Merry Christmas!

"Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart" Luke 2:19

Part of the Christmastime is presents! Yeah! Big ones! small ones, and teeeny tiny little bitty ones in a stocking hung by the fireplace... OOOOH, Yeah!

But some of the best gifts in the world do not come wrapped up in shiny paper. The gift of friends and family , whether it is the family we were born into or one the universe has provided for us. How do you wrap up love, hugs, laughter and the gift of time spent with loved ones whether born of blood or gathered through your years?

How about camaraderie, harmony, peace and personal prayer? They come to us in various ways during the year, each gift we receive to be treasured for sure, but, how glorious it will be if we will just let it this abundance flow through us to share with others every day throughout the year.

His name is Emmanuel, "God is with you " for ALL men, amen.

"Abide in my love" John 15:9
As you light the 3rd candle of the Advent this Sunday and stare into the flame let us be reminded of that love within our own biological bubble radiating out to all those around us.
Let us all so recall John 14, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you" In order for us to enjoy the flickering flame of love radiating to unite with those children of God within other countries, we have to first establish the peace within. To do so we must remember what comes out of our mouth goes directly to our ears and causes impulses to our body for some sort of activity. With prayer peace comes over you and only sounds of tolerance, love and respect are demonstrated.
Indeed let us rejoice in the time of the year with love flowing out from individual to individual, following that one shinning star in life all around the earth not only just the next few days,,,,,but for days and months beyond
Blessings,

January is coming, quickly! Are you ready to take the challenge? Can you make it for 21 consecutive days? 8 out of 10 will fail and have to start over---or you up to it? Details December 30 th at the Sunday celebration. Game? or lame? up to you!

YOU DID IT! Thanks to all of you who sent in funds and soft animals, our house is back to the usual cluttered self. 133 soft cuddly bundles of comfort were turned over to Dawn for donation to the Haley House, the place families with little children get to reacquaint them selves with their parent's wounded from Afghanistan and Iraq. We got everything from buffalos ,to unicorns, to bears ,to fuzzy caterpillars . Once again thank you all.

Welcome I would like to remind you of our logo.

Please notice the rising sun above a beach with a palm tree. The sun reflects into the stream which flows into New Day Unity Fellowship.

You will also note a butterfly.

Some believe butterflies do not have a long life span, but they believe in error. The butterfly goes through much to become the creature of beauty that it is. It can remain dormant in its pupal/larvae stage even in so much time to survive winters to become a butterfly Adult butterflies can live up to nearly a year.

Humans on average take 266 days to produce a newborn child. Patience wins as eager parents await the birth of their children.

The birthing process also has its drama. Not always so easy and sometimes long and painful, the birth process doesn't always happen as expected.

If we are waiting on a hamster, we will see its young in 16.5 days, a ground squirrel in 28 days or a chipmunk in 31.


But what if you are an elephant do you stomp your feet in impatience? Does an elephant give up because butterflies evolve, children are born? An elephant still waits and those chipmunks and hamsters keep adding up under their feet.

Elephants must wait and average of 645 days for the birth of their young.

Now you are probably wondering what all this talk of birth and transformation is all about.

Time. Patience. Faith. Do we have these three things? Are we willing to give these three things in the birth process of our Fellowship? And your pursuits, you may substitute any other word for Fellowship.

I don’t know about you, but New Day Unity Fellowship is an idea that is bigger than a butterfly, it is bigger than any one of us, I believe it is even bigger than any elephant and if it takes 645 days to bring forth an elephant then I have patience and I have faith and God willing the time to wait upon this miracle we call New Day Unity Fellowship.

"No thank you, I ate today, there are those over there worse off then me!"
This was a very unselfish remark from one of the 32 people that the team from New Day encountered Saturday....look at this closely---what a message! How many of us know what day it is by the fact we ate this particular day or not. This person only owned a cardboard box and a small bag of personal treasures yet the interest shown to her as a child of god, went right to her heart. Out of concern for the others around her, she would relinquish the offering of food so that others might eat. Much more of this day could be elaborated upon, but the simple act of this homeless lady said it all of Hebrews 13:16 "do not forget, do good and to share "
Blessings,
fred

The soft stuffed animals are starting to come in now, what a joy, I feel like I am in the middle of a fuzzy warehouse of love.

