Rev. Elena's Musings....

 

                                   Dear Friends,

July brings so many wonderful thoughts and experiences - Independence Day with all the BBQ and fireworks, picnics, swimming, fresh fruits and vegetables, vacations, weddings, baseball, family reunions and more.

In all the activities and heat we can remember that all are gifts from God as we engage in living life to the fullest!

This month declare your independence from negative thoughts, words, and actions. We are all in the process of growing into our true potential - at times we fail - at times we are successful - we must remember that as we practice our potential we are growing in knowlege, faith, and love.

This month join us in making July a life tranformative month. Each day this month look for opportunites to give to someone else. The gift may be as simple as a helping hand, a kind word, or a listening ear. Often those gifts are the ones we withhold until deserved or until we have received. We must move from feeling that in order to give we must first receive something, or that our gifts must have a return for us. When we can give from love and compassion we begin to understand that we are only giving what God has already given us. We can not give something that is not ours to give.

God has provided for each one of us - the gifts of spirit, the power to choose, the ability to create - the key is to lead the way and begin now to live and be the Divine child of God you were created to express.

Send your experiences to me if you wish to share them on this website. At the end of the month review the gifts you gave and meditate on what you received in return - love, joy, friendship, an abundance of faith.

  Namasté,

  Rev. Elena Langstaff
