Let Us Rise With Spring!
By Lois Crommelin
My God expresses herself to me first as mother earth. Along with that comes the sunshine, the rain, the breeze. Next is her unique fulfillment of all her physical beauty. To witness the first crocuses, then the daffodils and then the tulips is a miracle…the smell of the earth, the cut grass, the feel of the “dirt” in my hands as I weed and plant. Let us not forget the early morning chirping of the spring birds and the pecking of the woodpeckers. Yes! Let our spirits rise with the awakening of spring.
Purchase a new garment, get your hair styled, take nice walks, plant a huge smile on your face and hold up your head. It is time for your unique fulfillment of all your physical beauty… a time of spiritual renewal, prayer, meditation, some good books to read under the umbrella on the patio.
I love this quote from the Buddha:
“What you think; you become.
What you feel; you attract.
What you imagine; you create”.
Let us think positive thoughts of what is real. All that God has created is real and absolute. All else is the dream or the illusion. So I ask myself, what are positive thoughts? …anything which is in alignment with the love of God … prosperity of all kinds! Affirm thoughts of good health and happiness. Do you think positive thoughts about yourself? Your family members? Diverse groups of humans? Or do you get caught up in the drama of the illusion?
Because what you think; you become.
How do you feel about someone or something? Do you feel love for fellow man, or do you judge everyone? It’s important to feel healthy and happy and to feel that there is enough, because what you feel; you attract.
John Lennon sang, “Imagine”, one of my favorite songs of all times. Just think on those words, meditate and imagine. Let us create a wonderful life for ourselves and others through the use of our imagination, because what you imagine; you create.
Spring always wakes me up to the reality of what is real in my world and prompts me to take an inventory of myself. Life is good and wonder-filled and full of miracles! We just have to look for it and think upon it and imagine. I affirm that all of us are waking up and rising with spring. We are expressions of God in the flesh. Let us honor our bodies and spirits, and those of all man, regardless.
As we all grow with our loving Rev. Crystal, it’s such a pleasure to see how she and we are all a united front. She is a quick learner! And you all have been so supportive to her and to each other. We are a strong, rich & loving community, eager to gather together with the most hugs I have ever witnessed! Wow…….we hug!!!!!!
During one of our text sessions, Crystal said “I love you, Lois”. I texted back, “I love you more” and she replied “Impossible!” That says it all for our minister, don’t you think? So I’m sending unlimited blessings to all. Find the miracle of each day. Think good, feel good and imagine good because all good is of God.’’
I’m looking forward to your hugs, Lois
