Thank You For My Self

In this month of conscious gratitude, in addition to this day and our friends (see previous weeks' messages), we must also offer gratitude for ourselves.

It seems to me that just about everyone carries some regret, shame and anger toward ourselves. The problem is that any negative thought of the past keeps us from the joy of this moment. And the truth is, on the path that brought us to this moment, we always did the best we could. If we could have done better, we would have. As we honor and celebrate ourselves as the beloved of God, we can offer "radical acceptance" to ourselves. Click on the link below to listen to my message from last Sunday.
