Forgiveness

Rev. Christine McGunigale

I think the opportunity to forgive is an opportunity to grow. We are a Spirit having a human experience in which there will be human mistakes. I like ACIM Chapter 23, section IV pg 496 on “Above the battleground.” This is where I can see the idea of forgiving myself for those thoughts. “Be lifted up, and from a higher place look down upon it. Here in the midst of it, it does seem real.

My Sinlessness Protects Me from All Harm

Rev. Carrie Drought

My sinlessness ensures me… freedom forever from all thought of loss; complete deliverance from suffering. And only happiness can be my state, for only happiness is given me. What must I do to know all this is mine? I must accept Atonement for myself, and nothing more. God has already done all things that need be done. And I must learn I need do nothing of myself, for I need but accept my Self, my sinlessness, created for me, now already mine, to feel God’s Love protecting me from harm.

Reminiscing with Jesus in My Garden

Rev. Sharyn Zenz

As I sit quietly today and go to my garden, I see a horn of plenty in the center of my garden and all around it are beautiful rows of lush green plants. As I sit on my bench looking at this beauty, Jesus sits beside me and tells me that the horn of plenty is to remind me of all the bounty and abundance I have had this past year. It is huge and overflowing.

A Long Ago Miracle Retold

Rev. Therese Anne Ward

My husband and I visited our friend of 57 years. I was fourteen and a half when she hired me to clean her house, because her artist hands could not take the hard cleaning solutions. The house was almost new, and every room was decorated with her artistry: china paintings, porcelain dolls, oil paintings, flower arrangements and at Christmas time, 220 hand made beaded ornaments that sparkled on a revolving silver aluminum tree. To me it was a dream home.

My Camino

Rev. Vicki Rostant

This is one story about how the Holy Spirit walked in my life during the past three years. I first felt the strong urge to walk the Camino de Santiago de Compostela about three years ago. I had always known about this road, the longest part of which goes through Northern Spain, hundreds of miles long, walked by many thousands of pilgrims since the beginning of the ninth century.

Are You Ready for a Miracle?

by Rev. M. Huckabay

I heard this question powerfully asked in a recent performance by a Musical Worship Ensemble a few weeks back and it has stirred my body, mind and heart deeply. My initial response was yes, absolutely yes!  I personally, locally, nationally, globally – long for a miracle! But later, in a silent pause, I heard the question more deeply in my heart and mind “Am I really ready?” As I continued to ponder this readiness question, I began to think of the scripture “As a man (or woman) thinketh in their heart, so is it.” In all honesty, even amidst my daily prayers, focus on miracle thinking and even more often… after reading the news or watching TV; my attention and the “thinking in my heart” has often focused on the “bad news.”

Change — The Ego’s Trick, the Holy Spirit’s Treat

by Rev. Jim Armfield

Fall is the season of change. Nature, in all its forms, senses naturally its own response to the consistency and necessity of change. Beautifully without effort, change occurs. There is no resistance, no fear and in the consciousness of a tree, it accepts change by giving the world a harvest of autumn colors as its gift.

But can we face change with such grace? How does the ego use change? What is its interpretation of this natural occurrence?

God in the Sky

by Rev. Cathy Jo Tomilenko

My story begins at birth, at the age of forty-eight, when I came into the incredible awareness that God is not in the sky. The wounds and fears of past experiences had overtaken my senses. I believed I was suffering at the effect of behaviors and actions of others, hurting, blaming, angered at them for my unhappy life. I tormented myself with pity, self-inflicted low esteem, shielding myself from my own loss of being. Everyone else was responsible for my unhappiness including “God in the sky.”

The Sun Rises (a poem)

by Rev. Julie A Gillespie

The sun rises and illuminates
the hidden places,
The shadows, the crevices of darkness,
Of despair.

Painful, dark caverns of black
Suddenly tinged around the corners
With orange and pink and yellow,
Revealing every detail of the truth
That had lain in waiting to be unveiled.

G.O.L.F. Lessons — Gratitude, Oneness, Love and Forgiveness

by Rev. Patty Jackson

I cannot know or see in another something that I don’t know within myself. This is where we are one. The seeds of all humanity lie within me. The form another takes to express part of me might be different than the way I have expressed, but what I perceive in them, I know in myself in some form or experience. What I see in another, I can see with compassion when I accept that part of my own humanity. When I can’t see with compassion but with resistance, a trigger, I know this is a part of me that I have not fully forgiven within myself. What does it mean to forgive, then? Forgiveness here means releasing self judgment around part of my humanity. In that release, the truth of who I really am is free to return to me and the way I see myself and the world.

The Girl Who Loved to Laugh

by Rev. Barbara Caldwell

Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved to laugh. She would laugh from pure joy at the butterflies, the leaves rustling in the trees, the milk pouring on to her cereal, the hugs from her parents and pretty much everything else that crossed her daily path. Her laughter was like angels’ voices singing praises. People felt warm and fuzzy when they heard her, even though they didn’t really put it together that their good feelings came from her joy.
