Day 43
On Mondays I usually share your stories – however, I didn’t receive any this past week! Which is fine, as today is part of Thanksgiving weekend in Canada and I don’t want it to pass by without talking about gratitude:
I know it’s hard to feel grateful when you’re sick or things aren’t going right in your life … yet, what do you think would happen if you were to tear your thoughts away from what doesn’t seem to be working, and start thinking about all the things you have to be grateful for? Only good can come of it.
Maybe you’re in too much pain, physically, mentally or emotionally, to want to find anything to be grateful for …so….. How about being alive? Because all we know in this dimension, (unless we work at it,) is the physical aspect of Life, we take it for granted. We don’t stop to think about how awesome it is that we are here at all!! I remember watching Rev. Terry Cole-Whittaker on TV years ago, talking about how out of the thousands of sperm racing to the egg, We won!! Just the concept of a single egg, splitting and splitting and each cell knowing what part it was to play in our creation is mindboggling! And who hasn’t looked at a tiny newborn and thought “Wow – I used to be like that?”
We are a miracle in the making – continually evolving into something new. Who knows – maybe our dis-ease is part of that evolutionary process!
Spend some time today consciously being grateful for your life. Make a list and put it somewhere you will see it on a daily basis. Add to it when ever you want.
Meister Eckhart, the great Christian Mystic, wrote “If the only prayer you pray in your entire life is ‘Thank You’, that is enough.”
I am grateful for YOU!

Day 42
Another good day to pray. Breathe deeply and join me in this Spiritual Mind Treatment:
I see God everywhere. It is the Source of all good. It is all possibility and all power. I am an expression of all God is right here and now. There is nothing I could do to get away from this Truth. It always has been, is now, and ever will be.
Knowing this, I declare I am ready to live a full healthy life. I put down all my old baggage, and stand proudly, willing to move forward with ease. I am healthy in every area of my life. My body, finances, relationships and work all reflect the beauty and harmony of The Divine. This is good, very good.
There is only One Life – God’s Life – and this is the Life I am living now.
Gratefully I release my words, knowing they are already done, and so it is.

Day 41
Day 41
Our physical body needs food, shelter and rest.
Our emotional body needs attention, peace and love.
Our mental body needs clarity and peace.
Our Spiritual Body, in which all others reside, needs nothing. It just is, always has been and always will be. The recognition of this Truth, and the alignment of our physical, mental and emotional bodies with this Truth, makes all things necessary come into manifestation effortlessly.
Let go of focusing on what you think you don’t have, or what you need.
Focus on God instead.

Day 40
I love the number 4 – it represents balance to me. Which leads me to ask: How balanced do you feel?
I think of standing on a firm foundation of faith - a square, with each corner representing an area of my life: work, finances, health and relationships. My job is to make sure those corners stay squared so I am balanced.
In sewing, after I have stitched a corner, I then turn the material right side out and poke a blunt ended object into the corner from the inside to make sure the corner is pointy.
In life, I see the foundation of our lives as Spirit. Spiritual Mind Treatment, meditation, and affirmations or setting intentions is our way of poking out the corners to make sure our foundation is squared.
We’ve been focusing on one corner – health - yet paying attention to our corners equally brings balance into our lives. I’m sure you’ve noticed that when you pay attention solely to one, the others come out of balance as well.
The easiest way I know of to be in balance, is to remember who we are. As Emmet Fox wrote in The Golden Key …. Instead of thinking about the problems, think about God instead. Think about all the qualities of God you appreciate, and let your corners be squared and your life be in balance!
Affirm: God Life is expressing as me right here and now.

Day 39
I believe our illnesses are messengers and the message is usually about where we are resisting living the life we are meant to be living. Certainly being sick is a great excuse for not doing our passion!
It is a definite chain of events. We resist living a full life, the resistance makes us ill, then we resist being ill, which brings more illness. If we are serious about being well, we have to know what we’re going to do with our healthy lives.
What do you REALLY want to be doing?
Ask yourself, if I didn’t have to worry about my physical, mental or emotional health, what would I be doing?? What would make my heart sing?
Meditate on this today.

Day 38
Ernest Holmes wrote that Unconditional Love overcomes everything unlike itself. Love, then, must be power. He also states that love is the self-givingness of Spirit. Love and Spirit are one and the same. Love heals because Spirit is the presence of wholeness and health.
Recently I had a discussion with someone who takes a lot of medicine. Medicine deals with symptoms and of course, we want relief from our symptoms. The person was embarrassed because of their medications. They felt guilty as they believed themselves to be a New Thought person. I reminded them that medicine was a tool for healing.
My teacher, Rev. Helen Street, when she first started teaching classes in Honolulu, purchased a huge bottle of aspirin and put it on the sink in the washroom. Of course, someone came out and asked her "If you believe what you teach, why do you have a huge bottle of aspirin on the counter?"
Rev. Helen replied "Well, if you can't walk on water - take a boat."
Though the real healing comes from a revealing of the Truth, an uncovering of the Love's Presence, and a change in consciousness, we should not feel guilty or ashamed because we take medicine to help us. If we are in pain or discomfort, it is hard to focus on being whole. In Truth, if everything is God, then the doctors, nurses, medicines, etc., are all an expression of God in our lives for our healing. In Divine Mind we are already whole and perfect in every way.
Breathe deeply and let the Truth be revealed!!
