Today is a beautiful wintry day. A light blanket of snow fell last night and has enveloped the earth. I went walking just to clear the cob webs.
As the webs cleared, a beautiful idea marched forth. "Build some shelves today." On the first shelf, I will place large Kerr jars with new rings and lids so that they will seal properly. Into these jars I will place all hurt feelings and unkind words which have been spoken towards me. The jars will contain the memory of anything which has caused me hurt by others. After placing all the wrongs in the jars, I will seal the jars tightly so that no hurt feelings can escape the rest of the day. These jars I will label, "Forgive Others."
The second shelf will hold jars with mistakes I have made. They include hurtful words and thoughts about others or anything that might cause another to anguish at my hands. The lids are placed on the jars loosely just in case I need to put more in. How important it is to recognize our wrongs and then rectify them. These jars I will label, "Forgive Ourselves."
The third shelf will be filled with squeaky clean Kerr jars. They sparkle and shine. A brilliant light flows from each jar. There are no lids or rings found on this shelf for the contents desire to flow freely. I will fill these jars with good thoughts, good words, and all sweet and tender feelings--anything that is lovely and good natured. These jars, I will label "Christlike Feelings."
I will close the doors on the first and second shelves today. The third shelf, I will let fill my soul.
