Because you are feeling plentiful, you may want to express your gratitude to the universe by circulating the wealth. You can share it with those you love, or donate to an organization that you would like to support. You can give something back to those who helped you to reach this point, be it schools, communities, or just supportive individuals.

SUGGESTED  BIBLE  READING
…
I lift up my eyes to the hills–from where will my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

…

He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

…

The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

…

The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time on and forevermore.

-Psalm 121:1-8 (NRSV)
