Dear Ones,
Our society seems to honor “busy-ness,” expecting folks to show their productivity and professionalism by being constantly active, mentally and physically. Creating and producing are wonderful, so long as we attain a balance, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We are all co-creators with the Divine, capable of bringing about beautiful and fruitful expressions of Life, especially when we remember to rest and restore, and when we realize that it is God working through us, not we of our human selves. The “rest” can be as simple as “tithing” ten percent of our mental focus each day on the Divinity within our activity, shifting our attention from “doing” to “being.” Can you take up to 10 minutes out of each hour to contemplate the majesty of Infinity and soak yourself in Spirit?
The rewards are great when we are mindful of the Presence, rather than overwhelmed with tasks and deadlines. Relaxing into the day, recognizing the Power within that loves working through us, we can attain that sweet balance and actually find ourselves more productive. Let’s give ourselves the gift of using the Creative Intelligence so intelligently that we remain peaceful in our productivity.
This Sunday, August 10th at UCCVF , 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA, we continue August’s Theme, ”Take a Vacation from Doubt.” My topic will be, “Let Your Mind and Heart Rest.” Celebration begins at 1:00 P.M. and you may come at 12:30 P.M. to join the Practitioner of the Day for a 15-minute Meditation before Celebration. If you are out of the area, log onto our website, www.cslphilly.org and go to the Watch Online button to be with us virtually. You are very much a part of our Beloved Community as online participants in our Sunday Celebrations.
Be sure also to attend our Celebration the following Sunday, August 17th, as we dedicate two new Practitioners and re-dedicate the present six during our regular service. Our Licensed Professional Practitioners are all listed on their own page on our website. Whenever you need a consciousness boost or a “faith lift,” call any of them, and they will be happy to work with you in spiritual mind treatment (affirmative prayer.)
With great love and respect,
Dr. Maxine
