Thought for the Day

All the spiritual masters agree that if there is a secret to

happiness, it is simple—presence to the moment. The

more present we are to the now, the more grateful we

are for what is, the more we tap into joy. All we have

is the present. This moment, this pain, this joy, this

gratitude, this surrender. And the more moments we

slowly and gratefully turn over to God, the more

we tap into this joy.
