Dear Friends,

“We are all CELLS in the body of God.”
Deepak Chopra
(quote shared from
Rev. Michelle Medrano)

“I am a LINK in the chain of creation….”
Detra Johnson RScP (April Science of Mind magazine)

I love these beautiful truths. It is so important to really feel like a cell, a link, in our humanity. Every cell has its place in the body, designed to do and be itself. Each cell is needed for the body to function. When one cell goes down, all cells are affected. When one cell is infected, all cells come to its aid to help it heal. We need to remember that our souls and our bodies are here for each other. We need to care for each other in the body of God.

Nature is teaching us, we as humans are completely connected to each other, to the environment, and to animals. As you can see in the picture above, the roots of the trees are all connected. They feel each others pain and joy. When one hurts, they all hurt. We can also see the hurt of people everyday, when we read the papers and watch TV. We cannot say, “Oh that is not me…” I say, YES it is me. I am ONE with and as that person. I am not separate. Animals are also entwined and connected to us. When we see elephants, whales, dolphins and other animals being hurt, abused or killed, it affects us. They too are important cells in the body of God. We are linked to them as well.

Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.”
How can we help and support our brothers and sisters, who have less than us, How can we help bring a little joy to them and to our animal friends, and mother nature? What is ours to do?

Each one of us must make the decision to lend our support.
We can:

Say daily prayers,
Light a candle,
Give financially to organizations that: help cloth and feed the homeless,
care for animals, work to preserve our environment.
Protest peacefully for causes that support equity and equality.
Write letters to your government officials on pending laws and legislation.
Write letters to your local newspapers expressing your opinion.
Read stories to children about our oneness and connectedness with all.
Take a walk among the trees and listen to their wisdom.

What other action fills and moves your heart?

As you take action, affirm:
I am a cell in the body of God.
I am a link in the chain of creation.
I give to and support others, for others are myself.

In Oneness,
Abigail and Steve
