Everyday Miracles

So far this has been an amazing summer. With our children's wing complete and growing in number. And with the blessing of our effective teachers, our accomplishment is remarkable. The project of church beautification is moving rapidly. Yes, Our reflection of God through answered prayer is immense.

Personally I have again experienced much joy this summer, The participation of members and the love and harmony at Unity of Sachse is an everyday miracle for all to see. There is no question of God's presence in this radiating center of peace and healing of mind, body and soul. To be a part of this is to share in the miracles.

I, as many others have experienced summer visits from family, these have kept James and I quite busy, and added to our daily miracles. The special trip of the summer for me is a cruise with my daughter and grandchildren, during which I have taken advantage of the beautiful energy-filled surroundings to share with my church family.

As I sit here looking out over the water and reflecting on an experience our first day at sea, it brings a smile to my lips. I stood at the ship's railing with my eleven year old grandson, Seth. We were both quietly enjoying the water when Seth spoke, "Grandma, the water looks like God poured blue dye in it." My heart was touched by the beautiful way my grandson described God's miracle. It is our very nature as Spiritual beings to be happy. To delight in living. to be the joyful reflection of our creator. To see God in all we look upon. Yesterday we went ashore in Mexico. It was the children's first visit. Their faces, filled with awe and excited inquisitiveness about the different culture. filled me with elation. It is one thing to read about and look at pictures of a place, but a different experience to be there.

We are always being faced with appearances, they may appear to be different but each is a part of creation. It is for us to remember that where ever we are and what is before us, God is within. The beauty is always there. But, top often it takes a child's open mind to see God radiating through creation.

On this trip, I have spent a time each evening in prayer. Jesus said, that when you pray, ask as if you have already received. Be thankful, joyous, filled with gratitude for all that God has already provided. We must learn to lift our vision to that high place where truth and light are forever shining forth. We must always work from within, rather than from appearance. True prayer is never addressed to a Being outside ourselves nor does true prayer expect anything from outside our own being. "The Kingdom of God is within You," Recognizing God to be the reality of our being we know that all good is inherent in Being, yours and mine.

Properly speaking, there is not God and You, but God is ever manifest in You. This is the oneness which assures you of infinite good. God is the Life, Mind, Body and Substance of Individual being, We should all live in constant recognition of this truth.

Communion with the spirit of God within you inspires you to be more, to live more; to walk with confidence and always rejoice in the abundance of God's everyday miracles. They are always present — not just on summer vacation.

I invite everyone to visit Unity Church of Sachse each Sunday as we worship together and share the teachings of Jesus our wayshower to a life of wholeness

Blessings,

But Jesus beheld them and said unto them, with men this is impossible;
but with God all things are possible.
