It is my prayer today that each of us will be filled with gratitude, compassion, charity and empathy.
And that we will experience all of the joy, hope, peace, gladness and love that God would have us know.
It is also my prayer that all these blessings will abide with us and within us each day.

Mental Assent
Posted in Good Morning, tagged Faith, Spiritual on November 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
When you give your mental assent to any idea, good or bad, you associate yourself with that idea and you incorporate it into your consciousness—to the extent that you realize it. When you read a passage of Scripture you will, if you assent to it mentally, incorporate it into your life to that extent.
This law, [...]
Common Sense Vocabulary

When you apply a certain word to God, it must bear the same essential meaning as it does when you apply it to man—otherwise it has no meaning at all. When you say that God is Love or Intelligence, or that He is Just, these words must mean substantially what they mean when applied to [...]
Use That Broom

A good housekeeper sees to it that dust and dirt do not accumulate in nooks and corners and on shelves. Periodically, the house is gone over and given a through cleaning. Too often in our spiritual lives, we allow negative things to accumulate in the corners of our minds. We tackle the obvious problems as [...]
Use What You Have

Many people say to me, “I want to get on faster. I want more understanding.” And as a rule they go on to ask for a list of books to read or some “advanced course” that they can take.
This attitude is quite mistaken. It implies that spiritual advancement is a question of intellectual activity—of the [...]

Within you is an inexhaustible source of power, if you can but contact it. That power can heal you, and it can inspire you by telling you what to do and how to do it. It can give you peace of mind, and , above all, it can give you direct knowledge of God. That [...]
Can Happiness Be Found?

Volumes have been written on the secret of happiness, but I like the simple old story that has been told so often.
In the old days, there was a king who was so miserable and unhappy that he called together all of his soothsayers, magicians, and other court advisers to find a remedy. They tried all [...]
That Illogical Fellow

People sometimes say, “ I believe firmly in the spiritual teaching, and I have done so for years, but I have never been able to make it work—isn’t that strange?” And sometimes they say this with quite an air of triumph.
Such people remind me of a man who used to boast that he had an [...]
Tidal Water Heals

If you have explored some of the back waters within a few miles of the ocean you will know how much difference tidal water makes. Here you come upon a stagnant pool, partly covered with weeds and slime, an unpleasant place to be near. Not far away is another pool but this is filled with [...]
Only Your Own Thoughts
Posted in Good Morning, tagged Faith, Spiritual on November 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
No matter what problem you may have to face today, there is a solution, because you have nothing to deal with but your own thoughts. As you know, you have the power to select and control your thoughts, difficult though it may be at times to do so. As long as you think that your [...]
