Today my affirmation is:

I am full with gifts from the Creator.

The quote than inspired this was:

"The soul of man is the sun by which his body is illumined, and from which it draweth its sustenance..." - Baha'u'llah.

He also discussed limitless favors vouchsafed to humankind, saying that first and foremost is the gift of Understanding giving us "the power to discern the truth in all things."

Frank Corner*

Why this is important to me is I've in the corners of my thoughts tended to think of my worth as weighed in pounds of past mistakes and successes. Then I seem uneven and mediocre and my future successes in doubt. But when I consider this mistake and learning as the human condition, I smile and feel like the gardener for a growing - however slowly - plant. And when I consider that essentially these gifts of the soul - of vision, truth, understanding, devotion, faith are within me, I am in awe.

*I feel that is is not the place for me to judge this mystery from God that is called Claudia
Gold-Fanning, not at all.

Perhaps I will change the affirmation to:

I am in awe of the gifts within me and without me from the Creator

(especially of the apple trees I walked midst this morning - all blossom and bud - gorgeous views to my eye and heart, offering their beauty though so few will see them. Many all over - I don't know where - will receive their apples in fall).

This new affirmation bank initiated on the second anniversary fo my husband John's going to the Creator, is like this orchard which stretches so far that I couldn't see end or beginning this morning. How it is like the trees, branches, blossoms, petals and fruit, we will see.

I am o so grateful for the gifts within and without from the Creator.

I am grateful for having the sun of my soul.

In honor of John who was cheerful, patient, and gentle. He once wrote to a relative:
Just know that with a little faith and a lot of prayer it will all turn out all right.