Being a veteran, a VA Hospital Chaplain's assistant, I can not express enough the comfort these little stuffed animals will bring to a child that has to face his mom or dad recovering in a hospital. The parent in a condition other than the image the day the soldier parent left home as they deployed overseas. In some cases this will be of a traumatic mind setting event for the young child, so it is, that, I thank you with a deepest heartfelt thank you in advance for your donations from your heart to some unknown child....Fred

SOUP IS ON!!!!! The team that distributed the soup Saturday was backed by the efforts of many of the members of the fellowship. It would take too many pages to list you all and I am sure I would forget someone,,,(I am just not that good a typist) none the less, thank you all.....two things we found most requested were more of the daily words, and water...the water we will budget for, but, if any of you have any old daily words let us know. I will pick them up locally or please mail them to our post office box and we will ensure they are distributed with each monthly soup distribution.
We will be distributing soup once a month until April when the trend is for the homeless children of God to go back north.

This project requires 8 ounce cups or soup bowls with lids and plastic spoons, we will most graciously accept any donations to assist this endeavor.

Oil prices are soaring due to speculation motivated by Fear! Some call it the black gold! But is it really? Are those who are making the big bucks now really prosperous ? or Just wealthy.
It only takes a little concerted effort of a few less trips in the car, may be a hybrid car, may be actually walking or riding a bicycle for that short trip,--saying no to plastic or paper while using a cloth bag for your shopping, (nice sewing project) little things like this can ruin the financial day of the very few egos who think they are controlling oil prices now.

The wealthiest place on the earth is not high rise glass offices, or the oil fields of the middle east, wall street and all those lofty houses on the hill, nor is it the gold of the Yukon streams ---nope, not even the diamond mines in South Africa.

Ironically the wealthiest place on earth is those cemeteries outside of every small town and hamlet in this world. Full of the woulda's, coulda's, shoulda's ---but didn't!!!!!
Why bite into the apple of deception put out by the material egos.

God deposited a gift--a treasure inside of each and every one of his children, gifts, talents or skills that you can do well in a specific area. Do not take that lightly nor for granted, but, you have to do your part to bring it forth.

Do not let your wondrous being join all that wealth underground ---- letting your treasure just lie in a grave---write that book!---Sing that song!---compose that music score and dance that dance. Paint that portrait---love that child.

But most of all laugh and love and be aware of all that is truly valuable going on around you.
You want to start a business, do it! Quit talking about it, praying about it! Move a foot, spark a brain cell, Do something! ---- simply by pausing a little bit each day and go into prayer---meditate---not just listen but-- Hear-- what the universe is responding to you about; take that step toward the dreams and passions of your heart.

Compared to wealth, Your prosperity is unlimited and will carry on for generations to come in the hearts of millions ---unlike the ever changing dollar bill that will never leave the planet.

The next time anyone makes you feel you are not much taller then the travel velocity gnome---pause for a moment and let a warm smile come over your face as you recall: YOU come from a long line of champions! Their D.N.A. is your DNA!
Your Father brought into existence all the stars of the galaxy's--in fact all the galaxy's if you please kind sir/mam--- simply by his word.
Moses parted the sea---that is great faith----David defeated Goliath-the power of love to overcome fear.
Why Samson toppled buildings--demonstrating great inter strength flowing through your veins. To say nothing of Nehemiah going against all odds to rebuild those walls anyway, that certainly explains your determination and persistence.
Who can over look Queen Ester putting her life on the line--demonstrating that sacrifice and heroism is not limited jut to you men, bringing that into perspective I know of a woman in Iowa that took over and runs a construction company--She is a true heroic queen I can relate to.
So what about these times? Well Jessie Owens showed the "Master Race" we are all equal at the Olympic games. Ghandi demonstrated that man can coexist with out senseless bloodshed. and Mother Theresa--the frail lady in the blue habit proving there is great prosperity among all the squalor...
No, do not feel any less of any other human being, just send love and light to them and smile, you are a Child of God with the total free will to accept or ignore the perception of you others may have. You know who you are!

Blessings;

Fred.

These are times when you have no clue as to what you need to do or must do. However, what you must always remember is that you are only to be you and be thankful for the you that is.

You are a creature of God and as that creature, you are cared for daily, hourly and moment to moment. You are at the forefront of the mind of God whether it is abundantly apparent to you or not.

Worry blocks the good. If worry sets in sing a song of praise, dance to a song of praise or go for a walk and witness God's glory all around you.

This is not the matrix as glamorous as Hollywood tried to make it seem. This is what was created for your enjoyment and your praise of our Father who makes it entirely possible for all good to happen.

Blessings,

"What we leave behind is not engraved in the stone monuments but woven into the lives of others." Pericles.

