Despite his desire for more, Lumen really had done an above average job at setting up systems to have things take care of themselves. He owned a few farms as a result of some families not being able to make their land payments to the King. Not wanting to see families homeless, he would assume the payments or loan out some money on conditional interest. Now even if he didn’t work for the King as a knight, money was always trickling in. The families cared very much for the homes that they had lived in all their lives and as such took very good care of the properties even though Lumen seldom visited them for any reason.
He kept extra money flowing in to make these payment by accepting payments for the use of his name on weapon products like swords, shields and breast plates. The blacksmith paid for Lumens name and sold more than any other metal worker in the area. Lumens named offered great value because he was the best at what he loved to do.
All these funds were paid out or received automatically for a small fee by the town treasurer. Lumen checked in from time to time to make sure things were in order and spent no more time with it than that.
With the rest of the day Lumen had the blacksmiths son move into his home to watch it and asked only for free metal work in payment as that was a major expense of a knight. He also approached the King and changed his working situation to a contract only basis. He had the ability to quit if he needed to but things always seemed to work out for Lumen when he asked for exactly what he wanted with conviction.
Lumen was no longer a slave to man or money. His mind, body and soul were free to expand, discover, create and fulfill their unlimited potential.
Lumen sat and was thankful and by doing so attracted even more abundance and peace into his life. He knew that as a child, when he was thankful for anything his father gave him, he would be first in line for seconds. People always enjoy giving to those that are very grateful.
“To you who are and everything that is, I give thanks.
My money grows daily and my stomach is full. My house is stable and my bed is empty of worry.
My name holds honor and my actions are noble in the protection of others. I have debts to no man and I am truly blessed.
My life has taken a turn at the call of an agitated soul. Adventure awaits as I heed the call of my inner voice.
Thank you for this time and mortal body to experience a full and abundant life where laughter and love are the nourishments for my soul.â€
For the first time in a long time, Lumen felt the tingle of life energy radiate in his palms.
