help others to take a breath or two. That is all it takes to become the observer, to be the conscious awakened one that spreads love to others.

Is this so hard my children?

I think not.

My blessings to all this day.

I am love. I am you. I am the angel inside of you. Your higher self who speaks this day.