Recently I was compelled by my four brothers and a sister to do a portion of our mother's funeral. Some would say our mother was full of vim and vinegar, after her children left home she simply adopted any and all children of the community from 9 days to 90 years old. She so enjoyed all those around her from great grandchildren, to baseball teams of local kids, from the members of her church, bingo, senior citizen center,community or her most endeared society of police officers. In short she enjoyed life and passed this feeling on through her cookies of love to all those around her. I, quite frankly, was not certain that I could maintain my composure doing this funeral with out blubbering all over the place and making a general mess of things. Just because my brothers thought all the funerals I have done would qualify me to do our mother's funeral----come on!

The priest was insistent that the ceremony would be by the book with all the pomp and glory of a Catholic funeral, of course I wanted to display the proper respect and dignity to this well respected small town woman-but-I was determined that this was to be a celebration of the life of this child of God, this epitome of the Good Samaritan, this lady who enjoyed life so much all of the "39 years" she claimed to be on this planet during the past 80 years we had observed her.

During the viewing as she lay amongst her pillow of angel pins, bears,brightly colored vest and other little trinkets left by so many of the town, A calmness came over me for I realized just how much she was at true peace. I knew I would be fine---the strength of God was with me.

The angel of death can teach us to live everyday as if it were the last day of our life. That angel makes it clear that everyday belongs to God, everything belongs to God. When our time is called--when our lease is up--all that money...all those fancy cars...all those houses and friends are really only on loan to those who come into alignment with the universe and claim them.

When we try to live in the past--how can we possibly enjoy the present! The time is NOW to tell that someone special they count in your life--not tomorrow--not 20 minutes from now--right this moment--there is no tomorrow until you get there---then maybe by the grace of God there will be another.

NOW--IS one more New Day to be your true self---use it with gratitude to God!

Blessings

During the reading of "The Toltec book of Wisdom," an ancient writing of the Myans ,a point stuck in my craw, my thought pattern. Unless we wake up, all our lives we bite the apple of social agreement to be what other's perceive us to be, forever searching within our selves for some peace in the knowledge of who we really are.

We create an image of how we should be in order to be accepted by everyone, then reject, abuse,punish ourselves when we do not reach that perfect image GOD IS LIFE AND LIFE FLOWS THROUGH MAN, OUR BIGGEST FEAR IS NOT DEATH,---- RATHER OUR BIGGEST FEAR IS TAKING THE RISK TO BE ALIVE---THE RISK OF NOT LIVING OUR LIVES AS OTHERS PERCIEVE US TO LIVE IT.

Who are you? I DO NOT KNOW! YOU ARE YOU-- AND-- I AM I--- BOTH CONNECTED TO THE SAME GOD, SO WHY NOT Take that personal question to prayer--meditation--listening (hearing) and acting upon those positive thoughts coming to you. After all where did the positive aspects of this universe come from?

Maybe something is trying to tell you to be who you really are. Is that so bad to say of a person, "they are in alignment with the source of us all?"

John 10:10 "I have come so that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly"

Do not resist life passing through you because that is the breath of God-----that is God----that is God flowing through you. The very fact of your existence prove the existence of life and energy itself....your very existence demonstrates the presence of God!
So if God is Life! God is life in action through you.

Then as I see it, the best way to say "thank you God" is by letting go of wishing things to be different then they way they are right---- NOW!

A full life is enjoying what is happening right now, that is living!
Just be that child of life, that joy to the heavens--that praise to the father by enjoying life NOW!

"The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way" Proverbs 8:22

Thoughts held in mind produce a spark for you to change the direction of your life, you pray for it surely you are listening and hearing what the universe is sending back. There are no flashing neon signs blinking "Get ready! Get ready! Here we come to do something big in your life today!"

It is simply a "meat and potatoes" type of conversation!

Here is what is needed to be done to reach a goal your wish. He can direct you but, you are the person who is going to have to move, get up off that couch from in front of the TV or computer and do whatever is needed---don't wait for the cymbals or drum roll, they are not coming...

In the words of Peter from “The Message”
“I'm glad from the inside out, ecstatic
I've pitched my tent in the Land of Hope” (Acts 2:26)


What do you do when your well has gone dry?

By definition, a well is said to have gone dry when the level of water drops below the pump intake. In this same definition it goes on to state that a dry well doesn’t mean it will never have water in it again.

This is a thought to ponder.

Bedouins will leave one oasis after their well goes dry and search the desert until another is found. The cycle continues as each subsequent well goes dry. There is never any mention of one particular well being better than any other well just that it quenches the thirst and provides the necessary fluid to maintain life. Many search their lifetime and never find their oasis.

