Note from Chris

Greetings!  I want to mention how pleased and grateful I am to our Executive Director of Ministry Support at Unity on the Bay, Diana Perez. She approached me one day about writing these weekly articles for Facebook and our weekly e-blast. For me, it has been a wonderful way of staying in touch with my spiritual family and providing practical reminders on how to live each Sunday lesson throughout the week.
 
This Sunday we learned about the metaphysical AAA club card. We carry auto club cards in our wallets to protect us from mishaps on the road. We also carry our spiritual AAA cards in our minds to protect us from mishaps in life. Here's the formula:
 
Awareness: Begin observing yourself as much as possible. Act as if you were watching yourself in a movie. Try to stay in emotional objectivity as you watch the drama of your life unfold. When you see yourself in some manner you consider to be bad or inappropriate or non-spiritual, withhold the judgment. Just notice yourself.
 
Acceptance: Accept how you see yourself and your life experience. You don't have to always like what you see, but you can benefit greatly from saying, "this is the way it seems to be, to me...I will not judge or condemn it. I will accept it and be at peace with it in my life experience. I will not resist. I will not reject.
 
Appreciation: I will remind myself that, no matter what I think of my actions, behavior, thoughts or feelings, every part of me is exquisitely made by God. Even that which I judge as my darkest qualities can be used for goodness, and I am receptive bring light to my darkness. I choose to set my judgments aside, thus allowing the brilliance of God's presence to shine unimpeded in all that I am!

Join us...you've nothing to lose and everything to gain as together we prove the unending goodness of God!
