Some wounds heal quickly and visibly, like the physical healing of a scratch or a burn. Other wounds may take more time to heal. A broken heart, a troubled life or a dampened spirit requires a greater depth of healing--healing of my body, mind and soul.  Every need for healing is an invitation to turn within to God for guidance and direction. As I enter into the silence to meditate and pray, I connect with the Source of both my physical and spiritual healing. I am guided to the ways of strength and wholeness. I receive the most vital and lasting form of health: the healing of my soul.  For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal.--Jeremiah 30:17   Renaissance Unity Saturday, November 21, 2009 – Not Alone “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.”~Robert Frost  Today's Affirmation I follow the path that Spirit illumines before me.  Today's Meditation Dear God,  When we are yielded and still and seek Your will, love lights the way. Thank You for nudging us onward, especially when we think we are lost. Wherever we are, whatever we are doing, You are with us.

I make time to visit a family member who has been ill or a friend who is grieving. I help a neighbor find a lost pet or attend to a child who needs a special moment of care or attention. I welcome opportunities to be of service, and I am rewarded with experiences that uplift me and others.  I tenderly offer my care, patiently give my time and thoughtfully demonstrate God's love by being attentive to the needs of others. As I serve, I receive even more. Seeing a smile returned fills me with appreciation. Any gift or attention I may have given to another blesses me abundantly in return.  Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights.--James 1:17  Renaissance Unity  Friday, November 20, 2009 – Spiritual Surrender "How many times have we called on God and then ignored the opportunities he sent? Maybe we didn't recognize them because they didn't take the form we expected. Spiritual surrender requires faith, but it also requires paying attention to opportunities and taking action. We need to look to God for guidance, to keep us on the right course, but we can't expect God to kick-start us every morning and deliver breakfast in bed." ~Kathy Cordova   Today's Affirmation Strengthened by faith, I act upon the opportunities God provides.  Today's Meditation Dear Mother/Father/God,  I surrender the pictures I have long held of the way I think things should happen. I surrender the outcomes I have attached to my goals and plans. I surrender the problems and challenges I have been holding onto by reliving and retelling them over and over. I surrender my stubbornness and rigidity. I surrender the pain from the past and fear of the future. I surrender any outmoded beliefs I still cling to. I surrender everything that is not part of Your plan for me. I accept and act on the guidance You provide when I ask. I say yes to the new life You are creating in and through me. I say yes to the rebirth of the Christ in me. I accept Your will as my own and I let it be. Amen Today's Daily Word - Friday, November 20, 2009 Attentive I demonstrate God's love by being attentive. Today I am attentive to the many ways I can be of service to others.

"I will pray for you" rolls naturally off my tongue. As I pray, I connect with that individual in Spirit and in love.  It may not come as easily to me to open my heart and pray for those who have treated me or someone else harshly. But I know that every soul deserves the upliftment of prayer. All of us carry a spark of the Christ Light. It is there for me to see if I see as God sees.  When I release any unforgiving thoughts or hostility, I allow God's grace and wisdom to pour through me. As I focus on the goodness in all people, I feel deep compassion. In prayer, I help create a space where all are healed, including me.  Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.--Matthew 5:44  Renaissance Unity Thursday, November 19, 2009 – Truth "I have faith in the truth, in its ability to find us....

This is a perception I can either hold on to or change. My perceptions can either pull me down or lift me higher. They can either serve me or limit me--the choice is mine.  I choose today to have a positive perception. I choose to focus on the blessings in my life instead of the hurts or anxieties. I choose to adopt an attitude of forgiveness rather than one of resentment. I choose to release the past, forgive and move forward.  As I forgive, I experience the peace and power of God's love at work in me and in my life. Through forgiveness, I am at one with God, and I am at peace.  Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Corinthians 2:10  Renaissance Unity Wednesday, November 18, 2009 - Aware "There are no little events in life, those we think of no consequence may be full of fate, and it is at our own risk if we neglect the acquaintances and opportunities that seem to be casually offered, and of small importance." ~Amelia E. Barr   Today's Affirmation My mind and heart are open and receptive.  Today's Meditation Dear God,  It is easy to see how or where I missed an opportunity. A job that was offered and declined or a casual remark that was not recognized for the possibility it contained. Perhaps I overlooked a detail or failed to follow up on something I thought was insignificant that turned out to be pivotal. Often, I held so tightly to my image of how things "should" be that I missed the wonder that was in front of me. If I focus at what I think might have been; I sacrifice here and now. So, I release the past and whatever thoughts I hold of missing anything. I am in the perfect place at the absolutely perfect time for me. I have learned to learn. I have learned to be open and receptive. I have learned to be watchful; knowing that the flow of divine ideas never stops. I have come to believe that You are not finished with me yet. I feel Your presence pouring into and through me as I open myself completely and surrender. In the sweet communion of silence, I spread my heart and mind like a canvas and wait to see what picture emerges from Your brush strokes. I am aware of the masterpiece that You are creating in me now. Thank You God. Amen Today's Daily Word - Wednesday, November 18, 2009 Forgive I am filled with peace as I choose to forgive. There may be times in my life when I feel I have been wronged by family, friends or coworkers.

