“Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin…”
(Matthew 7-28)

Dear Friends,

The Fall is coming! Will it be like the Falls we remember or will it, too, be dramatically changed as those seasons in 2012-13?  Perhaps the Universe is “cleaning up”the earth that mankind has “messed up”! Do we like the weather changes? Most don’t….it’s too great a CHANGE. It can’t be controlled. What if we see this weather change, metaphysically, as a blessing to change our consciousness; to let go of control of ourselves and others.  Didn’t you make a “change” when you found Unity? Now you can see “change”as an ongoing adventure! As it says in Isaiah 48:6 “…From this time forward I make you hear new things, hidden things that you have not known.”

Now change may not be “comforting” all the time, but that’s part of your Spiritual Journey. As it says in Isaiah 48:6, you will encounter those “hidden things”and they have to be brought up into your awareness. Be patient with yourself as you bring up old subconscious beliefs about yourself and others. As Myrtle Fillmore, co-founder of Unity, says in her book How to Let God Help You, her changes were not accomplished all at once. She says, “There has been a gradual giving away of the old, established ideas, as we have steadfastly made room for the higher order of living. Do not think that it was always a pathway of roses, or that my head was continually above the clouds. We had many trying tests. But through it all we held unwaveringly to the principles that we caught sight of in that first lesson, and we have proved beyond a doubt that God is our help in every time of need.”

So whatever is going on in your life now, know that it will change, remembering that “Thoughts held in Mind produce after their kind.” As Myrtle Fillmore said, “The great Answerer makes no mistakes. We just get what we ask for.”

Blessings!

Dear Friends,

“I love you back” were the words President Obama told the hundreds of adoring crowds who came to see him as he gave them hope and pledged to support the rebuilding efforts to restore the Jersey Shore after “Sandy.” Politics has no real power—love is the only power and it prevailed throughout that day!

“Love One Another…. I believe that Commandment to be the true “Call” to come up higher; to be the Love, Joy, and Peace which is our true Essence. This “Call” is not only made to us living on the New Jersey Shore, but to every person on this Planet.  It is god wanting to express through us – calling us to raise our
consciousness, to know that we are One with all that Is – god, the good, Omnipotent!

May we, as a Spiritual Community, be that Light and Love for one another, and love all Mankind, as
we are loved by the Spirit of god within us!

I Love You, Too!
Rev. Joanne
