Today's thought: Change
Since the Universe began, there has been movement and change. The only constant is change. We can take advantage of change by looking for the positives in it. What can we learn? What possibilities are there now that were not there before? What can we do to make our lives and the lives of others more meaningful, more beautiful?
As the calendar year changes from 2014 to 2015, let us look forward with calm and courage to the New Year and all that it will bring to us, and be grateful for all the blessings of the past year.
May the coming year bring you all the dreams of your heart.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Challenges
Tuesday, December 30, 2014
Today's thought: Challenges
There is a school of thought that believes the challenges in our lives come to us from God, to learn from them and overcome them. There is a school of thought that believes the challenges in our lives are the end result, and the only possible result, of all our choices.
When challenges come into our lives, regardless of which school of thought we believe in, let us view those challenges objectively and dispassionately, that we may see the exact nature of the challenge and clearly see the solution. All answers lie in the quiet center of our minds and hearts. Be still. God does not shout over the noise of the world. God whispers to us in the silence.
Wishing you the blessing of overcoming all challenges in your lives, whether great or small....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Feeding the soul.
Monday, December 29, 2014
Today's thought: Feeding the soul.
As important as it is to feed the body for physical life, it is equally or even more important to feed the soul for spiritual life.
Meditation, prayer, and quiet time reflecting on God feeds the soul.
Kind words and actions feed the soul of both the giver and the receiver.
Gratitude for all the blessings poured down upon us feeds the soul.
Beauty feeds the soul.
Laughter feeds the soul.
Find time, make time each day to tend to the feeding of your soul. Quiet moments throughout the day calm us, bless us, and feed our souls.
Wishing you the blessing of a rich and beautiful spiritual life and a soul well fed.
Peace, joy, and love, always.

Respect all things.
Sunday, December 28, 2014
Today's thought: Respect all things.
Everything we see, including ourselves, was first a thought in the mind of God. Everything, everyone is connected to God and worthy of respect. Care for your material things, either earned by you or received as gifts. Care for yourselves and others as children of God. Respect the work that you do and those who work with you. Respect the earth you walk upon, it gives you life in the form of food and water; it gives you beauty with its flowers, trees, mountains and plains. In this physical life where we are all connected through our connection to God, respect all things, including yourselves and the work you came here to do.
Wishing you the blessing of respecting yourselves and living accordingly.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Pollution of the mind.
Saturday, December 27, 2014
Today's thought: Pollution of the mind.
We pollute our minds whenever we use crude and vulgar language and manners, whenever we gossip, whenever we read books with uncivilized language and vulgar behavior, watch programs or movies whose stories revolve around violence.
So many are concerned with pollution of the air and the water, and rightly so. Both of those things are absolutely essential to life, our health, and the health of the planet. But, polluted minds destroy rather than build; lower us down to the gutter rather than elevate us; and out of polluted minds will come no love, forgiveness, or compassion; no encouragement to live better lives; no solutions to problems; no cures for disease; and no art that feeds the soul.
We need to be careful and watchful of what we feed our minds, for it is in our minds that we live, and all that we share with others is first conceived in our minds.
Wishing you the blessing of mindfulness.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Do something.
Friday, December 26, 2014
Today's thought: Do something.
Everything over zero is a plus. At different times in our lives, we are capable of different things. Sometimes it seems we can do anything, and sometimes it seems everything is an effort. But, regardless of what we are feeling at the time, let us do something.
If you cannot sit quietly for 15 minutes to meditate, sit 5 minutes. If you cannot clean the whole house, clean one room. If you cannot save dollars, save dimes. It was St. Francis of Assisi who said, "Start by doing what is necessary; then do the possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
Do something. Anything over zero is a plus.
Wishing you the blessings of energy and motivation to do all that is yours to do.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

A Christmas Blessing
Thursday, December 25, 2014
Today's thought: A Christmas Blessing
From the beautiful writings of James Dillet Freeman:
"May there always be room in your heart for divinity to find a birthing place.
May you be holy as the angels were, faithful as the shepherds were, humble as the cattle were, wise as the Wise Men were.
May you have the compassion Mary had and the understanding Joseph had, and may the blessing of the Christ Child be yours, not because of his birth-night long ago, but because his love is born in you today!"
Wishing you all of these blessings, and more. Peace. Joy. Love, always.

