Accepting the Miracles in Our  Lives

"Open your eyes to the miracles around you: your friends, your good fortunes, for all that life has seen fit to send your way. Today comes but once. Recognize it's goodness. Open your heart. Listen to a bird's trill and your sweetheart's whispers, feel the warmth of a sweetheart's kiss. All is of the holy ECK, the Spirit of Life. "

   - Harold Klemp, The Living Word, Book 3, pp. 118-119

Theme: Was That a Gift from God?


  "The gift of life is a treasure.  What we do with our lives determines our spiritual state and our degree of
contentment.  While we in ECK can have and enjoy the material pleasures of life, we also know that all
earthly goods carry a price and last but so long.  And it is easy to lose them.  On the other hand, real
treasure often turns up in unexpected places."

Harold Klemp, The Living Word, Book 2, p. 131
