| A Teaspoon of Spiritual Nourishment |
| Happy New Year |
****A special New Years meditation and prayer for you. ****From, Tom & Mary: ****Today we stand on the threshold of a New Year, and if you’re like me you’ll be making out a list of ****resolutions. But keep in mind that... 'what you expect in the New Year' ... may be far more critical ***than what you resolve. ****Expectation is one of the most powerful, creative forces in the world. My dictionary says that expect ****means to consider a thing probable or certain. When we do that deep within our minds and hearts, ****it*has a transforming effect upon our lives. It is based on a sound principle... an internalized ****expectation becomes an externalized motivation. This simply means all the faculties of our mind, ****our thinking, our feeling, our believing, will create conditions that tend to make whatever we expect ****a reality. If I expect the worst I will immobilize my abilities and set up the patterns around me that ****produce the worst. But if I hold positive expectations, I will generate energies and potencies the will ****help bring them about.This New Year’s Eve, I hope you’ll join Mary and I in creating not just ****resolutions, but expectations. Great expectations! Stretched before us are three hundred and sixty- ****five days. God is **the source and fulfiller **of them all. With Him and faith-filled expectations ****planted in our lives, this year can be our most wondrous adventure yet! ****Mary and I finish our after-breakfast prayer session, ****by saying this wonderful prayer. It encompasses all of the above. |

| **** |
| I have a strong serene feeling that God is planning something good for us today. I cannot explain it, but I have this deep feeling that he has something wonderful in store for us. I am expecting God to surprise us with his tender mercy. He will turn our hurts into halos, and He is guiding our life in such a way that whatever happens to us today will prove to be a blessing. Thank you, Lord, Amen. |