Each of us, the light of the world.
Wednesday, December 24, 2014
Today's thought: Each of us, the light of the world.
Each of us has a spark of Divine Light within us, for it is that Light which gives us life. On this Holy day, let your light shine through your thoughts, words, and acts of peace, forgiveness, and love. The Divine Light within Jesus, the saints, and the Master Teachers down through the centuries shone so brightly that it was visible as a halo, or a stream of light coming from the heart area. We are, all of us, always in need of hope, acceptance, love, and forgiveness. Be aware of the Light within you, and let it shine.
Wishing you all the blessings of a peaceful mind and heart.....and joy and love, always.

Live in at atmosphere of blessings and gratitude. Bless yourself. Bless each room of your home, your car, your clothes, the food you eat, the water you drink, and be grateful. Bless your office, your desk, your co-workers, and be grateful. If you are looking for work, affirm, "The perfect job is looking for me and we are being brought together now," and be grateful. Bless every building you enter and every conversation you have. Bless your money and your checkbook; be grateful that you can pay your bills.

Thank You, God.
Monday, December 22, 2014
Today's thought: Thank you, God.
Some say the most effective prayer and the only prayer we need to pray is, "Thank You, God."
Today, as you do all the things you plan to do and all the things you feel you have to do, thank God at the completion of all your actions. Be grateful for the ability to think, understand, plan, speak, move, and all your skills and accomplishments.
An attitude of gratitude opens the door to evermore blessings for which to be grateful. Gratitude calms the mind, allowing us to better understand all we need to know for our highest good. Let every breath, every step, every beat of your heart be a prayer of "Thank You, God."
Wishing you the blessing of gratitude.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Faith and Trust
Sunday, December 21, 2014
Today's thought: Faith and Trust
From the teachings of Abraham: "Hold the vision. Trust the process."
Some say faith is the belief in things not yet seen, that then become visible. If we believe long enough and strong enough, our prayers are answered either in actuality or in the deep realization that what was asked for is not for our highest good. If we trust that God sees what is best for us, not only now but into eternity, we will gratefully accept the answer to our prayers, regardless of what the answer may be. It is for us to 'hold the vision,' and trust in God.
Wishing you the blessings of a deep and reverent faith and trust.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Inner Wisdom
Saturday, December 20, 2014
Today's thought: Inner Wisdom
The following is from Unity's Daily Word. Because it is so beautifully written and clearly explained, I think it will benefit all who read it.
"I release the need to control and open to divine solutions. Challenging situations can spur drama that diverts my attention. Anxiety, stress, and the need to have things my way may prevent me from thinking clearly. With such limited focus, I may lose sight of a bigger perspective. The tension in my body may restrict the flow of ideas to my brain and love to my heart.
In circumstances like these, I choose to lay my burden down. I take time apart for a relaxing activity and trust Inner Wisdom to guide my way. I let go of the need to impose my vision and allow the flow of ideas from Spirit. As creative solutions come to mind, I find a new way to approach a situation. When I release the need to control, Inner Wisdom reveals the right answers."
Wishing you the blessing of listening to your Inner Wisdom.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Cherish the children.
Friday, December 19, 2014
Today's thought: Cherish the children.
Be kind to children. Remember back to your childhood when someone was especially kind to you and pass that on to other children. Children are so vulnerable and powerless in most instances. Be kind, thoughtful, accepting, loving and forgiving to the children. Teach through your example.
Cherish the children. We never know which one will discover a cure for disease, which one will lead an honorable and exemplary life that will benefit millions, which one will invent something extraordinary, or which one will bring great and lasting beauty to generations with their creative and artistic gifts. Be kind to children. Love the children. Cherish the children, as God does.
Wishing you blessings every moment.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Today's thought: Weather
Let us accept the weather wherever we are. We cannot change it regardless of how much we talk about it, complain about it, wish it were different. Rather, let us prepare for the weather wherever we live, understand that we need sunshine and rain for our health and to grow food, snow for the ski resorts and those who visit them. Let us be non-resistant to the weather and eliminate that source of stress in our lives and bodies.
Wishing you the blessing of realizing that each of us is needed and important to life on earth.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Today's thought: Giving
Give what you can. So often we think of 'giving' in terms of money or material gifts. When we are able to give love, time, kindness, compassion, patience, we give priceless gifts. All of us need the gifts that feed the soul as much as we need food that feeds the body; sometimes, more so. Choose to be kind; choose to be thoughtful; choose to give the priceless gifts that feed the soul.
Wishing you all the blessings you wish for.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Forgiveness
Tuesday, December 16, 2014
Today's thought: Forgiveness
From the beautiful little book, "The Quiet Mind"
"Have you ever thought what forgiveness means? You, your own self, your own personality, needs your forgiveness. Your spirit is divine, but until you have overcome, your personality remains human and needs the forgiveness of your spirit. As you forgive, as your spirit forgives your personality, so also you will learn to forgive others for all their seeming errors. If you will train yourself to think in terms of love and forgiveness every moment of your life, a most beautiful healing will take place in you."
Wishing you the blessing of forgiving yourself and others.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Monday, December 15, 2014
Today's thought: Do it now.
If there is something you have been putting off doing, do it now. Do it now; get it over with, and out of your mind and body. When we resist doing what is in our best interests to do, not only is it draining to our mental and emotional energy, it drains our physical energy as well. For your own health and wholeness, just do it now!
Wishing you the blessing of understanding what is best for you to do.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

