I have spent the past few days working on this month’s Sacred Space blog.  I was prepared to invite you to share the sacred space of healing with me.  I read and reread the piece and something was missing.  I didn’t feel any passion behind it.  Today I have spent some time in prayer and meditation thinking about change.  I have been thinking about how much we all resist change despite the fact that it may be for our higher good.  I want so much for the people I love to work on themselves. I want so much for them to come into their own.  I only want for others what I want for myself.  I only ask from others what I ask for myself.  Yet, I am learning to leave people alone to learn their lessons on their own, on their own time.  It’s difficult to watch someone falling but often the most loving act you can perform is allowing the person to get up on his or her own, even though you feel you are quite capable of picking them up.  We are all works in progress and as much as we desire to help others in some situations, there is only so much we can do.  

I am learning the difficult lesson of learning how to let go of the things I want to change for others but cannot.  So, I’m sitting here thinking about how to transform my thoughts, what I can do to bring about change for my highest good when I find myself repeating the first verse of The Serenity Prayer.  

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

With the calendar year ending and another one beginning, now is a wonderful time to spending thinking about what we have accomplished and our desires for next year; what can we change, what we can lovingly accept that we cannot change.
 

So, this month you are invited to pray the above prayer each day.  While surrendering, changing, and learning to accept, we will be healing ourselves and others.  So, this month is about healing after all.Thank you for sharing this sacred space with me.
 

Peace & Blessings,
 

Rev. Sheila
