I expect everything I do to prosper. I enthusiastically expect success. I let good flow into my experience. I am expecting good in every direction I look. I am looking forward to more good. I am entering into a deeper understanding of life. I am recognizing my union with all people and all events.

The Essential Ernest  

by Ernest Holmes

 

The most dramatic transformation of nature is taking place now - the transition from winter to spring. While the natural world has been sleeping, seeds have been silently growing. Now new life springs onto the scene with such beauty.

 

Life echoes this theme. After a challenge comes the relief and the opportunity to celebrate. Are you seeking anything new? Take this time to contemplate and plant.

 

March 5th is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent - the forty-day period before Easter. Fasting is traditional. Followers of Science of Mind fast from negativity, self -doubt and inertia. Ashes painted on the foreheads of worshipers indicate a desire to release mistakes and accept God's forgiveness. Lent is a wonderful time to break the mold and BE BOLD!

SAVE WATER - GIVE THANKS FOR RAIN

New Community Service Project  

 

 

The great RAINstorm did not end the drought. Much of the water flowed to the ocean due to parched land. Efforts to save water need to continue.

 

How Much WATER Can YOU Save ???

PRIORITY TIPS: Conserve WATER

  1. Change any landscaping to drought resistant plants.
  2. Take a shower not a bath and make it SHORT. If you're brave, turn off water while you soap.

 

GRATITUDE PRAYER FOR RAIN

Knowing there is only One Power and One Presence and that it resides within every person, I now give thanks for the amazing rain that drenched our valley. I give thanks for all who continue in their efforts to conserve this precious resource and pray for more rain.

 

How good it is to know that if God ever answered prayer, God always answers Prayer. How grateful I am to know our prayers have been answered.
