“IN ALL THINGS GIVE THANKS”
Ephesians 5:20
Dear
Friends
We
live in a universe that knows how to increase the energy on which we focus
our attention! It is, however, a regrettable human tendency to focus on what
we don’t have rather than the limitless good that we do
have. It is for this reason that we set aside one day each year to reflect
on the good in our lives; to give thanks for every blessing received and to
encourage each other not to take the gifts of life for granted.
An
attitude of gratitude brings with it a shift in consciousness that aligns us
with the fullness of life and on this special day we come together, as a
community, to celebrate two levels of gratitude: the kind we feel for the
material good that we receive and the more subtle kind we feel
for the gifts of Spirit that we give. When we can enter into
giving of our good to others with a sense of sincere gratitude for having it
to give, it changes the entire dynamic of the experience for everyone
involved.
The
members of The Board join me in thanking you for your continued support and
invite you to celebrate the Thanksgiving Service with us, on Sunday 20th
June at 9.30 am, when we will come together to give our collective
attention to the spiritual qualities that constitute the true nature of our
being.
We
also look forward to seeing you, after the service, at the Thanksgiving
Brunch that the social committee is arranging for us.
Blessings,
Helen |
