DECEMBER 2022 – THOUGHTS FOR THE MONTH
2. What is it?
3. “You often say: ‘Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of Hosts’.”
4. Yes, it has become my favorite saying of late.
5. “Could you explain a couple of things for me? First, where did you hear it?”
6. It comes from ceremonies of both Jewish and Christian worship.
7. “Really, isn’t that interesting?” Yes, it is.
8. “Secondly, what does the word ‘Hosts’ mean?”
9. “Hosts” means all the creations that the Lord God has created. “Thank you.”
10. Would you like to say this affirmation with me?
11. “Yes, I would.”
12. Okay, together: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of Hosts.”
13. “That was nice; let’s say it again.”
14. Okay, together: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of Hosts.”
15. What are you experiencing as you say it?
16. “I’m not quite sure, but the saying seems to be speaking to me.”
17. Well, let’s try it again, together: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of Hosts.”
18. How about you trying it by yourself now?
19. “Okay, I will: ‘Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of Hosts’.”
20. Try this now: Say it, and then be quiet for a moment.
21. “Okay, I will: ‘Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of Hosts.'” (Pause)
22. “Wow, something within me feels very good.”
23. “It’s like I’m in the presence of the Lord God of Hosts!”
24. Perhaps, you are.
25. “I feel like I am one of the ‘Hosts’.”
26. Again, perhaps you are.
27. “Let’s say it again together: ‘Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of Hosts’.”
28. “I really like saying this. Let’s say it again together: ‘Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of Hosts’.”
29. “I think that I will say this on my own from now on.”
30. Now, you know why I say it so often.
31. “Thank you.”
MARCH 2023 – Thought for the month: Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God. (Matt. 5:8)
1. “You’ve been talking a lot lately about being ‘pure in heart’.”
2 “Could you explain a little more of what you mean?”
3. Yes, I am happy to do so…
4. But, I must first say that you have really been listening very attentively lately.
5. Today is the 18th Anniversary of Now Creations!!! What a gift we are to each other!!!
6. I am quite impressed by what you are allowing to sink in.
7. “Well, you know there is a reason for my listening better.”
8. “The things that you and Now Creations do have improved the quality of my life.”
9. “I’m thinking that I would like to join your group; the people there seem so much happier.”
10. We would be happy to have you join us!
11. Now, let’s get back to being “pure in heart”.
12. By being “pure in heart” I mean to be centered in the God-Spirit.
13. A lot of people do things because “they should” or because “they have to”.
14. Being “pure in heart” means that one is connected to the God-Spirit…
15. And, that one does things because “they are the right things to do”.
16. Nobody has to tell you to “do this” or “do that”.
17. You just see what needs to be done, and you do it.
18. You don’t make excuses or procrastinate, you just do it.
19. “Are there benefits of being ‘pure in heart’?”
20. You bet there are. Here are some of them.
21. First, you feel good in what you are doing–it helps others and yourself.
22. Secondly, you feel good from within–there’s a JOY inside of you.
23. Third, you feel like you are connected to All of Life–you are happy to be alive.
24. Fourth, you don’t judge others, but feel a sense of love and compassion for everyone.
25. Fifth, you go deeper within your own heart, and find the Heart of God.
26. Sixth, you just feel so good, from the inside out.
27. Seventh, you smile more, and feel good about yourself.
28. “Wow, all these things because you are ‘pure in heart’.”
29. Oh, yes, and many more.
30. “Such as…”
31. Read our thought for the month!
FEBRUARY 2023 – THOUGHTS FOR THE MONTH
2. Yes, I do. Glad that you noticed.
3. “May I also say that I am enjoying these monthly chats with you.”
4. Thank you. I enjoy them, too.
5. “Actually, I look forward to what you have to say each month.”
6. Thanks, again. I enjoy your comments as well.
7. “Okay, let’s get back to Love and Kindness.”
8. “I understand the importance of doing loving, kind things.”
9. “But, I think that you have something deeper on your mind.”
10. Deeper than what?
11. “Deeper than just surface things.”
12. You’re right. You are getting to know me very well.
13. “Yes, and I really like you, too.”
14. I really love you–Happy Valentine’s Day!
15. “I knew you would say something like that.”
16. It’s true; I do love you.
17. And, I love everyone else as well.
18. “I knew that you would say that, too.”
19. You are right: Love and Kindness are surface acts, but they run much deeper.
20. Love and Kindness are at the Center of your Being.
21. Love and Kindness come directly from the LOVE and KINDNESS of GOD.
22. Love and Kindness are the WAY we have been created.
23. Love and Kindness are what it means to be in the image and likeness of God.
24. Have you noticed how you feel when do loving and kind acts?
25. The act is one thing, but the feeling is quite another.
26. The feeling is “God-like”–it feels good within, around, and through you.
27. “You’re right: It does feel the Best.
28. “I’m a quick learner; rest assured that I will be more Loving and Kind each day.”
JANUARY 2023 – THOUGHTS FOR THE MONTH
2. Yes, and we were quite successful in doing so.
3. “Really?” Yes, REALLY!
4. “Did you have a theme?” Yes, we did.
5. The theme was: “Imagine yourself in the Consciousness of God”.
6. “That’s a pretty big ‘imagining’.”
7. Not really, after all we are created in the image and likeness of God.
8. “Yes, I know that, but who can live ‘like God’?”
9. We CAN!!!
10. “How can you?”
11. As I said, first accept the fact that you are made in the image and likeness of God.
12. “Yes, I’ve been taught that.”
13. I didn’t ask what you were taught; I asked if you “accepted the fact” that you are made in the image and likeness of God.
14. “Well, I guess I do–but, again, who can live that way?” I’ll get to that.
15. At least, you are off to a good start: You accept the fact of being created in the image and likeness of God.
16. Now that you’ve accepted the fact, ask yourself if you have the qualities of God.
17. “What do you mean by the ‘qualities of God’?”
18. I mean that you are powerful, intelligent, and loving.
19. “Yes, I display these qualities when I want to.”
20. Well, why wouldn’t you want to display these qualities all the time?
21. “I want to, but people and life-situations get in the way.”
22. Are you saying that people and life situations control you?
23. “Well, sometimes they do.”
24. Let me ask you again: Do people and life situations control you?
25. “I get your point.”
26. “So, you are saying that I have the qualities of God–it’s just a matter of me using them.”
27. Yes, that’s exactly it.
28. “And if I ‘imagine myself in God with these qualities’, then I could have Spiritualized the Holidays.”
29. Yes, that is it exactly.
30. “Well, I think that I will Spiritualize the whole year of 2023 with these God-qualities.”
31. Now, you’re cookin’!!!
