Secret Santa

Now I will tell you about one of my favourite and most valuable of practices.. Shhh... It's a secret. 

You know how Jesus talked about how when you pray, you should not do so on the street corners were everyone can see how holy you are, but secretly in your closet at home. It's like that.

It is one of the ways I can test things that I'm learning too (kind of like a double blind experiment). Like asking (the universe) for what you need.. And then not telling anyone at all about it.. And just watching and waiting. It is so much more amazing to see the results, then when you say, ask for the thing you need and then putting out your prayer request on Facebook.

It is a way of being smaller and quieter too. Like, doing good things for people without anyone else knowing. 

Oh, oh! Or especially (for me), like when I think I know what someone ought to be doing or thinking, or a way things are supposed to be that I need to change.. Before I say anything or do anything I go all Secret Santa on it. I ask the universe to show them the way, change their mind, change the situation, and always to change me too.. or, give me the obvious opportunity to act.. And then I wait, and watch (and remember, it's Secret Santa).  If I wait quietly its amazing what will happen.

Secret Santa! It's my favourite!
