Bejeweled game - a lesson in life!

I love games, especially word games. I've spent hours with Word Whomp and Daily Word Find on Club Pogo. I recently tried Bejeweled, something different for me. It is a simple matching game. Find two gems that match place a third that matches and they make points and the puzzle reconfigures. While playing this game I realized that most of the time what I was looking for was near or close to my search area, but I would miss it. The game has a hint button which points to what you need and even then sometimes I was unable to see the right configuration.
How often in life are we searching for something and what we need is really right in front of us or at least nearby, and we don't see it. We look and look and don't see.
Trusting spirit, believing God, are moves in the game of life that help us make the match needed. We say we believe but we mumble about not having enough or our inability to do something. Neither of those things are true. God does not lie. Our inability to see is not the fault of spirit but our unwillingness to commune with spirit so that we see what spirit sees. Our unwillingness to be so wrapped in God, breathing God, being one with God keeps us from making the matches we need. In Christianity, Jesus is theone who came to show us how to make the matches. He even said "the Father and I are one". When the Father and each of us is one we can see the matches and win the game.
Peace!

Expanding Good News!

I planned all last weekend to write about the discussions in the news around whether a mosque should be built in New York near "ground zero". In New Thought we are told that anything we focus on be it negative or positive expands. I had to rethink my plan to blast, and ask questions of how amazingly un-Christlike the whole conversation is. Instead of taking that route I have decided to expand the Good News. Some would say what good news? The good news is that we have a president who wants us to remember our Constitution. We have a mayor (in NY) that remembers our history, where persons of any religion could come and be free to practice their religion. And we have those who know that being Christ-like is to extend an open heart and hand to those who want to share in their faith and communal care.
We create the space for this to occur each time we place one group above another. Baptist are better than Methodist. Pentecostals are holier than Catholics. The Jews are better than the Muslims. We must expand the Good News that all of us have some part of "Truth". To have it all would be Omniscient as we claim God is. Let us expand the good news that all of God's creation is good and worthy.
Peace!

Abraham-Hicks - Listen carefully!

LET IT GO

So many things distract us from our purpose. We give a lot of our energy away worrying about why others don't like us, or what would they say if they knew all the things we do. Why should we care. We are not sent here to be anyone but ourselves. Our uniqueness and our sole purpose on this planet at this time, have only to do with who we are. We are so wondrously made. (Psalm 139)

You are wonderful,, be wonderful, have a wonderful life. LET IT GO!

Did you experience heaven today?

Too often heaven is thought of as some future destination. If that is what you wish to believe that's great for you. Some of us need to remember that we KNOW heaven is a state of mind. When we remember a great love affair, the birth of our children, a seemingly miraculous physical healing, or even a sexual encounter that not only left us breathless but aware of having stepped into another dimension - we experienced heaven. Heaven is communion with Infinite Love. It is a gift of the Creator intended to bless our souls. A loving parent gives their child/ren good gifts. The Creator gave us this one. We miss the experience when we make choices that lead us away from the Creator. Our day is full of making choices. Each time you choose, choose heaven. Your desire to be one with the Creator allows for more and more heaven in your life. Take each moment, be grateful for each moment and choose heaven each moment of your day.

The Idea of Lack

There is a prayer recited in every moment of giving in the church that I attend. This prayer says "that there is no lack or limitation in my life".We learn that, nothing is in our experience that did not begin as a thought. What are you thinking? New Thought writers often remind us that our lives begin with thought. `Whatever is created in our experience was first a thought in our minds. What we give much attention to - expands. So if you are always thinking about "lack" you are creating it and expanding it. You can't have anything but lack. I hear some of my friends say that they only think of great and wonderful things, but they don't count how often they discuss how bad everything is. Bad economy, bad education, bad relationships, some "bad" comments outpace good ones 10 to 1. You might know what a good mate would look like, but how often have you commented on bad ones?

Pay attention this week to the lack you are creating. You want better, imagine better, point out what you are grateful for this week and imagine more of that to come.,

There is no lack or limitation in our lives. We need to continue creating the good, stop all complaining of the bad and be grateful for what is presently good.

Shalom
