WEEKLY WISDOM      Aug. 19, 2010         by Rev. Nancy Norman       


"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans
for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
 
Life is an adventure you see,
Many paths awaiting you and me,
Everyday a new and marvelous opportunity!
     I believe that there is a reason for each of us to be on this earth at this time. I believe that each of us enter this life experience with definite talents, gifts, qualities and characteristics to bless ourselves, others and our world. I believe that each of us is important, our potential is great, and the possibilities are unlimited.
     As one person noted, "At every moment the universe is making you an irresistible offer."  The whole universe is lined up to support you and make your life joyous, happy and fulfilled.  God has plans for you that are beyond your wildest dreams. 
     Everything in your life is a result of some belief or thought that you have held in mind, so today begin to fill your mind with thoughts of possibilities and create the life you desire.  Start to acknowledge the greatness that lies within you, remember you are a child of God, the resemblance is remarkable.  Yes, a beloved child of God and nothing is impossible to God!
     God has plans for you; they are plans for good, for hope and a bright future.  Every moment of every day the universe is making you an irresistible offer!  The good that you desire to experience is awaiting your acceptance.  Say YES!
 
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
God has a plan for my life, that's all I need to know!

Weekly Wisdom    Aug. 26,2010                      by Rev. Nancy Norman

"I will restore to you the years which the swarming locust has eaten...You shall eat in plenty and  be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you."                                                                                                                             ~ Joel 2:25, 26 ~        

It is easy to get discouraged when things appear to go wrong in our lives.  All of us have experienced a felling of loss, pain and suffering, whether it is financial loss, health, employment, a loved one through death, divorce or estrangement, the going through it is traumatic.  We can become disheartened when things happen and appear to come out of the blue.  At times like this we may feel the way is dark and the future hopeless, but we shouldn't lose heart because God is always at work in our lives.      

Myrtle Fillmore, co-founder of Unity, wrote, "We are not to be too concerned with the appearances of in-harmony, lack and imperfections about us.  These things are not real, and they will pass away quickly as Truth takes hold in the consciousness.  We are to remember that the Light shines in the darkness---and that in the very midst of the darkness, man's mind opens to the Light, and for him there is no more darkness."       

We cannot allow the loss to govern the rest of our lives.  We must learn to withdraw our attention, attachment, strong feelings of loss, remembering that no one or nothing can keep our good from us.  Any limiting concept will eventually self-destruct.  Nothing can block God's good for us or slow it down.  Nothing is permanent, no loss is lasting.  It remains a loss only as long as we hold on to it with thought of deprivation in our minds.      

As we turn our attention to God, knowing that nothing is impossible to God and that God is mightily at work in our lives, we can end up richer, happier, healthier and more secure than ever before.  God has given us riches beyond measure and as we lift our minds in gratitude we see the blessings that have been bestowed upon us.  God shall restore the years that the locust has eaten, and He has dealt with us wondrously!                                              

                                   THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK  

I rise above any difficulties, knowing that the might power of God is at work in my life.