At times, the search for some future perfection was an easy excuse for not being me.Now is the only time and I choose to be all that I am.Amen nonadult false Daily Inspiration text blog 0 0 0.0 http://affiliate.kickapps.com/service/displayKickPlace.kickAction?u=3490745&as=16936 http://media.kickstatic.com/kickapps/images/16936/photos/PHOTO_4596253_16936_3490745_ap_160X120.jpg false 0 0 1499386 3490745 Member 0 http://affiliate.kickapps.com/_Daily-Inspiration/BLOG/1497717/16936.html Today's Daily Word - Monday, November 16, 2009 Willing With a willing spirit, I express more of my Christ Light each day. Every change begins with willingness. It is the opening through which I invite more of God's abundance and wisdom into my life.  If I find myself wishing some area of my life were different, I bring this thought to God in prayer. I then ask myself, Am I willing to let go of past hurts and allow God's love to flow through my life? Am I willing to see myself as a perfect child of God, receptive to all of God's good? Am I willing to release limiting thoughts and beliefs and expand my understanding of God's power within me?  As a first step, I say "Yes, I am willing!" Step by step, with a willing spirit, I express more of my Christ Light each day.  Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.--Psalm 51:12  Renaissance Unity Monday, November 16, 2009 – Listening  "Not to react, not to revise or embellish or expound, not even to respond, but simply to listen is a gift. When we are able to be truly silent, to truly listen, then God can speak. This is a discipline. Mother Teresa points out that what we have to say is never as essential as what God says to us and through us: 'All our words are useless if they do not come from within. Words that do not carry the light of Christ only increase the darkness.'

We are automatically partnered."~Julia Cameron  Today's Affirmation I am co-creating a masterpiece as my life. Today's Meditation Dear God, I have long known that something incredible is wanting to be born through me.I feel something kicking at the edges of my consciousness, searching for a way through my life.I have also long known that the only block to this birthing is me.Today, I move beyond my fears and self-limiting beliefs.Today, I invite You to create through me now.I am not alone on this journey.Your Mind is at work through my mind.Your continuing process of creation is active in and as me.Now is the time and I am open.Thank You, God.Amen nonadult false Daily Inspiration text blog 0 0 0.0 http://affiliate.kickapps.com/service/displayKickPlace.kickAction?u=3490745&as=16936 http://media.kickstatic.com/kickapps/images/16936/photos/PHOTO_4596253_16936_3490745_ap_160X120.jpg false 0 0 1492294 3490745 Member 0 http://affiliate.kickapps.com/_Daily-Inspiration/BLOG/1490929/16936.html Today's Daily Word - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 Service I thank God for those who dedicate their lives to service. Through the ages, people have stepped forward and served to make their communities, their homelands and the world a better, safer place.

In God, I experience a life of greater joy, wisdom and prosperity.  From there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find him if you search after him with all your heart and soul.--Deuteronomy 4:29  Renaissance Unity  Saturday, November 7, 2009 – Beauty "Seeing beauty is about broadening our ability to recognize the interconnectedness of all manifestations of life and delighting in how the smells and sounds and tastes and sights that surround us conspire to draw us toward living fully."~Oriah Mountain Dreamer  Today's Affirmation I see beauty all around me. Today's Meditation Dear God, I behold the evidence of Your handiwork all around me.All of my senses tingle and sizzle with life when I take the time to notice.Every day contains hundreds of incredible moments, and each one reveals the interrelatedness of life.The smell of fresh coffee, the smile of the clerk at the grocery store,the notes to my favorite song playing on the radio, the honking of Canada geese as they fly overhead,the warm embrace of a longtime friend, the way warm water in the shower flows down my back,the warm feeling of my bed at the end of a long day,the sight of my freeway exit after a long trip,my neighbor's new puppy,sleeping in for an extra half hour,watching children jostle out of the school bus door, the crisp November air and the brilliant red leaves on a maple tree.Each element of life is connected in the most amazing ways.For all of these things, and the many others that surround me,I give You my thanks.May all the Earth celebrate the life we share.Amen nonadult false Daily Inspiration text blog 4 0 0.0 http://affiliate.kickapps.com/service/displayKickPlace.kickAction?u=3490745&as=16936 http://media.kickstatic.com/kickapps/images/16936/photos/PHOTO_4596253_16936_3490745_ap_160X120.jpg false 0 0 1466523 3490745 Member 0 http://affiliate.kickapps.com/_Daily-Inspiration/BLOG/1464823/16936.html Today's Daily Word - Friday, November 6, 2009 Prosperity I am blessed by the goodness of God. Prosperity manifests in my life in myriad ways--not only as money.

