Over the past year, I am grateful for, or feel a profound sense of gratitude for:

Knowing that with God all things are possible. Let me explain what I mean. I am a student who is passionate about becoming a nurse. This year the Universe aligned with my desires so that I can focus on my studies, have my living expenses met, without any concerns. I am abundantly blessed. For this, I am eternally grateful.

I am grateful for:

That we all get where we are going."

For reflections on the waters.

For shady trees on a summer day.

For shadows that assert that we are.

For a clear day.

For a cloudy day.

For every breath I take today!

Over the past year, I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to educating the many young people that have come through my life at the colleges I teach at. The experiences that I have shared with them may contribute to their leading a more successful life. I also have benefited from our interaction. Their energy and creativity has inspired me. As a result of our interaction, I am inspired by the bright future they represent. I also am grateful that my teaching experience has helped me see how we are all one. We are both teachers and students in each other's lives. We are all perfect children of God manifesting that perfection in the world and making this world a better place to live in.

I am grateful for or I feel a profound sense of gratitude for:

A loving daughter Debbie and son Bill. For a lovely home and wonderful neighbors. For the life I have since losing my husband  five years ago. How amazed I am at what I have accomplished on my own since then. For finding this loving spiritual community and becoming a part of it. For these blessings I am so very grateful.

Over this past year I feel a profound gratitude for the opportunity to serve, and serve with, all the people that make up the RSC community.  2009 has been a time of coming together, of affirming who we truly are, of discovering aspects of ourselves personally and communally previously unknown.  It has been a time of new friendships, deepened friendships, new synergies, renewed energies.  It will always be this—for it is who we are and what we’re about—embracing life, and one another.    

Rev. Dana Cummings

Over the past year, I am grateful for, or feel a profound sense of gratitude for:

-All the healing energies from the natural world and from the hearts, minds, knowledge and skills of my human family.

-All the plants of the earth for their nourishment and beauty.

Remembering Carl

I would like to start this month of gratitude by being grateful for the many people who have come into my life and touched it in many wonderful ways. Some have stayed and some have moved on. Many have made their transition. I learned today that Carl, a dear, sweet sweet man who many of us knew made his transition recently. I will remember him fondly and I'm certain many others will also.
