Rev Ron English: "Martin Luther King, Jr: The Use of Prayer for Courage"

I am so excited about this Sunday's speaker. When I saw that my friend Rev. Ron English was available for this Sunday I jumped at the chance to have him join us. Ron will be speaking on a topic close to our Unity heart: the use prayer for courage.

Ron grew up in Atlanta with Martin Luther King, Jr. He was ordained by King's father, who was his pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Ron worked closely with King Jr and many projects, and in the end, and spoke at Kings funeral. He is a special guy and a wonderful speaker. This will be a very special service.

Ron and I will be hosting a discussion immediately after the service.

Hello everyone,

Several people have requested the words to the poem that I read at this morning's church service.  It is also available at www.stewartstjohnlight.com on a YouTube video with beautiful ocean pictures (great for this time of the year).

"This Year" by Stewart St. John



This Year will be the best year of my life.

I will awaken to the magic around me.

It will be a return to enjoying the simple things like family and friends
.
It will be the year of less complaining and more appreciating.

It will be a year to be proud of not just my country but my planet.

This year I will laugh more, dance more, love more.
      And be healthier than ever because of it.

I'll spend more time with my children and find time to listen to a parent reflect on the good ol' days.

This year I will take that vacation I always wanted because I have the time.
      (I always did).

I'll discover true love in the eyes of the person looking back at me.

This year, I'll remember that I am Spirit in human form.
     We all are.

I will live more consciously, deliberately, joyfully.

I'll love myself for who I am, just the way I am, and celebrate my uniqueness.

This year IS my best year because I choose it to be.

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
