I have these regular spontaneous moments, moments of deep Gratitude. Gratitude hits me deeply in my spirit and it hits me at random. I can never predict when it will happen. It doesn’t matter where I am. And, it has just hit me now, inspiring me to write this post!
I was just in the bank, and it hit me while I was in line waiting for the teller. I wanted to record the moment right on the spot, but I know when I get this feeling, I may seem strange to many people. …Sometimes…a bit off, hell, maybe even crazy. So, I didn’t record it when I was in the bank.
But now I’m sitting in my car, in the parking lot. Right now, I’m just trying to express the deep Gratitude that I feel. I am still in Gratitude, so I want to express the feeling I am experiencing now. But I don’t know what to say other than I feel especially grateful to God that I’m here! I feel grateful for the wisdom I’ve gained, the battles through which I’ve endured, and for my total comfort and surrender to God’s will over my life, however, he chooses to allow it to unfold.
This feeling just hits me, a feeling of total jubilation! At that very moment, I’m saying in silence, “God I am so grateful!” for no particular reason. That is how I feel right now.
A lot of times when it hits me, or after it does, I send messages, songs, quotes, or memes to express it in a few words to others. The other day I did so because I felt that feeling, then and I expressed that I’m so grateful to God because it’s a miracle that I’m still here and standing strong!
Because this comes to me at random, it affects me very profoundly. It just hit me again a couple of minutes ago, and I wanted to take this time to express this feeling, to express a deep part of me. Kevy
I generally awaken every morning with a feeling of Gratitude to God for another day. But when I feel Gratitude in this way, it is one that’s driven by my intention to be grateful every day. I influence the feeling intentionally every morning. But the random Gratitude that I’m speaking of is spontaneous; it’s unexpected. It happens when I am unprepared for it.
In an instant, it illuminates my spirit, my entire being, my vibration, and my aura. Then I feel encouraged to share this feeling with others. This act too is by intent, but with good intentions to encourage others. I share in the event that they might need encouragement.
But I also share it to let them know that this feeling, the feeling of spiritual glorification, is real. It’s real and I want to announce that I’ve attained it. In attaining such euphoria, I want to share the good news that we all have access to this feeling.
But sometimes I become discouraged when sharing this news. Often others don’t feel grateful as strongly as I do, are not feeling it at that moment, or have never felt this way. They, therefore, don’t understand.
After feeling spontaneous Gratitude, and having no one to converse with about it, I listen to gospel songs that expressed the feeling that I had just felt. I don’t really focus so much on the name of Jesus. Yahweh Yahushua, Allah, Krishna, Buddha, or whomever. I just focus on what God is, under the umbrella of all of those names. And the Gratitude that I feel in surrendering to God seems similar to what the gospel artists express in their songs.
After that, I usually meditate. I finished meditating just a few minutes, prior to recording this to audio that was later transcribed. My meditation is mindful meditation. At first, it consists of silently saying affirmations, then it becomes a prayerful meditation. I pray in silence, saying specific prayers of Gratitude, Healing, Increase, and Guidance, but praying in meditation, repeating them until the words seem to disappear on their own.
Eventually, I totally escape the place and time in which I’m in. I escape all thoughts, all problems, fears, or worries. I am in Bliss; I would imagine as a baby is.
Then from there I usually have a strong urge to create something. I usually start to author a poem, produce a video, write a blog post, or just record thoughts, as I am doing now.
