Time Enough
I am in the right place, doing the right thing at the right time.
We are faced with many demands upon our time. If I were to allow anxiety to overwhelm me, I would not function at my highest and best.
I choose instead to turn within when I feel anxious--to breathe, relax and open my mind to divine ideas. I embrace peace rather than anxiety or concern; a sense of purpose rather than a sense of worry.
I discover that time serves me as I go calmly about my business. I am relieved as I act to the best of my ability. I give no thought to what I did last or what I must do next. Instead my complete attention is on the task at hand. This brings me a deep sense of satisfaction in all that I do.
I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live.--Ecclesiastes 3:12

Featured Article
It is a brand-new year, a wonderful time to
explore opportunities that never before seemed possible. Before coming to
Unity, New Year’s resolutions took the form of do’s and don’ts for me—like, I
should be nicer to my family and stop eating junk food! Once I started studying
spiritual principles, I learned a different way to envision my future.

Mind, Body and Spirit
Your Daily Word on 01/24/12 was one of those life-changing thoughts.
Yes, between the ongoing mind - body communication there is always the Spirit.
What a realization !
We know it, and we forget about it when the palpable matter becomes too dense..
I have read Daily Word for a while, and it has always been my canvas for each day, but this time I had to register just to be able to thank you for your kind, daily reminder of everything amazing we are constantly bathed in, only we sometimes forget..
Thank you. God bless you. Thank you.
Serving
I am always amazed on how God uses the Daily Word to help meet a need in my life. Tomorrow I will be leading my Church family in worship for the first time. It is needless to say I am anxious about it. I think I can understand how Moses felt...who me? I feel sure that God has called me to the posistion of being an Elder. The Spirit is sending me messages in all different ways through scripture, others, prayer, music, devotions and the list goes on. Our God is AWESOME indeed!!! I give thanks for those who tend to the Daily Word. God is using you in a mighty way! Blessings and peace to you and all who serve our loving God.

Daily Word-Prayer line
I am so forever grateful for Unity for the services they offer for everyone in need of their support. I for one have used their prayer service in more than one occasion. My husband is deployed again and prior to his deployment we were having problems and it continues on until today. Just 3 days ago, he had a chance to call me and we started fighting and the conversation ended with him telling me to not worry about him anymore and to move on with my life. I was so devastated. I have visited a Unity church before and I liked the teaching. I visited the website and called the prayer line. I can honestly say that they helped me more than I can say. They saved my life. I also read the Daily Word first thing in the morning. It gives me strength to face each day.

Your post about the phone call with your husband touched my heart so deeply I want you to know I'll be keeping you both in my daily prayers. Hearing the words not to "worry about him and move on with your life" would be devastating spoken in person, but while you're separated, I can only imagine how you felt. Thank God you used the resources Unity offers - it demonstrates your faith and trust in Him. Keep that faith strong and know that He is working in your life.
Peace and comfort to you always,
Nuvon

nuvon, your kind words mean so much to me. I really appreciate your prayers. It is always comforting to know that people care. My faith in God, my love for my two kids and my husband is the source of my strength right now. Having to move around quite a bit we constantly leave friends and family behind. It is always difficult to find support in time of need. The prayer line had been my source of support these past few days.
Thank you.

your short little is big with Godly comfort - may He Bless You most abundantly
Martin Luther King Jr
I felt disturbed when Dr King wasn't mentioned too. Yes, it's an American holiday;I feel that Dr King as a student of Gandhi and a Nobel Prize Winner is known & relevant to many people around the world.
I love statements of truth."I am a spiritual being in human expression." is wonderful, it applies to everyone as children of God. Too many times in this magazine are statements that don't apply to many Americans, not to mention to people around the world. Having snow, driving a car, lighting a fireplace, having a home and going to work are examples. Statements such as those are not stated as a hope, but as a current circumstance. What about those that have different circumstances? Don't truth statements transcend circumstance?
I hope DW will seriously consider this issue.
Thank U!
Martin Luther King Jr.
I too am a great believer in the values and dreams of Martin Luther King Jr. On January 16th, I deeply contemplated what this world be like today if he had lived and his dream was fulfilled.
There are many profound American/International Holidays throughout the year and I believe that DW always gives us something to ponder on those days without having to name names or spell it out for us. This year, the theme for January 16th was about being courageous and I chose to believe that the topic was in honor of Dr. King because that word exemplifies his life, his work, his dream. After reading the thought for the day I was reminded that, with God's love in my heart and Spirit's supporting inspiration, I can do my part to make Dr. King's dream a reality. Thank you DW!
yes too often as a christian
yes too often as a christian i feel i must not be proud or boastful. but the scriptures say "clothe yourself in majesty..." we are children of God. children of light, and while we must always be mindful to others and share that love, we can say we are princes and princesses in a way, because we are the children of THE KING!!!! if that doesnt make us proud i dont know what can!!! we should always share love and give, but as i am learning we should be confident in ourselves also, HE loves us and we walk in HIS light and power. peace and love to you. love yourselves and be proud of who you are...God is!
people helping people
I want to see a diffrence in the way people under achieve
by the way they think if they only realized their prescious in someones elses eyes and we all know him by one name only God
is our deliver remember call on him....
God dnt forget
