Dear Ones,

How do we bring Love into unlovely conditions? Not by fighting the situation, nor by blaming or complaining about it, as such a stance is the antithesis of Love. Rather, we raise our vision to the highest possible level, being willing to gain a new perspective, and agreeing to become aligned with Divine Harmony. Then, the shift to Love and Compassion becomes an easier transition.

This is the “month of love,” and we wisely choose to travel beyond the Valentine mindset and arrive at a holy place of deep, authentic caring for one another and for the world itself. As we rise up to the Presence of Divine Love, within and all around us, we begin to see the joy of deliberately and generously letting that Love flow to all, with no reservations. From this place of Authentic Love, everyone is lifted up in Unity.

Since the church is not available to us on Sunday, February 2^nd, we will be meeting this Thursday at 6:30 P.M. at the United Church of Christ at 45 Walker Rd. in Wayne. You may wish to come to the Meditation Room at 6:30 to join the Practitioner of the Day, prior to the 7:00 P.M. Celebration in the Sanctuary. You may also join us on YouTube by visiting our website www.cslphilly.org. Our Thursday Celebration will be restreamed on Sunday, February 2^nd at 10:30 AM ET and the new monthly theme for February, “Love is Service,” begins with the topic, “The Power of Love.” Join us in person this Thursday, then watch and listen next Sunday, 10:30 AM ET on our YouTube channel.

When we find troubling experiences or confusion, it may be time to turn to one of our Licensed Professional Practitioners for spiritual support. You will find that meeting in person or on the telephone clears the temporary challenge and lifts your consciousness to a higher level. They also honor your requests placed in the Prayer Chest. Look them up on the Practitioner Page of our website.

With great love and appreciation,

Dr. Maxine

We, as conscious, caring people, continue to bring the best of ourselves to our important spiritual work, personally and globally. As we deepen our faith in the Power that is greater than we are, yet right where we are, the Divine Inspiration moves us forward with Grace.  We understand that it is not we, but the Presence within us that “doeth the work,” and surrendering to this Inner Light invites It to inspire and elevate our work to ever greater success.

The Unimpeachable Wholeness of the Universe, as beautifully stated by Teilhard de Chardin, is the Truth upon which we may depend, as it is only natural for everything to return to the underlying, initial impulse that brings all creation into being. Whether our focus is upon physical, emotional, mental, or situational healing, Spirit is forever lifting us with Love and Wisdom to Wholeness.

It is in changing the direction of our attention from “problem” to “possibility” that we become open and receptive to this Divine Presence and Power, living our lives with deep faith and healthy expectation. We are designed for delight, both in our personal experiences and for the world itself.

Our Sunday Celebration will be livestreamed this week from the Inspiration Café in Paoli.  As we continue our month’s theme: “Inspiration,” we will be focusing on, “Stirred by Spirit; Revealing the Healing.”  As always, you may access it online by going to our website www.cslphilly.org and using the “Watch Now” button. That button can also be used to access our events, classes, and previous Celebrations and Love Notes.

Our dedicated Practitioners are available to help you walk through whatever life challenge you may be experiencing and can be found on the Practitioner Page of our website.  Whomever you select will be happy to work with you, either in person or on the telephone

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

When we speak the words of thanksgiving to the God within, knowing “before they ask will I answer,” there is something in this attitude of thanksgiving that carries us beyond the field of doubt into one of perfect faith and acceptance, receptivity  . . . realization.  Appreciation, gratitude and thanksgiving  — the motive power which attracts and magnifies the hidden potentialities of life. ~  Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 637

Gratitude truly is causative, for whatever we truly appreciate will grow in value and bring an ever-greater increase in our good.  The more we bless and praise everything and everyone, the sweeter and richer our experience becomes.  It is reported that Jesus expressed gratitude at the beginning of his prayer, and we know that this “giving thanks in advance” is a powerful process that deepens faith and expands our consciousness.

Another way to deepen our appreciation is to share our bounty with others, and we have an opportunity this Sunday to help support the Tredyffrin and Eastown Care (“T&E”) organization which provides valuable assistance to those in the area in temporary need.  We will have a special container for receiving monetary gifts that will become gift cards to help with food and clothing.  GPCSL is partnering with this organization at holiday time, so let’s make a difference in our community. Everyone’s gratitude will increase!

 Please join us at 10:30 A.M. this Sunday, November 27^th, as we meet for a wonderful in-person Celebration at Hyatt House Hotel, 240 Mall Blvd. in King of Prussia for a very special after-Thanksgiving gathering, including a talk on, “A Celebration of Prosperity,” and our very special  “Bountiful Bouquet” ritual. It will also be live streamed for those not able to be present. Going to our website, www.cslphilly.org and clicking on the Orange “Watch Live” button takes you right to our event. You may also view previous talk and Love Notes on the site.

Whenever you may find yourself in need of spiritual support, you may contact one of our Practitioners listed on the website’s Practitioner Page, and any of them will be happy to talk or meet with you.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine
