Rev. Elena's Musings....

 

                          Dear Friends,

Are we having fun yet? The snow is here and continues to blanket us with God's cold beauty!

This is a wonderful time to count your blessings and plan for warmer days. The snow brings us a higher water shed and lessens the amount of insects we will have this summer.

This is the year of LIVING IN PROSPERITY. We must each choose to live each moment in the prosperity of God. That prosperity is not limited to financial blessings, yet does include them. God's prosperity is about your moment to moment consciousness, filled with knowing that God is your source and not man.

God blesses us with opportunities, possibilities, and in times of quiet we discover our oneness with abundance, love, peace, joy, and wholeness.

We begin by maintaining our conscious unity with God, and not the world of appearances where lack, limitation, pain, suffering rule. These are all temporary and not eternal. In the moment of need, our humanity knows fear, anger and need, yet, our Spirit knows that this moment all is well. We must become conscious of our thoughts and direct them to God's good, knowing that "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26).

Clarify your thoughts, desires, and needs in your mind. Write them down and meditate upon them. What do you want to eliminate from your life? What do you want to bring into your life? What are you thankful for?

Prosperity involves eliminating what does not serve your highest good, clarity about what you truly do want in your life and what you feel gratitude for that is already in your life.

Gratitude is so important for a peaceful, prosperous life. Gratitude for what is already manifest in your life opens the door to receiving more good. If you cannot recognize your current blessings how can you recognize more? Blessings are attracted to a thankful heart and mind.

You are the beloved child of God, created to live in an abundant universe. The abundance of God is already yours, claim it with clarity, gratitude and knowing that man is not your source of good-

There is only one Source - God.

Namasté,

Rev. Elena Langstaff
