05/02/2021 Sunday Services Notes

Hello again! I have new notes of spiritual thoughts that struck out to me during the meetings I attended on Sunday.

Community of Christ — 11:05 AM meeting

• John 15:8 — When did you become a disciple of Christ?

  • We are intimately connected + one with Earth and one another in the gospel of Christ.

    • What affects one affects us all.

    • Open your eyes and ears to see the suffering of others across the world, including other nations.

    • "For in their welfare resides your welfare." (D+C 163:4a)

    • The Father glorifies as we work to solve poverty, hunger, etc.

    • "How are you called to serve fruit?" — Spirit of Ubuntu

Mile Hi Church — 12:00 PM meeting —"Abundant Gratitude: How Gratitude makes us Rich"

• Stillness of mind allows access to God in our beings.

• "The substance that we deal with, in itself, is never limited, but we often are, because we draw only what we believe. Because we are limited is no reason why the Universe should have limitations. Our limitation is only our belief; life can give us a big thing or a little thing." — Ernest Holmes

• "If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is 'thank you,' it will be enough." — Meister Eckhart

• "Gratitude places you in the energy field of plenitude. Glow with gratitude and see how awe and joy will make their home in you." — Michael Beckwith

• We place thoughts between ourselves and God — lack and limitation.

  • That keeps us struggling to experience abundance from God.

  • Change belief system and approach interms of Abundance.

• Abundant Universe = gratitude

  • The Universe is meant to be abundant for EVERYONE.

  • When we embrace the abundant Universe, we can become channels of abundance in our lives and to bless the lives of other people.

• We are constantly using the Abundant Source that is God, sometimes without even knowing.

• Embrace Receivorship — "It's hard to give what you haven't chosen to receive."

  • Accept Life. We want to be one with Life.

• "Gratitude is the doorway to abundant living."

  • when the memory is stored in the heart, not the mind

  • engage in every day

• Gratitude Journals — Take time every night to write what you're grateful for.

  • There is more than enough abundance.

• Be grateful for the boring and the mundane.

  • Sending gratitude when paying bills ~ thankful for home

• UNCONDITIONAL 'THANK YOU'

  • Be grateful when we see other people with things we want.

  • Take resentful energy down and declare/manifest abundance instead.

  • Align ourselves with God. When others are profiting, we are also profiting.

• "When we learn to trust the Universe, we shall be happy, prosperous, and well. We must learn to come under that Divine Government, and accept the fact that Nature's table is ever filled. Never was there a Cosmic famine." — Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind p. 33.3
