All That Matters

A time to take stock.  That is what this day represents to you in a world in which time holds meaning.  You see your lives in chunks called years.  How would you characterize this one?  Yes, of course we often caution about looking into the past, but we also share that life is for the growth of the soul.  The question that matters at this moment is, did you bring more love into your world in the past chunk of time you call a year?  Remembering that there is no right or wrong, what does your answer compel you to do?  You need not do anything.  You need not think in any certain way.  We merely wish to remind you that Love is all that matters.  Happy New Year.

Note from Suzanne:  I turned on Pandora radio as I sat down here after meditating to type this message from my notepad.  Carrie Underwood was singing a song I’d never heard (“So Small”).  I received such a jolt just now as I heard her sing, “Love is all that matters.”  Thank you, Spirit, for this beautiful confirmation.  May this be the mantra for all of us every day of 2015 and beyond.  Love to all of you …

 Lyrics to "So Small" sung by Carrie Underwood":

What you got if you ain't got love
The kind that you just want to give away
It's okay to open up
Go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
You wanna shut the world out and just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith
'Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And when you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else seem so small
It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big at the time
It's like a river that's so wide it swallows you whole
While you're sitting around thinking about what you can't change
And worrying about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count 'cause you can't get it back
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, and when you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else seem
So small, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And then you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh, it sure makes everything else seem
So small
