Did you enjoy Christmas? Different this year, wasn’t it?

–

Today is day 4 of the 7 day festival of Kwanzaa, which celebrates African and African-American culture.

Each day represents a principle; today’s is ujamaa, which represents cooperative economics.

How interesting is that for these times + stimulus checks being issued!

So, we are 3 days away from saying Buhbye to 2020.

–

I am counting my blessings and letting go of that which no longer serves me!

How bout you?

Anything you’d like release and let go of with the closing of 2020?

You will receive practices that elevate your conscious awareness and give you hope.

You Are The Light! Service And Community: The Christ Journey

For years, it has been a joy to consistently contribute my musings to Inner Visions, Agape International Spiritual Center’s monthly book of inspiration.

Given the season and times that we are in, may you find my latest entry below helpful.

I would love to hear what spoke to you in the writing.

The Christ Journey

–

While it is true that the Power of God is always within us, it is not true that we have always realized Its presence.
Ernest Holmes

–

During my September graduation ceremony from the Michael B. Beckwith School of Ministry, Rev. Deborah Johnson gave my classmates and me this charge . . .

“You are no longer on a Hero’s journey; you are entering the Christ Journey. Be in a state of perpetual forgiveness.” Fast-forward to November and the 2020 Presidential election! With the appearance of separation in the form of an election laced with racism, I have been challenged to meet the responsibility Rev. D gave us. Embarking on the Christ Journey, we become aware; God lives within all of us, no matter what the political party is.

Light expresses itself in our hearts, it surpasses any election results. When we are willing to see the Divine within everyone, the Christ Consciousness comes alive, and we can experience Oneness.

As we continue to learn the lessons of racial harmony, let’s fully embrace the statement of truth, “We are a unique expression of the One, uniquely expressing the One.” We are a living rainbow, a spectrum of colors. If you separate each one color from the whole, you only experience a limited idea. But when you see the full range, you can see the light of the sun shining through the clouds.

In The Science of Mind, Ernest Holmes writes, “While it is true that the Power of God is always within us, it is not true that we have always realized Its presence.” The Light is everywhere if we set the intention to see it. When it is challenging to see God expressing Itself as we are used to, we must declare the truth no matter what our lying eyes may tell us. Divine recognition reminds us of Samadhi (Oneness) on Mother’s Day, Earth Day, Election Day, New Years Day and every day.

–

Affirmation: I am the Light, you are the Light, we are the Light together. And so we are. Amen!

Here’s a little bit about Tully:

Tully is an educator, entertainer, and entrepreneur.

So, he creates easy to follow recipes and videos on his Instagram channel, @tullyzkitchen and blog. Tully started his journey as a vegan 4 years ago and feels he is doing his bit for the animals thorough his food choices.

Tully wants to show people that eating vegan only means changing perceptions not flavors.

Elevate + Celebrate! High Conscious Conversations (+ Spiritual Activation for the Holiday Season)

I was grateful to be able to connect with my loved ones.

Have a Healthy Thanks-Giving (+ Awakening Your Spiritual Journey)

It’s that time of year again — the holidays!

–

Thanksgiving is a day I treasure!

It’s when I get to see my momma.

But, I’m not going to see my eighty year old mom this year, which makes me feel sad.

I bet your holiday plans have changed, too.

–

So, I want to share my favorite Thanksgiving Reading with you.

I read it every year.

It’s my personal reminder of the sacredness of this holiday

Not only that, Howard Thurman is my favorite scholar!!

One of my greatest teachers and inspirational people.

This reading is from his book, For The Inward Journey, and it is entitled, “A Litany of Thanksgiving.”

–

Today, I make my Sacrament of Thanksgiving.

I begin with the simple things of my days:
Fresh air to breathe

Cool water to drink

The taste of food

The protection of houses and clothes

he comforts of home.

For all these I make an act of Thanksgiving this day!

I bring to mind all the warmth of humankind that I have known:
My mother’s arms

The strength of my father

The playmates of my childhood
The wonderful stories brought to me from the lives of many who talked of days gone by when fairies and giants and all kinds of magic held sway;
The tears I have shed

The tears I have seen

The excitement of laughter and the twinkle in the eye with its reminder that life is good.

For all these I make an act of Thanksgiving this day.

I finger one by one the messages of hope that awaited me at the crossroads:
The smile of approval from those who held in their hands the reins of my security;

The tightening of the grip in a single handshake when I feared the step before me in the darkness;

The whisper in my heart when the temptation was fiercest and the claims of appetite were not to be denied;

The crucial word said, the simple sentence from an open page when my decision hung in the balance.

For all these I make an act of Thanksgiving this day.

I pass before me the mainsprings of my heritage:
The fruits of the labors of countless generations who lived before me, without whom my own life would have no meaning;

The seers who saw visions and dreamed dreams;

The prophets who sensed a truth greater than the mind could grasp and whose words could only find fulfillment in the years which they would never see;

The workers whose sweat has watered the trees, the leaves of which are for the healing of the nations;
The pilgrims who set their sails for lands beyond all horizons, whose courage made paths into new worlds and far-off places;

The saviors whose blood was shed with a recklessness that only a dream could inspire and God could command.
For all this I make an act of Thanksgiving this day.

I linger over the meaning of my own life and the commitment to which I give the loyalty of my heart and mind:
The little purposes in which I have shared with my loves,

my desires,

my gifts;

The restlessness which bottoms all I do with its stark insistence that I have never done my best,

I have never reached for the highest;

The big hope that never quite deserts me,

that I and my kind will study war no more,

that love and tenderness and all the inner graces of Almighty affection will cover the life of the children of God as the waters cover the sea.

All these and more than mind can think and heart can feel,
I make as my sacrament of Thanksgiving to Thee,

Our Father, in humbleness of mind and simplicity of heart.

Dr. Howard Thurman

Isn’t that beautiful?

And, so very meaningful.
