PEACE WITH PURPOSE


"Let there be Peace on earth and let it begin with me."

I remember reading a bumper sticker some years past, that read, "If thoughts are things, think Peace." Then, while browsing the internet today I saw a posting, by the Baha'i Faith, asking for the entire globe to put one minute aside, each day to prayer for Peace. There is a list for times around the world to take the time each day to pray for peace, the United State's time slot is 1:00 pm. Studies have shown that group consciousness is very affective. If you have been wondering what you can do for world consciousness, perhaps this is a small start. Set the timer on your phone for 1:00 pm, and add to the vibration of thoughts for Peace. "Peace consciousness".

The last Sunday of this month, March 29th, The Las Vegas Center for Spiritual Living, is having a "Heart of Peace" service that starts at 9:30, come in person or join us on line. It is devoted to  praying for Peace. Music, speakers, peace affirmations, singing bowls, all with a message of Peace ( read more about it in the "Coming Events" section of this website).

You might say, "How does my prayer help; What difference does my presence make?" Believe me, It may work a world of difference. How many other candles may be lit by just one small candle? Our prayers matter. Ernest Homes once said, when referring to illness, "A pill and a prayer." I think our world today could use some healing; let's lend our consciousness towards helping others, sharing peace with our neighbors, and creating a world that works for all. Join the Collective Consciousness for Peace. Namaste'.

"Just as surely as a gardener plants carrots, he gets carrots: as he plants corn, squash, or pumpkins, he gets he gets corn, squash, or pumpkins. We as human beings do exactly the same thing as we plant ideas into mind."                                                                                      Sandra Lindsey Smith,           --Life's Garden of Weekly Wisdom

We are the difference makers. Be and do all you can to pay it forward in every aspect of you life. It does matter.

Love, Light, and Peace,

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...

 SPRING HAS SPRUNG "The best way to garden is to put on a wide-brimmed hat and some old clothes. And with a hoe in one hand and a cold drink in the other, tell someone else where to dig." Texas Bix Bender,                    - -Don't Through in the Towel This is the season of flowers and fresh clean air, of jumping and enthusiasm, and knowing that positive change is in the air. Growing up for me, when Easter was around the corner, I got a new dress, new shoes, and it was a time when family got together to celebrate. Today I still look forward to seeing friends and family during spring. Yes, there are things happening in the world that are not to my liking; but there are still things to be thankful for and to celebrate, relax and remember the blessings. Just as we tend to the garden during springtime, be it vegetable or flower, the love and kindness we put into its care is reflected in the type of harvest we reap. This is true with p...
