WEEK 98

God, what is your guidance for me today?

Stay intimately connected to my spirit.

Pay attention to the leanings of

your soul… and the feelings of

your heart.

We will be partners and companions in

the journey of the day.

We will adventure together and 

you will know what to do at 

every turn.

My wisdom will be yours.

My Light will shine through you

and we will be a blessing to others

with our very spirit.

Can you believe that?

Are you ready?

Okay, let’s begin.

Evening Reflection 

Today, I was aware of an important task at hand. I would be the musical background to a sacred gathering led by my wife, Jeannine. Coming from a family of ministers and musicians, I have long known and experienced the power of music to enhance sacred gatherings whatever the setting.

You never know who will come and where they will be emotionally… and so today’s guidance was a reminder that while I may know what I am to do, Holy Spirit has a say in the flow of it all. To respond in the moment, as I felt the combination of the chemistry in the space, the facilitation of Jeannine and the responses, was a great joy. Wisdom flowed through my fingers as I knew what chords to play.

After the event, many thanked me for the musical accompaniment to our chanting and meditation. One man wanted to know the chords I played and he recorded them on his phone. A woman sitting next to me in the circle (my keyboard was part of the circle) turned and gave me a bright smile as I changed the feel of the music according to what I sensed needed to be played.

The question, can we believe we can be a blessing to others, is a call to say ‘yes’ even while letting go of our ego. Each of us can bless others. We may not know who, how, when or where. But sometimes we do get to know. Today was one of those days for me. 

They are always humbling.

How did you experience this guidance?
