Hi

Good day, God--and thank you for another set of hours to live through, a new set of experiences to have, and a new day full of opportunities to do good for others.  I thank you for this new day and all that it brings, and I ask you to be with me today so that my actions and words will be uplifting and encouraging.  If you're with me, I know that I'll be able to stay more focused on doing what needs to be done and saying what needs to be said, rather than relying solely on my own judgment.  Which is good, I know, because it's a gift from you, but which often gets hijacked by the ego in an effort to make myself feel better or feel like I have some control.

A reply:

Good morning to you, too--and thanks for saying Good Day to me.  You would be amazed at how many people simply never do so.  I will be with you all day, as I am every day, in all situations.  You are right--if you stay focused on me being there with you, your actions do change.  It's kind of like the way one speaks when one is with one's mother versus how one speaks when mom isn't around.  This is one of the reasons that we have mothers and fathers; or at least, that was the original intention.  The way things are today, this is a principle that is fading.

You have the right idea to try to keep your judgment and your ego separated--good job on that!  And good luck with it; I'm sure you'll do fine, especially since you are aware of the issue.

I wish you a glorious day, and I wish you all the best with your students today!
