Hubby and I just returned from our road trip – this time to San Diego (and all points in between); as we played tourist and took in some of the sites (and sights), hubby and I also people-watched.
One day after touring a haunted house and neighboring old cemetery, we headed to one of the restaurants recommended by our hotel. There an older teen/young adult was busy waiting and busing tables.
I was attracted to his energy, but not quite sure why; I switched to the other sight and watched him a bit more. I was pleasantly surprised by what my other sight showed; humility, grace and divine appreciation.
He glowed.
As he went to bus yet another table, I noticed that when his hand touched the tip that had been left on the table top, he stopped, lowered his chin to his chest and said a prayer…thanking the Source for the blessings he just received. He put the tip in his pocket, cleaned the table and moved on to the next table.
I was in awe; but there was more. As he turned I was able to see behind and slightly to his left…there was an angel behind him. The angel was following him.
The angel was there as an answer to at least one of his prayers.
I was honored to have had the privilege to witness that beautiful incident of energy exchange and divine appreciation.
What Did it “Look” Like?
With regular sight, the young man moved gracefully and with purpose; he appeared relaxed, calm and grateful to be there.
Other sight showed a steady white with gold energy emanating from him and evenly distributed around his body.
When he moved into divine appreciation, the energy around him flared brighter and then the most beautiful pink – which originated from his heart chakra – shot up, out of the top of his head and straight up to the Source.
What is “Divine Appreciation”?
It is saying “Thank You”, being sincerely grateful and appreciative of a person, place, incident or thing.
For me, it brings a sense of awe along with a strong sense of gratitude and appreciation that floods my whole body. I have: cried; laughed; danced; or had been very still when experiencing divine appreciation (or divine gratitude).
It is nothing like the automated, depthless or sometimes flippant and without thought “Thank you’s” that we pass around.
It is in the moment, and staying in the moment, while being grateful. It comes from the heart and can be felt throughout the whole being.
Challenge
Try to be in divine appreciation at least once a day this week.
