Dear Friends,

I believe in Divine Appointments. There are those times when being in the right place at the right time, had to be a God scheduled happening. I am sure, like many of you, there were times when you felt you needed to be somewhere and just had to go. Once there, perhaps you met a person that became important to you, became involved in an activity or cause that speaks to your heart, or was there to support a friend or stranger. One never knows why some of the Divine Appointments happen. We know there is an exchange of God Energy, Universal Life, the I AM Radiance and Vibration when we are with people and in situations. We are called to remember we are God in action, wherever we are, and wherever we go.

Last Sunday, Steve and I had that Divine Appointment experience. We knew we needed to attend the Unity Church in Mira Mesa. We always receive an excellent message from Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell so we were looking forward to it. After a half hour of beautiful songs, Tibetan bowl sounds, prayer and silent meditation we could feel the Divine Presence in the sanctuary. It was palpable. There was a sense of calm, peace and serenity. And then for some reason during the silent meditation, I opened my eyes and saw a man in the front row fall down. Then a person next to him jumped up, while others came quickly down the aisle. Wendy saw what was happening and immediately said words to calm everyone, who at this point became aware of the medical emergency. She asked only nurses and doctors come down to assist. A call to 911 went out. Wendy told us to BREATHE in sync as mothers breathe when a baby is in distress and is held close. We did. Both Steve and I immediately held our hands out to allow the Divine Energy flow through us to the gentleman as we began prayer treatment. We knew God is all there is, everywhere flowing in and through all people and places. The Mighty I AM Spirit is the Wholeness of ALL. We continued our prayers in the silence, even as the medics worked on him, and after they left for the hospital. We knew beaming the light and speaking our word in prayer was our Divine Appointment for that day.

Where ever we are and wherever we go, let us always keep a high consciousnesses ready to BE that Light of God in all events and emergencies.
We know the Truth, we are Spiritual Beings having a human experience.
When we speak our word, it is God Power directed and acted upon. We know the active Presence in that sanctuary was GOD BEING GOD Among us, and the gentleman will live knowing he too was at the right place at the right time.

Always In My Divine Place,

Abigail and Steve

HONOR GOD THE FATHER AND THE MOTHER
From Whence All Came.
Dear Friends,
This Sunday, as you begin to honor your father or the person who has played a father role in your life, take a moment to Honor God as Father/Mother. We are grateful God wanted to experience Love as us so we were created.
Today we can celebrate God’s love with our fathers if they are still here, and remember them if they are not.
Let us remember not all fathers are biological. I was adopted and had a wonderful father. Fathers are those who love and care for us, provide for us, protect us, see the best in us even when we can’t see it in ourselves.
Fathers come in many shapes, sizes and genders. They can be moms raising children by themselves. They can be grandpas, uncles, brothers, adoptive, foster and many other father figures who have taken on the role of Dad.
Even if fathers are/were not always the best, this is the day we see the good in them, understand they were doing the best they could and find a memory that was a teaching moment. What did you learn from your dad?
Your dad was a child once, being blessed and loved by his father or dealing with a father that found fault, was uncaring or worse. To be clear, we do not honor abusive fathers. We need to stay away from them and when the time is right find it in our heart to forgive them.
Enjoy today with the fathers and family you love. Laugh, smile, bring out those old photo albums and remember the joy. Be grateful for the time together.
Happy Fathers Day.
With Honor and Gratitude,
Abigail and Steve

Dear Friends,

How inclusive are you? We talk about ‘inclusivity,’ and how we are against those who display racial or ethnic prejudices, sling slurs and say hurtful remarks. If we are really inclusive, we also stand with our LGBTQIA friends, our immigrant/refugee friends, and those who do not share our political views. In our New Thought Spiritual tradition, we believe there is only ONE GOD, One Spirit, One Mind, One Heart, One Essence, One LOVE that lives, moves and has Its Being within, and as us. In Spirit there are no differences to be found, because we are ONE.

I was reading an article about ‘Radical Inclusion’ in the June Science of Mind magazine, featuring Rev. Karen Fry and Rev. Dr. Petra Weddes. These are two ladies who came out declaring they were gay. It was difficult for both, however the center they lead “celebrates diversity and invites inclusion.”
How beautiful! Even in our inclusivity, we tend to label people, the immigrant, the Muslim, the gay, the person of color, the conservative,
the liberal etc. Dr. Petra said,
“I seriously work to identify myself as the Divine Self, the I AM That I AM. At the end of this life, at that point, I’ll no longer be white, blonde, female or gay, but I will still be
the I AM That I Am.”

In the end, when we leave this world all our identities will not matter. It will not matter what religion we follow, what color we are, what gender or preference we have, or what political views we have. What will matter is, how we lived our lives and showed up as the I AM THAT I AM. The Mighty I AM Spirit expresses through all people. As humans we are given a choice to express God being God or not. Are we expressing God as kindness, compassion, love, generosity, encouragement, and joy?
Or are we expressing the opposite? The qualities on the inside are far more important than the looks on the outside. Our qualities and consciousness are what we take with us when we move to the other side. It is what we have done here on earth to enhance humanity that will matter.

Dr. Petra says,
” We are not inclusive of every idea.
(You do not have to agree with everyone)
We are inclusive of every person! ”
(Agree or disagree, everyone has a place at our table).

Today, take an inventory. How inclusive are you?
Are you ready to go past the outer and look at the inner consciousness of people and see all of them as God beings? Everyone has the potential and everyone at some point in their eternal lives, will achieve it. That is our goal and that is our destiny.

Today BE your true self, BE the I AM THAT I AM and watch your
world change.

Loving Diversity & Inclusivity,
Abigail and Steve
