Spiritual Gifting During a Financial Crunch
If you are like most people this holiday season, than you might be feeling the financial crunch. Your budget for gifts may not what you have had in the past. This should not be a source of embarrassment or dread, you are being prudent. We are all in the same boat right now. So I would encourage you to remember that this season is about spiritual reconnection and renewal, and the power of love. If you focus on these elements in your gift giving, I am positive that you can use your creativity to devise beautiful gifts of your spirit. These do not need to be costly. They can be letters you write and frame, massages you give, daylong road trips taking someone to a place they’ve always wanted to go, dinners you cook, books you read to someone whose sight is gone, pictures put in a scrapbook, homemade crafts, private musical performances. If the spirit of giving is filled with love, it doesn’t have to have a dollar value on it. It can be –in the words of Mastercard—priceless. Enjoy the creative process of becoming a master of spiritual gifting!
Conscious Creation Tip
Bless Your Money!
The next time you wince when you pay a bill, or dread paying for something, note this feeling–for it is one of the factors that contributes to your financial strain. Our conscious and unconscious dreads, fears and anxieties about money constrict our flow of Conscious Creation. However, there is a simple easy-to-remember way to open up that channel of abundance. BLESS YOUR MONEY! Bless it when it comes in. Bless it when you pay a bill, knowing that you are contributing to economic liquidity. Bless it when you deliver it to the cashier because you are helping to keep that business healthy so it can be there for your convenience. Bless it when you give it to anyone or provide it for any purpose because somewhere in the chain you are helping someone else in need earn food and shelter. Bless it because it’s a joyful form of energy! (Money=a fair exchange of energy for a service or product.) Bless it when you give it away to help someone else. Bless it because it helps create your abundance. Just take out a dollar bill right now and kiss it! And say thanks for the grace it affords you.
Now just remember this whenever you have that sense of money pressure or lack! Instantly start blessing your money and very possibly you will soon begin to see those dollars multiply! I see my bills in a whole different light since I began doing this! And I actually feel good about paying them!
