ON THE WINGS OF SPRING



"Meditation draws us close to the Divine Reality so that we sense Its atmosphere and feel It's presence. When we think about Peace we become peaceful. And, it is in our feeling of Peace that we speak our affirmation of Power. It is from this Peace that we affirm  the presence of  Love and Truth and Goodness."
                                              Ernest Holmes,    --Living the Science of Mind

 What are the signs of Spring that make you feel especially Joyful? For me, one of the biggest things that sparks my delight is watching humming birds at the feeder on my patio. I sit in the sunshine and sip my coffee, watch the birds and the tiny blue lizards that climb the surrounding the walls of my patio.  Life is peaceful and sitting in silence allows me to drink in the goodnes and peace of Spirit.

Absorbing that serenity fuels me up with peace and love to share with the situations and the persons who cross my path each day. It allows me the ability to be the calm in any given situation. It reminds me that I can respond rather than react to anything that needs my love and kindness.

So put a little spring into your step as you greet the world each new day. See how it is that little thing that makes a big difference.

"When we remember the truth, that each person on this planet was meant to be perfect, whole and complete, something wonderful happens...As we let go of the need to struggle, we find peace within ourselves. As we remember we are not alone, that God is always there within us, we are one with love."
                          Sandra Lindsey Smith,            --Life's Garden Grows

May you enjoy the bliss of Springtime. May love, light and laughter come easily and efforlessly, and may you share it with wild abandon!

Love and light,
Rev Sandy Smith

 WHY WORRY?                                          "Worry is the dark room where negatives are developed."                                                                 Raymond Charles Barker,      -- The Power of Decision Oh that hamster wheel late at night, just spinning with all of the things that happened yesterday, and the things on your calendar that you still need to accomplish. Will the wheel never stop? How do you dismount from the wheel?  I have discovered that worrying about the past is pointless. If it was an accident, I cannot undo what happened. I may think of it as a learning experience as to what I might do the next time to avoid an accident. As to the future, it hasn't happene...

 BE KIND TO YOURSELF "Things always get better. When you believe this, it becomes true. In the same way as you don't believe it doesn't get better, it doesn't get better."   Sandra Lindsey Smith, -- "Life's Garden Grows" Have you ever noticed how readily we rush to forgive other people for the minute, negative observations they say about themselves, but it is much more difficult for you to forgive yourself for the very same tiny thing you say about yourself? All the, "I AMs" that come out of our mouths are packed with the potential to show up in our lives exactly as they spring from our mouths. So, no: "I am so stupid"; "I can't get my hair to look right; or, "why do I even go in for this job interview, I can never express myself well under pressure" NO! Those are not the, "I AMs" that you want to spring from the depth of your soul. Instead, "I could have done that a different way", "...

  RELAX INTO THE FLOW "A good diet, refraining from excessive desires, and daily meditation all lead to peace of mind, and this peace of mind is beneficial."     Little Book of Inner Peace,    --The Dalai Lama What happens when a person is caught in a rip current in the ocean? A lifeguard would tell you to swim parallel to the shore and that would break the hold of the current. When panic sets in it is sometimes very difficult to remember that idea of relaxing enough to swim parallel to the shore. Isn't that true about the challenges that we go through in life? We get caught in the idea of events becoming more than we can handle. When it occurs to us, that  Spirit surrounds us, moves in, through, and as us, we can remember to relax into that Divine Presence, and a shift happens. It allows us to respond, rather than react to the situation. There are many times that I have been so focused on the problem, that it takes me a little time to say, "God...