An affirmation for time.
Sunday, December 14, 2014
Today's thought: An affirmation for time.
When there are things to do and it seems there is not time enough to do them, I find it helpful to take a moment to be quiet and repeat the affirmation: "I have all the time I need to do all that needs to be done by me." This affirmation calms my mind and makes it easier to focus on doing one thing at a time until all has been accomplished. I hope this will help you, too.
Wishing you all the blessings your heart can hold.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Wherever we are, God is.
Saturday, December 13, 2014
Today's thought: Wherever we are, God is.
Unity has an annual World Day of Prayer each September. Printed below is their prayer for 2001, a wonderful reminder for any day of any year.
"The light of God surrounds us;
The love of God enfolds us;
The power of God protects us;
The presence of God watches over us.
Wherever we are, God is!"
There is a tendency to think that God is only outside of us, surrounding and protecting us. God is also within us as spirit, life and breath. Our physical bodies house the Spirit of God, without whom there is no life. When we can fully understand and accept that, and realize that God is in every living thing, we will become peaceful within ourselves and respect our fellow human beings, and all other forms of life to which we are connected. There is no separation, neither from God nor from all other life.
Wishing you the blessings of peace, joy, and love, always.

Today's thought: Bless yourself.
When in prayer you ask God to bless others, also ask God to bless you. It is important that you love yourself and bless yourself. When you are happy with yourself, not only does your mood improve but your health improves. Love is the great healer. Love your body, bless your body, be grateful for your body and be grateful to your body for all the work it does every moment of every day. It is possible to love yourself to wholeness.
Wishing you the blessing of recognizing and blessing your wonderful body. We are all walking miracles.

Love your body, bless your body, be grateful for your body and be grateful to your body for all the work it does every moment of every day. It is possible to love yourself to wholeness.
Wishing you the blessing of recognizing and blessing your wonderful body. We are all walking miracles.
Peace, joy, and love, always.

Honor yourself.
Thursday, December 11, 2014
Today's thought: Honor yourself.
Honor yourself and all of Nature and the Universe as we are all expressions of God. Where there is life, there is God. It cannot be otherwise, as His is the breath of life we breathe and it is in Him that we live, move and have our being. To honor ourselves, we care for ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually; and we care for others, including plants and animals, as much as we can. We are all Spirit; we are all connected; when we care for one, we care for all. Honor yourself, a child of God, worthy and deserving of life, love, and happiness.
Wishing you the blessings of peace, joy, and love, always.

