BEING THE  WISDOM, LIGHT, AND LOVE THAT GOD IS 

Liberty, Humanity, Justice, Equality — Susan B. Anthony

What does it mean to experience "Real Love"? If real love automatically excludes someone or something, can it be real love? What are some of your own key values. I think Susan B. Anthony hit a few of mine. Liberty, humanity, justice and equality, are important to me, and I believe they go hand in hand with Real Love, and creating a world that works for all.

What are some ways in your own community that you can contribute your talents to organizations that help in providing food, shelter, and support for those who can use it?  A woman's shelter in Kennewick, Washington created a bakery that taught women how to make bread, pastries, and pasta that they could sell to the public. It provided training, a small salary, comradery and purpose in women's lives. What volunteer organizations provide a meal for those who share their time assisting with projects. Volunteering leads to learning more about the Humane Society, Habitat for Humanity, the Food Bank, and those organizations might lead to a future job opportunity, or for a reference when one is needed.

Finding a way to help, builds community, and it is a productive way to be the love and humanity that the world needs.

"Love is a synonym for God."               --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Offering a place to help out, and being the person who helps out benefits both parties. A connection is formed. It is the Wisdom, Light and Love that God is.

Love and light,

Rev Sandy

 RELEASE THE LONELY     "To have a good friend you must be one."                                         --  Ralph Waldo Emerson This time of year can magnify loneliness, especially if you have made a recent move. It's the time of year to let the people you love know that you care. If you are thinking about asking someone out to coffee, follow through on the idea. Life is too short to let the gift of your life go by, keeping yourself to yourself. Spread the kindness. If you notice that someone in your neighborhood has just moved in, try bringing some cookies by. Think of all the possibilities you have to make new friends and to make new memories. Life is a chance to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Life is a gift, that's why we call it the present. "The message of the Christ is unconditional love, non-judgement, forgiveness, brotherhood, peace an...

 GOD IS GOOD, AND GOOD IS GOD " Love leads the way. That saying is a reminder to keep in contact with our higher power and share the the load when we need to. When I find myself wondering what to do next, or I have a challenge that elbows its way into my life, those are the very times when connecting with The Creative Intelligence of  God giudes me  to the solution." Life's Garden Grows,      --Sandra Lindsey Smith Ralph Waldo Emerson says that, " Love is a synonym for God ." Other synonyms are Peace, Truth, Kindness, and many more. The Dahli Lama says that, " Kindness and Compassion are my religion."   It doesn't really matter who says it, the meaning is still the same; treat others the way you would like to be treated.  It is said that plants and animals thrive when they are spoken to kindly (A little food and water are also nice). I always speak to my African Violets and tell them how lovely they are, and how shiny their leaves are. All th...

 THE CALM BEFORE JANUARY "Change your thinking, change your life"   - -Ernest Holmes It is coming to the end of an old year. This may seem disappointing for a few, and for others a chance for a fresh breath of new air. If the year brought many challenges, you may feel like you could use a few new stepping stones to lift you into more promising circumstances. The past is past, and you can decide to rehash some of the decisions you made, or you can decide that you can start with a clean new slate. At our Las Vegas Center for Spiritual living, some classes are coming up. Rev Staci is presenting two " Conscious Creation Workshops ", one in person and one one line, and Rev Cheryl is presenting one of my personal favorites, " The Essential Ernest Holmes ". For more information about these offerings, check out our website, Las Vegas Center for Spiritual Living : lasvegascsl.com, they can be found under "classes" at the top of the page. Both provide some...
