Simplicity

I pause to appreciate life’s simplest pleasures.

Today I am grateful and feel appreciation for the simplest pleasures that I respond to with a smile followed by a warm feeling in my heart. A simple hug from a friend, a cuddle from a grandchild, or stroking the soft fur of a beloved pet fills my awareness with love and joy.

The sudden lift I give myself when seeing a favorite person’s name in my inbox or the thrill of spotting a rainbow after a cleansing rain are catalysts toward lasting happiness in my heart.

These things and more remind me that true contentment is found in life’s smallest moments and the everyday treasures that comprise daily life that remind me of my DIVINITY.

I focus on these simple things and grow in gratitude for my life’s many pleasures.

Praying with Others

My prayer sets in motion GOD-QUALITIES in your life and mine.

I am honored whenever someone asks me to pray. Whatever the prayer request, my responsibility is always the same: recognizing that all QUALITIES of GOD are fully present in everyone regardless of circumstance. These “GOD-QUALITIES are potential forces waiting to be set in motion through the thinking-feeling functions of our consciousness” (adapted from Charles Fillmore’s Atom-Smashing Power of Mind, p. 93).

When asked to pray for healing, I release all thoughts and feelings of illness as I affirm total well-being. I know DIVINE LIFE and INTELLIGENCE are active in every cell.

When asked to pray for abundance, I give no power or importance to thoughts and feelings of lack. I set in motion the PRINCIPLES of ABUNDANCE, DISCERNMENT, UNDERSTANDING and LOVE as active forces in the person with whom I am praying. They make wise prospering choices.  

My prayer sets in motion GOD-QUALITIES in your life and mine.

World Peace

I live my vision for a peaceful world.

To bring about peace in the world, I focus my attention to my first reaction when I feel I have been treated unjustly. I do not deny my feelings, but neither do I allow anger, envy, or other negative feelings to take control of my response. I feel my feelings as I remain committed to living the TRUTH I know.

Regardless of behavior, every person is fully DIVINE expressing their humanity from their DIVINTY. I draw upon my DIVINE FACULTIES of LOVE, FAITH, STRENGTH and the PRINCIPLE of PEACE to guide my next steps. No matter how another responds, I remain ever centered in my inherent DIVINITY.

My efforts make a difference. Peace between individuals creates peace within families, in communities, and among the nations of the world.

I live my vision for a peaceful world.

Rise Up/ Easter

I rise up using the POWER of CHRIST, my DIVINITY.

I resurrect myself into a brimming new life. I have rolled away the stones of defeat and limitation. I am free and unlimited.

Throughout my Lenten journey, I heeded the call from deep within to recognize the stones in my consciousness. I removed them and awakened more fully to the INFINITE POTENTIAL within me.

I now rejoice in the shimmering light of awareness with an open, joyful heart. My faith is strong, and I am ablaze with my SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING. I rejoice that the eternal, in dwelling PRINCIPLE of LIFE is permeating my mind, heart, and body.

Hope never dies. Jesus transcended death and demonstrated life is eternal. With a grateful heart, I rise up and claim the PRINIPLE of LIFE anew. It’s a new dawn, a new day, a new beginning. I have risen in consciousness.

I rise up using the POWER of CHRIST, my DIVINITY.

Palm Sunday

I celebrate my DIVINITY.

Just as the crowd welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem with a spirit of celebration, I engage that same energy today for Palm Sunday. I do this by opening my heart and mind to the DIVINITY that is within me and others whom I meet each day.

My DIVINITY is identical to the DIVINITY in everyone. While in our humanity, we are wondrously distinct.

This welcoming attitude changes me at depth.  Making the commitment to behold the DIVINE in myself and each person I meet, I am symbolically placing palm branches before them, greeting them as Jesus was greeted. 

This celebration of the DIVINE in everyone lays a path of spiritual freedom.  From perfect peace within, I shout “Hosanna!” as my jubilant soul celebrates. 

I celebrate my DIVINITY.
