Daily Word

Today's Daily Word (from www.dailyword.com) speaks from an awareness of our interconnectedness and how that awareness guides our interactions as we participate in community with each other.

Community

 

I am a beneficial presence in my community.

 

I am often part of a group - my family, colleagues at work, fellow passengers on a plane or subway, or neighbors at the local store. In every situation, I create community as I share and seek to discover the common threads that weave us together. 

I commit to being a beneficial presence in my community. I make connections and demonstrate the qualities I wish to experience. When I see love, I reflect it back. When I see sadness or anger, I embrace the individuals with compassion. When I see conflict or confusion, I center myself in the calm peace of God within so that I may be divinely guided to the right words and actions. My community is uplifted as I act with peace and love.

I think this is a great perspective to start the new year with. I'm grateful for every member of our community of humanity, for the awareness of our interconnection, and for the opportunity to live in loving service to all.  In this new year, may we all embrace the awareness that We Are All One and respond with love and compassion to this awareness in each of our interactions.