But again, I have a problem that needs to be addressed by you ASAP: The last time I sent you a question/remark about D. L. Hugley's TV program being canceled, you responded right away. Now that I have written to you about your own "shortcomings" in reference to the Inauguration DAY 2009 website, I get no response at all. This is quite disturbing. Did you not receive it? Do I need to send it again? I do need to hear something from you. In addition, I published the letter on my page of the website so others who are active will know about this initiative. We all need to hear something concrete from you. I realize that you are an extremely hard working man in all that you do -- which is considerable – but it is precisely why we appeal to you for your continued support. Moreover, we believe the site is well worth it. In respect to the detractors you received on the show from the failure of Black voters to participate in the state and local elections yesterday, I did not really blame you as others did -- how could we? But it was nevertheless a reality to observe that you did not bring the strength of your usual impetus to bear upon this election as you did for the presidential one as well as other concerns. Now we can't ignore that fact. You did not send your staff all over the country, as you normally do for these things, etc. But we can still only blame ourselves for our failure to come out in numbers to continue to effect change by participating in the voting process. In fact, to tell you the truth, I myself was so uninterested in the local elections that I did not actually keep up with it, and it was only because of your show’s commentary that I eventually forced myself and get out and vote before the polls closed. But I could only vote for two main positions of my interest because I had no information on the other two, so my vote only “half counted” in a way, and I felt rather ashamed of myself. So you see I do relate to the people who did not go out to vote or thought it was not important at this stage of the game. We just thought that things would take care of themselves. But we were wrong -- AGAIN! Yesterday was INDEED a wake-up call for all of us. But also for you, Tom Joyner. Unfortunately, I have to say that for all of your worth and work, it seems that WE STILL NEED YOU to urge and prompt us to do what we need to do. We have to take our LEADERS wherever we can get them these days, and it appears we have to rely on them until we become leaders ourselves. So please don’t give up on us. We can and still be moved to do the right thing when the time comes – I hope. But often we seem to wait until the last minute to do it. But if you had kept up the interest of the website INAUGURATION DAY 2009 -- or even changed its name to include continual diligence and vigilance on the political forefront, we as a group might have been able to speak out and help in so many ways. PLEASE RESPOND TO MY APPEAL TO YOU FOR CONTINUED SUPPORT. So until I receive a response from you, I believe I shall resend the former message at least once a week until you do. Please understand my concern. And thank you once again. Dear Mr. Joyner, First of all, Mr. Joyner, I still dearly love and respect you.

Knowing that the circle of giving is also receiving, I am grateful for all that I give and all that I receive.  Your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of everyone of you for one another is increasing.–2 Thessalonians 1:3   Renaissance Unity Monday, November 2, 2009 – Inner Power “Believe in yourself!

The “bone of contention” that we must “machinate” upon is your neglectful ownership of a website called “Inauguration Day 2009.” Tom, this is one time you started something that you have not finished. That is so unlike you. Your “Inauguration Day 2009” site serves as an excellent opportunity to promote social and political responsibility from your listeners. Through it you have attracted and inspired a small, diverse, capable, talented, noteworthy, verbal group of followers – some of whom have still managed to maintain communications on the site by addressing many of the important public issues of our times. I don’t know why they have chosen to hang on, but they have; and it may be for a purpose greater than you even realize just now. It is simply incredulous that you have allowed this significant opportunity to go to waste.       Tom, you are so savvy, that it is quite a wonder that you have not realized this yet. “Inauguration Day 2009” is an untapped resource that could be mobilized at your fingertips for helping to move and persuade public opinion, but you have chosen not to use it. You seem much more interested in the hottest new craze of text-messaging limited-content notes, rather than encouraging serious, in-depth discussion of issues that can “put the world’s mess to the test.” I have sent you a “Friend Request” that has lain dormant for nearly a year now. J. Anthony Brown and Sherryl Underwood are no better, because they have abandoned the site like their leader. And the usually astute Sybil Wilkes has not even chosen to create a page.  Why is that?  None of you has even been on the site for nearly a year. This is very frustrating. If the creator of the site shows no interest and concern, then the membership becomes truly uninspired, unresponsive, and thus most are inactive. Yet, somehow, a few newcomers appear about each month or so.  So I have decided to begin welcoming them for YOU.  I could have seen this site become a rallying point of writers, journalists, and thinkers, as well as anyone else in cultivating responses and actions that were sorely needed during the Congressional hearings this summer and elsewhere. We longed for a glimpse at other thoughts than those that screamed and screeched out at us over the media. And undoubtedly there are more scintillating times yet to come. With the publication of this Open Letter on my page of your site, as well as more directly in your contact point on Black America Web, I am hoping for a valid response. I must tell you in all candor, I expect no less than the best from you. That’s what you have given to the world so many times over – you can’t stop now.       In the meantime, I am going to try my best to encourage a little mobilizing on my own from those who are still thriving. But the effort would be so much more appealing coming from you. Finally, please explain the meaning of the site name. It may inspire more tenacity from more people. You are one of the cleverest businessmen we have encountered; surely you can find the means to make this site soar.

When we respect one another's differences, we collectively enhance the whole.  With gratitude for life in all its countless forms, I live in partnership with God's creation.  "May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another."--Romans 15:5   Renaissance Unity Friday, October 30, 2009 – Creativity  “When we set aside time each day for deep communion with the infinite, then, as surely as day follows night, the light of inspiration will illuminate our beings." ~Rev.