Then spontaneously, it may occur once more. I feel incredibly Grateful again! It never stops. Describing this feeling is something that is personal, and extremely hard to describe. I hope I’ve given you at least an inkling of how I feel in this moment of deep Gratitude. Kevy

Signals
Oh, Heavenly Spirit
Your presence is always with
Me
Your beauty emerges
When the world
Seeks to challenge
Me
I am deeply grateful
For the signals
That you send to
Me
In your way,
You’re showing
How much you love
Me
When I struggled
It was you
That gave determination to
Me
In hopelessness
I realized that
You provided
Unimaginable options for
Me
When at the end of the road
It was you who
Laid unforeseen
Paths before
Me
When frail and broken
I remember the very day
You shared
Your strength with
Me
It seems like yesterday
I was tattered and scarred
Since…
You’ve cleaned and polished
Me
Now
Before I ask questions
Of Thee
You already know
Then whisper
Divine answers to
Me
Oh, Holy spirit
I recognize
When you’re
Speaking to
Me
I’ll forever live
In each moment
Never to miss
The next signal
You send to
Me
I’m looking closely
At all that happens
Eyes wide open
Even while I
Sleep
I will preserve
My burning desire
To share
How you reveal
Yourself to
Me
Oh, Heavenly Spirit
Your presence
Is always with
Me
Your beauty appears
Just when life
Seeks to challenge
Me
And I’m
Deeply grateful
For the signals
That you send to
Me
In your subtle way,
You’ve shown
Just how much
You love
Me
Endured (Excerpt from A Song)
Now I celebrate the Sun
Yesterday there was Rain
I am filled with Happiness
I’ve felt the depths of Pain
There’s a smile on this face
It was once covered in tears
I am pleased with where I am
I struggled to get here
I am grateful for the clouds
On a sunshiny day
I cherish the storms of life
And I’m still calm today
Had not been for the pain
I wouldn’t be overjoyed
And I am delighted today
Because of what I endured
Chorus
What I endured
What I endured
I’m so grateful for the trials
That I endured
In this world of complication
There is one thing I am sure
The prelude to wisdom
Is what I endured
The Voice
The voice of God
Calls out to me with recognizable clarity
It’s like singling out a single chirp
Within the melody of birds caroling in the morning
Though but a whisper
Amongst the chatter, I can feel His call
Deep within my spirit
He’s telling me to accept his grace
Just as the flowers do
When they smile in gratitude
To the sun each day
I am grateful to hear the call
Chosen from all those
Who couldn’t filter out the noise
I eagerly follow God’s voice
As though I were a flower
Having no other choice
But to bloom
In Grace
I live by the commands of
The Voice
The undeniable
Voice of God
Grateful (A chorus to a song never completed)
Chorus
And I
Never dreamed
Until I accepted God
I began to hope
When I found that
I am loved
Now I cannot wait
For the beauty
Each day brings to me
Today
I can laugh
When I used to cry
I’m stronger now
There’s nothing that
I can’t survive
And I’m ready to
Give love back
To show that
I’m deeply grateful
Thank You, Lord (Excerpt from a song)
I am happy for the path I’m on
And where you placed my feet
It all makes sense
The trials I’ve had
Lord, you were preparing me
I have no hate
Within my heart
Lord, you told me to forgive
I have no fear
My doubts are gone
You taught me to believe
Chorus
I want to
Thank you, Lord,
Thank you, Lord,
Now I am at peace
My burdens gone
I will follow you
Use me as you wish
Greeting Card Concept
Outside
God rescued me
When I was drowning
Drowning in a sea of fear
God, was my lifesaver
I’m glad that he was near
I used to turn and walk away
He showed me how to forgive
He is merciful
For so long
I wanted a love just like this
Inside
That’s because I am
His loving child
I am his loving child
And I am so grateful
To have a father like this
You Did (Excerpt from a song)
Weak and all broken
I shouted out your name
Though I let you down before
You still gave me your hand
All I needed was a friend
Didn’t care about opinions
And I didn’t want to be fixed
Just needed understanding
Now I’m so grateful for the day
That you gave me one more chance
Then embraced me
And loved away my all pain
Chorus
And you gave
And you loved
Then you touched me again
In an instant,
You erased away my shame
And you looked
Pass the scars
You looked deep inside of me
In just one touch
I am not the same
That’s just what you did
That’s just what you did
I’m forever strong
For what you did
Gratitude | Psychology Today – Thankfulness – Reviewed by Psychology Today Staff
Gratitude is the expression of appreciation for what one has. It is a recognition of value independent of monetary worth. Spontaneously generated from within, it is an affirmation of goodness and warmth. This social emotion strengthens relationships, and its roots run deep in evolutionary history—emanating from the survival value of helping others and being helped in return. Studies show that specific areas of the brain are involved in experiencing and expressing Gratitude. Brain scans of people assigned a task that stimulates the expression of Gratitude show lasting changes in the prefrontal cortex that heighten sensitivity to future experiences of Gratitude.

This is beautifully expressed and clearly from a grateful heart. As one of my fav artists puts it: “gratitude is a mus’!” (Singing in my Koffee voice)
I am familiar with the artist Koffee and with that lyric! If we were all more Grateful then there would be greater world peace. The best thing that we can do for humanity begins with ourselves and working from within. Gratitude is foundational to spiritual healing. Blessings Kevy
I hear you and totally relate. The surge of Gratitude is such gift of Grace. It brings pure life energy pulsating, makin gthe entire existence an amazing testimony of miracles that we can count on, poetry flows as if fro a river within, thoughts becoime prayers that lead in to a meditaion. Gratitude is that gift of peace and joy. It comes as it comes or then can be reached from a consious choice – either way a treasured experience.
You clearly have experienced this spontaneous glorious feeling, not for any particular reason at the moment….Just because. The way you described it is the way that it comes to me as well. Kevy
