The Greatest Power

As I’ve been healing / detoxing / cleansing / you name it, between the coughing, hacking and nose blowing, I’ve been praying, meditating, reading and writing a lot.

Since my throat is quite raw and tender at the moment, I have been mostly silent and have found a still presence in me that is listening rather than just hearing.

Have been so blessed today to be able to finally get out of the house and appreciate the magnificence of God, the Universe. To truly see love everywhere.

I believe that it is because I’m in this state of mind that I received this other blessing.

While sitting here appreciating my freshly brewed cup of Yogi Tea (organic Cold Season flavor), I noticed that the tea bag had a message on it. I had no idea! I’ve gone through how many of these bags now? Are they all the same message?

I’ll have to wait for another tea time.

But for now, I wanted to share what brought my eyes and face to smile because it certainly sums up this healing experience:

“There is no greater power in this universe than the power of prayer.”
