MONTHLY THEME AUGUST 2007

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN UNCERTAINTY RULES THE DAY?

During this volatile time, both in our world with Wars, and Social issues compounded by Environmental concerns, how do we stay Happy and project a positive attitude? What can you do to ensure your own peace of mind, and help others with their as well? I turned to the scriptures today after hearing of a few major earth quakes in Peru. I was struck again by Matthew 24:6 “And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.”

How close are we to this “end” and what can or should we do now to be ready? I personally hold strong to the advice “see that ye be not troubled”. We can surely see that there are many challenging events taking place in our world today. I think it's important that we focus now more than ever on the positive events that are also happening daily.

These things don't usually capture international headlines but they happen in far greater numbers. For every terrorist attack, there are millions of unnoticed situations in which someone helped another. For every earthquake that takes place, there are millions of views of a beautiful sunset, or peaceful moments in a quite corner of the world. For every dollar lost in a turbulent market, there are millions of dollars given in love for charitable works.

As we close in on the end of the seven years of tribulation, let us focus more than ever before on the wonderful Eternal future that is so incredibly close. Let us start each day with a prayer, even before we leave our beds, that we may radiate healing loving energy into this world. Let us co-create Heaven on Earth. Remember to be Happy and feel Free, for you are an Eternal Being!

In Jesus way, Amen, Amen, and Amen.
