Today's Daily Word - Sunday, July 9, 2006 ANOTHER
WAY Open to God's good, I receive abundant
blessings. As I pray for my healing, whether
general or specific, I prepare to receive
additional blessings. From one perspective, I
may pray for a specific time or way to heal only
to realize that another way, a more perfect or
additional solution, meets my needs. This broader
perspective is an increased blessing in itself.
Perhaps a different process of healing will
actually assist in giving me more rest or
recuperation so that my whole body experiences
greater wellness. Or taking more time to
physically heal will give me the gift of time for
inner reflection or increased wisdom. My healing
experience may also benefit another person in my
life. When I am open to God's good and
acknowledge God's presence within me, I receive
abundant blessings. "As he turned away to leave
Samuel, God gave him another heart."--1 Samuel
