Prosperity
I live in an abundant universe.

I give freely, not only of my financial resources, but also of my time, energy and love. I share from my willingness and eagerness to bless others. Whether I recycle gently-used household items, spend time tutoring a child, or volunteer to assist someone in need, I am giving from my heart. I receive the blessings of joy, satisfaction and gratitude as soon as I give to another.

As I give and receive, I realize that material possessions do not define prosperity. Prosperity is a mind-set, a consciousness, a knowing that everything we need is already supplied. My giving opens the way for God's blessings to circulate. I give from the knowledge that I live in an abundant universe.

The point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.--2 Corinthians 9:6



Gratitude
From a place of gratitude, I see beauty in everyone and everything.

When I adopt an attitude of gratitude, I create a shift in my outlook. Instead of seeing problems, I see opportunities. Instead of feeling hopeless, I feel hopeful. By focusing on what is working well, I invite more of the same.

When I let others know, "I am grateful for you," I create a connection of love and understanding. Through these simple words, I help others see their own beauty and the contribution they make in the world.

Through prayer, meditation or journal writing, I begin and end each day reflecting on the many ways Spirit blesses me. I approach life in a state of gratitude. I see the magnificence all around me, and I am filled with joy for all the good in this world.

We welcome this in every way and everywhere with utmost gratitude.--Acts 24:3

FOOTPRINTS...A New Telling - Unity version


FOOTPRINTS...A New Telling - Unity version 

Imagine you and Jesus, the Christ, are walking down the road together.  For much of the way, His footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying the pace.  

But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures, and returns.  

For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your footprints come more in line with the Christ, soon paralleling, His consistently...

You and the Christ are walking as true friends

This seems perfect, but then an interesting thing happens: Your footprints that once etched the sand next to Jesus' are now walking precisely in His steps.  

Inside His larger footprints are your smaller ones, you and the Christ are becoming one..  

This goes on for many miles, but gradually you notice another change.  The footprints inside the large footprints seem to grow larger.  

Eventually they disappear altogether. There is  only one set of footprints.. They have become one.

This goes on for a long time, but suddenly the second set of footprints is back. This time it seems even worse! Zigzags all over the place.  Stops.  Starts. Gashes in the sand.  A variable mess of prints.  

You are amazed and shocked.  Your dream ends. Now you pray:
  'Lord, I understand the first scene, with zigzags and fits.  I was learning. But You walked on through the storm and helped me learn to walk with You.'
 
'And when the smaller footprints were inside of Yours, I was actually learning to walk in Your steps, following You very closely..'   When the smaller footprints grew and filled in Yours, I suppose that I was becoming like You in every way.'  

'So, Lord, what happened? Was there a regression or something? The footprints separated, and this time it was worse than at first.'

There is a pause as I felt the answer, with a smile I felt in His voice inside me whispered.
 

'It was then that we danced!'  

 

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to weep, a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and a time to dance. Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
