Loving kindness in Gratitude. Often Hod is thought of as humility. And indeed it is that. But today I want to consider the gratitude of Hod, for only when we have enough humility can we truly feel gratitude. And, as the psalmist says, "My cup is full and overflowing."
Chesed is an overflowing of lovingkindness. And so today would be a good day to write a gratitude list: those things we're grateful for in our lives, those people, events, things, that we are grateful to the Divine for filling our life with. For indeed, our cup is overflowing. Even today, as many of us experience economic challenges, health issues, legal troubles, exile from communities of origin...despite all these things, Divine love fills us in every moment whether we're aware of it or not. And making conscious that awareness starts with gratitude.
While today's card combination could easiliy be the 4 of Wands with the Eight of Pentacles (and if you are so inclined, consider spending some time in meditation them today) I have chosen something less traditional: The Ace of Cups. Because it is the overflowing cup we are all offered at every moment.
My our hearts overflow with acceptance and gratitude for what is in this very moment, in every moment.