Friendship
Wednesday, December 10, 2014
Today's thought: Friendship
From the writings of Kahlil Gibran:
"In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things,
the heart finds its morning and is refreshed."
Friends that accept and love us unconditionally are one of life's greatest joys. True friends are gifts from God and, quite possibly, angels in disguise.
Wishing you the blessing of friends in every area of your life.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Plan ahead. Just in case...
Tuesday, December 9, 2014
Today's thought: Plan ahead. Just in case...
Just in case, as billions on the planet believe, we do reincarnate, why not plan ahead for the next time? Why not learn and grow in peace, love, and compassion? Why not drop that bad habit gradually until it no longer exists. Why not study in depth a subject that interests you? Why not learn a new skill that will bring you pleasure and monetary rewards, if that is your wish? Why not plan ahead, just in case?
You have everything to gain and nothing to lose. In learning and doing any and all things that interest you, you exercise your brain, you live a happier, more fulfilling life, you add to the joy and peace on the planet.
Some who believe in reincarnation say we are no wiser when we leave this physical body behind than we were when we inhabited it. So, it would seem the best course of action would be to live our best possible life now. By doing so, we benefit 'now' and, just in case there is a future life to choose, we have prepared ourselves for that possibility to the best of our ability.
Wishing you the blessing of understanding the importance of wise choices in any lifetime.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Ripples on a stream.
Monday, December 8, 2014
Today's thought: Ripples on a stream.
Our words and actions are like ripples on a stream, flowing forth from us and affecting everyone they come in contact with, whose words and actions will then change, affecting all they subsequently come in contact with, and the words and actions flow on and on.
Each of us has the ability and the power to change ourselves, to change our surroundings, to change the world. History has shown us one person can make a difference. Whether we realize it or not, we all make a difference. We choose the positive or the negative; we choose to build or destroy; we choose anger or peace every day of our lives. We choose.
Wishing you the blessing of kind and loving choices.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Kind words heal.
Sunday, December 7, 2014
Today's thought: Kind words heal.
We can all be healers with kind words that heal bruised hearts. Take a moment to consider how simple that is. It is so much healthier for the mind and body to be in a state of calm and kindness, than to be in a state of the opposite of those feelings and emotions. Let us all be healers with kind words for ourselves and for those whose lives we touch. However small our role may be, let us bring our light into the dark with kind words that heal bruised hearts.
Wishing you the blessing of healing yourself and others.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Energy
Friday, December 5, 2014
Today's thought: Energy
Everything lives and moves through energy. Energy vibrates. Thoughts, words, actions send out vibrations. We live in a sea of vibrations and attract to ourselves whatever our own energy and vibrations are transmitting at the time.
And, we are a part of the whole that is the Universe and beyond. We are all connected, a part of the whole, the living organism that includes all life, all things, all actions and reactions. We are a part of God, under whose will and direction all things live and move and have their being. Free will gives us choices. We can either move forward, benefitting all, or backwards, harming all. All choices have consequences to ourselves primarily, and to all secondarily.
Wishing you the blessings of insight and understanding.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Easier said than done.
Thursday, December 4, 2014
Today's thought: Easier said than done.
So many things are easier said than done. The important thing is that we do what we can, with a willing mind and heart, and do not become discouraged. Whatever we are able to do, no matter how small, is better than doing nothing. Let us all do what we can to add to the peace, joy, and love in the world and we will have lived a successful life.
Wishing you the blessing of success, however you define it.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Gifts
Wednesday, December 3, 2014
Today's thought: Gifts
During this holiday season when the emphasis is often on buying gifts, consider the gifts of time and love.
I believe time to be the most precious gift of all, for it is the only thing money cannot buy. At this time in my life, it is the gift that I treasure the most, that someone I care about takes time out of their busy lives and spends time with me. There may be someone you know who would appreciate your time together as the best gift ever!
Love is the great healer, and the other most precious gift to give and receive.
A beautifully wrapped package delights the eye; time and love feed the soul. Give what you can with goodwill and love, and it will always be the perfect gift.
Wishing you the blessings of time enough to accomplish all you want to do, and love, peace, and joy, always.

Be true to self.
Tuesday, December 2, 2014
Today's thought: Be true to self.
Be true to self, your best self, your spiritual Self. When we look at Nature, we see that it is true to self. The oak tree is always an oak tree; roses bloom on a rose bush; carrots grow from carrot seeds, etc., etc., etc.
Let us be true to the Spirit within that gives us life. Let us care for ourselves and for others as much as we are able. Let us be a part of the solution rather than a part of the problem. Let us walk in peace and light that the world will be a better place for all. Let us be true to the God-self within us.
Wishing you the blessing of living your best life.....and peace, joy, and love, always.
