EXPRESS YOURSELF


"I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” – Mother Teresa

Remember the expression, "If you see something say something"? Yesterday I heard our ministers at LVCSL speak brilliantly about, "The Edge of Possibility." The general message was that peace is possible, and there is a difference between "Peace" and "Harmony". Peace is basically the absence of violence, where harmony is a blend of something. Voices, instruments, people working together for a common cause, are all examples of this harmony. 

Another phrase you may have heard, is, "It takes a village." To me this says, it takes  people working together to generate peace in this world. Rev Cheryl spoke of peace being possible, and I agree. It does begin with a positive mindset. Spirit has given us eyes to see, ears to to hear, and brains, and voices to speak with. Express your opinion, especially if you want positive change. Letters to your representatives, or to the editor at a local newspaper; get involved in a local campaign to support a candidate who stands for your point of view; and of course, pray for peace and harmony on a daily basis. If Peace is a thing, pray for Peace.

"Being larger than life, this phrase reminds us that even though we are responsible for our own lives, we are all a part of something larger."

Sandra Lindsey Smith,                          --Life's Garden Grows

Sometimes I sit idly by when I disagree with something, but I find that when I actually express myself, I open a door to being a part of, "the Change I wish to see".

Love, Light, and Harmony,

Rev Sandy Smith

 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...
