New Day Unity Fellowship 
Wednesday December 27th, 2006
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERY ONE!
Many, Many Blessings!
IF ONE ADVANCES CONFIDENTLY IN THE DIRECTION OF THEIR DREAMS, AND ENDEAVORS TO LIVE THE LIFE WHICH THEY HAVE IMAGINED, THEY WILL MEET WITH A SUCCESS UNEXPECTED IN COMMON HOURS.
--H.D. THOREAU
This was so nicely demonstrated to the New Day Unity Fellowship recently in several ways:
During the 10AM Caribbean style service this past Christmas Eve, conducted by Jaclin and supported by the delightful singing talents of her neice Tacia, one could only admire the sincere compassion that went into the well planned and executed explanation of the Christ Child Story. Kudos there Jaclin!
Amid the polite and somewhat reserved outburst of Areeeeeba, laughter, and giggles due to missed musical cues, it became evident that the fellowship’s ears were just not in tune with the island’s musical beat of the conventional seasonal songs. We none the less put our enthusiasm out there and undoubtedly bonded in spirit and rejoiced in the birth of Jesus the Christ.
Through Jaclin’s demonstrative understanding that the Christ is in all of us, we joined the planetary rings in bringing universal love, praise and joy upon the Christ.
THANK YOU JACLIN.
Two days prior the Christmas, an unsolicited donation to the New Day Unity Fellowship arrived via a Christmas card from a gracious lady in Iowa. Who, though she has never attended one of our Sunday meetings, is impressed with the Wednesday Messages she received passed on from an other reader. Our gratitude is without measure and we thank our contributors.
January 7, 2010. ---1108 DAYS FROM NOW. Mark it on your calendar.
THE WEB SITE, not to be confused with this weekly information page, is nearing completion and you can bring it up on:
WWW.NEWDAYUNITYFELLOWHIP.COM OR
WWW.NEWDAYUNITYFELLOWSHIP.ORG
This will be a work constantly in progress with a few trained individuals from N.D.U.F. having access to do the additions and deletions as is necessary to maintain an up to date site.
Our thanks goes out to those who felt we needed an Internet site and donated the fees necessary to maintain proper operation for a while. THANK YOU. (I do not have authorization to release their names just yet, but, they know we all send a heart felt thank you and many blessings their way)
The operational system of this fellowship has continued to improve and gone farther, longer then some gave us credit for, but, my friends it is up to YOU, not just your elected leadership.
TO CONTINUE ACHIEVING GROWTH:
I ASK YOU TO GO FORTH AND TELL OTHERS YOU WILL find this inter-faith fellowship any Sunday 10AM in the building at 3109 LUTZ LAKE FERN ROAD.
We have NO intentions to remain the best kept secret in the universe.
IF YOU LIKE OUR WEDSNESDAY MESSAGES PASS THEM ON!
We have a message of Love, Life and Joy to give everyone who will receive.
We recognize the Christ in you NOT the clothes you wear.
We are an interfaith fellowship here to spiritually feed you, not beat you. The past was a learning experience for you, with us you experience a new day. . . .a new day to go forth and enjoy life as Jesus and other way showers did.
Wasted time is the hours, days, and years we are paralyzed in "what if" and "maybe." It's the empty space we create when we are obsessing on what will be tomorrow or what went wrong yesterday.
It is written that when a very learned spiritual teacher was on his death bed, all his students gathered around him and asked, "Master, please tell us, what was the most important thing you did in your life?" The teacher thought for a moment and answered, "What I am doing this very minute."
This is a deep concept. Out of all the time he spent learning, teaching, and doing the miraculous, the most important thing was what he was doing at that particular moment. In fact, that moment was the most important thing he had ever done.
What does this teach and reinforce for us? Thinking about the past or worrying about the future is a waste of time. It only takes us away from the importance of the moment we're in.
This doesn't mean to stop planning for the future or learning from past mistakes, but it does mean to be here now, as the pioneering teacher Ram Dass says. "How often are we with our loved ones and our minds are elsewhere? Or we're counseling a friend but we're thinking about the sports scores?"
When we are not completely focused on what we are doing, we are missing opportunities - opportunities to love, to learn, to laugh, to cry.
Doing something absentmindedly is the real definition of a missed opportunity.
Pay attention to how often you are checked out and why. Seek out teachers and friends who are not afraid to tell you when you are hiding and wasting your potential. Be here now...
...or come back later.
We ask you to pray to be led to the rock that is higher than us and join the New Day Unity Fellowship in that pursuit.
Blessings,
Fred & Kat >^. .^<
