Dear Friends,
“Michelangelo said, ‘Every block of stone has a statue inside it, and it is the task of the sculptor to find it.’ You and I have a divine spark within us, and it is our task to find it and live it.” (Ron Fox, Feb. Science of Mind Magazine)
I love these quotes because they are the truth of my being and your being. Being created out of God means God is inherently within us. Sometimes we forget our Divine Selves when we are in the midst of heartache, loss, work, family or health challenges. God never goes away, we just may not be in a place to hear or listen to the wisdom within. We know there is a deep calm and peace at the very center of a hurricane or tornado. We must always remember God, our peace and calm, is always at the center of us no matter what is taking place in our lives.
Ernest Holmes said, “No man goes unguided through life for we are all divine at the center and all are images, of the most high. Spirit is always available to guide us, but we must listen for the guidance.” (Feb. SoM)
We know this truth for ourselves and, although it may be challenging, we can know this truth for others. When someone is hurtful, outrageous, appears ignorant or uncouth, can we see the ANGEL in him or her? Can we see the God Divine in this person? Can we know the Truth about this person? I believe when we look for the angel, when we call forth the angel in our minds and hearts, it is heard and acted upon.
As a retired teacher I know for a fact the most unruly children are also God’s Angels. I only had to draw out the angel by stating words such as;
I love how you are working.
I love how you are careful.
I love how smart you are.
I love how you are kind to others.
The more the child HEARD these words, the more the child BECAME these words. One little challenging girl I had in Kindergarten would come back to me, when she was in 1st grade during recess, and say, “I wish I still had you for my teacher.” Today I can imagine she is probably a CEO at the head of some big organization. She had all the potential, and yet had to learn
to work and play with others.
In our work-a-day world we may not be able to speak angelic words out loud, however we can most certainly THINK them. Thoughts are prayers and heard on a subconscious level.
So today, SEE the ANGEL in each person. Tell them (thought, word, deed) how Divine, Gracious and Good they are. Enjoy the results.
Loving the Angel in You,
Abigail and Steve

Dear Friends,

Dee Pak Chopra said,
” We are all cells in the Body of God.”
“Meister Eckhart wrote the highest and dearest leave taking is… leaving God ….for God.’ that means leaving our idea of the sacred for an experience of the sacred. It means embodying divinity and acknowledging I AM THAT .”
(Jan Phillips, Unity Magazine).

Both of these quotes helped me to pause and consider GOD, who and what It is. Since we are all cells in the body of God, each one of us has a unique part to play and be AS God. We as humans, are sharing the life experience together in this dimension. Each one of us affects the other’s consciousness. Are you a positive, uplifting cell in God, or are you one to gossip and hurt others?
We know through science and metaphysics the cells in our own body are completely connected as well. When one area is ill, the rest of the body feels it. When we are happy, our whole body experiences joy.
When we pray we know our thoughts, words and intentions are HEARD, because God is not out there somewhere, God is within us, moving through us, being us, activating the Divine Outcome of the words we speak.
God within me is the same God in you. There is ONLY ONE GOD manifesting in and as everything. We are all emanations of the ONLY GOD, therefore completely connected at our core. Our prayers are knowing this TRUTH about ourselves which activates that same TRUTH in those we pray for.

The other day I was invited to be in a prayer circle to pray for a friend who was about to have surgery. I was at a mega church and the ladies were kind and beautiful souls. As the prayers began and each shared their prayers out loud, I realized they were praying TO God, TO Jesus, not from God within themselves, nor from their Christ Consciousness. I stood up to say my prayer and shared how I have a candle lit on my meditation table for her. I see her healthy and whole right now. Light and Love are within her now, flowing through her now and the medical team are now in the hands of God. The words we used were different, yet I know the intention of a Divine Outcome was what each one there wanted. Intentions count as much as words spoken.
God hears the heart. God is the heart.

The more I pray, the more I realize prayer begins with recognizing God in me. I ask for Divine Guidance within and I receive Divine guidance throughout the day.
One morning I was walking and thinking about a dear friend who is now in Hospice Care. I was so sad. All of a sudden a tiny hummingbird flew across my path, then swooped back and forth, up and down all around me for a least a minute I knew God within was sending me a message. My White Stone word for 2022 is JOY. The Hummingbird totem represents: “JOY, Happiness, adaptability, resiliency, flexibility, lifting negativity, openness to love, light, and lightness in approach to the unexpected….”(internet)
Having this hummingbird cross my path was definitely what I needed to see.
I KNEW I had to turn around and walk home. On my way home, the husband of my friend stopped his car and we talked. I KNEW God within orchestrated the hummingbird crossing my path, my turning around, and the time to have a sacred conversation with her husband.
This was all part of my God plan for the day. The beauty is, I was listening and followed my God Guidance (Intuition).

You, Me, Everything, All ONE. All related cells in the body of God, being guided by our INNER Knowing, INNER Wisdom, INNER Master.
Take time to observe, listen, change plans, take a detour.

Be the healthy, wisdom cell in God.

Listening & Acting on Guidance,
Abigail and Steve

Dear Friends,

I am sure many of you remember the heart touching movie,
“Pay it Forward.”

“The story of a social studies teacher who gives an assignment to his junior high school class to think of an idea to change the world for the better,
then put it into action. When one young student creates a plan for “paying forward” favors, he not only affects the life of his struggling single mother,
but he sets in motion an unprecedented wave of human kindness which, unbeknownst to him, has blossomed into a profound national phenomenon.” (Internet)

People often ponder, how can we bring peace into the world? How can we bring love, patience, kindness, compassion into the world? None of those beautiful
qualities are something that can be ordered by a head of country, company or faith leader. We as individuals must become peaceful, loving, patient,
kind and compassionate by choice. It always begins with me, you and all other people who are making choices to BE the change in the world you wish to see.

I have often noticed when I let someone in front of me while driving my car, there is a reciprocal response not long after. I am let in when I need to change lanes.
It happens every time. It is a simple pay it forward and most people are not even aware it is happening. Be aware and be mindful of the daily experiences
of paying it forward.

This month with Valentine’s Day coming up and being fully in the Season for Non-Violence we can make an extra effort to really become what we wish to see.
In the mornings, during your prayer and meditation time, decide on the virtue or value you intend to implement during the day. It could also be the word
on your New Year’s white stone. For every intention sets off a series of unexpected events to help you fulfill your promise for the day. Your loving actions
will always be felt and noticed even when you are not aware. Trust in the principle of “paying it forward,” knowing the kindness you give will open hearts
and those hearts will pay their kindness forward as well.

Be mindful that every thought, feeling, word and intention is always in motion and felt on the web of human consciousness. That being so, make it one that
uplifts, inspires, encourages so others can feel your heart based intentions and continue that consciousness by acts of Paying it Forward.

May you all have a beautiful Valentine’s Day. Pay it forward by sending a Valentine card to a friend, a co-worker, an acquaintance, a person going through
a health challenge. Watch the love blossom!