Settlers on the other hand will take one of three routes only taking the third after the first two do not succeed. The debate is whether prayer or digging deeper is the first step or action. Some say this is done simultaneously. Possibly the settler will find another location on their property to dig another well. Only after following through with digging and/or prayer without success will they consider moving on.

Travelers the world over can remember the sweet taste of the water at their home and develop a yearning to sip that memorable flavor once again. Just because you visit other wells does not mean you cannot return to the well your heart remembers.

PROJECT GREEN: Never hose your driveway, patio or sidewalk -- use a broom instead.

"for as he thinketh within himself, so is he" Proverbs 23:7

A good habit to cultivate and develop as you stand every morning before that mirror mesmerized at your reflected tooth brushing skills, foamy mouth and all, is to stand there and affirm that every thought you will have today meeting the days challenges and circumstances of life will be only a positive thought.
It is a Positive thought day! It is a New Day.

All this strange weather going on, Hawaii, Mexico the Caribbean islands with hurricanes, flooding in the plains states and central northern states, earth quakes and volcano’s erupting or near it, typhoons and tsunamis, Ice bergs melting. And of course…Heat! Heat! Heat! Some say : IT IS THE END TIMES! JUST PRAY!

Could it be the universe is trying to tell us something folks?!
Like maybe this global warming thing is real!

We have lived in Florida since 86 and can see the difference in the climate here, at the present rate they are cutting down the trees and putting up way overpriced buildings, of which people are not buying, soon this will be the great Florida desert from the middle of the state south to the Keys. But you will have plenty of room to park your car, just no air to walk from it to what ever.

I can definitely agree that praying will help, think of the positive energy that “two or more in His name” can create! Magnify that positive human input by the “coexistence” of the world prayer and what a New Day upon this earth that would be!

I wonder maybe all it takes if for us to pause for just a moment and quit worrying about how various religious fractions prayed to the One Power the One Presence in the universe, God and just took a single, teeny-weeny, little step--- towards the global warming problem---- maybe just maybe that could possibly assist with a peace beyond comprehension.

Blessings
Fred.

ONE CHURCH TWO LANGUAGES:

Most people want to do this project or reach that goal or maybe have this job or that career. As you talk to them about it, you realize that all they can see is a mountain in their way. The “I can’t” is sung the loudest of the tunes, they think their simple, little efforts will not even dent that mountain.

Recently I saw on tv a young man not quite the teenager yet that had defied the odds.
The young man turned a deaf ear to all those negative singers and went out to successfully climb Kilimanjaro.

How? One foot in front of the other, step after step from the bottom to the summit.
Why? He described it as an over whelming inner urge to do it.

I prefer to think it was the creator of the universe using this boy to show all of us that no matter how big our problem appears,--- nor how high frustration towers over us. No matter how rocky our road, or challenging our climb may be from where we are now to where we want to be-----all we need to do is put down one step after the other and move in a focused direction------ That first step is prayer! Then mediate! Then listen and hear! Finally bring that foot forward again with the forth step.

Suddenly you are not over there----you are over here!

After all the mountain was formed one bit of matter at a time.

Blessings
Fred.

Life's Challenge

If times like this were constant
and not just once in a while,
Life would be too sublime
to develop one's individual style.
Let bad times roll off your shoulders
and a smile smooth away the tears.
Or the troubles become boulders
blocking your way to coming years.
Your path may be a smooth one
if you choose to see it that way,
Believe that things will get better
and it will just soon one day.
If you believe that things are rough
and you just can't go another mile.
Your heart may feel like it's breaking
but it only lasts for a while.
Give thanks for the moment of learning
and praise for the chance to believe
that life is just an adventure
with new chapters there to retrieve.

~K.Rich,1997

"I believe that to meet the challenges of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for oneself, one's own family or nation, but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace."

“What are you going to do to make the situation better?”
Dr. Will Dungy

So much to do, the moment our eyes are open we are into the shower, and out the door to begin to tackle all the hassle of the day.
Problems just seem to pile up around us, getting heavier and heavier upon our shoulders until we just do not know what to do! We are so frustrated!

As Emily Cady states “our hearts cry out”

Why doesn’t God Help Me?
maybe “you didn’t ask”.

All that joy and beauty we want to know through out the day but can not find, well maybe “you didn’t seek”

At moments we have a fleeting thought of a prayer to find the solace of God,
maybe “you did not knock”.

Make a situation better?

I done know maybe if tomorrow as my eyes pop open, I would just pause and say a prayer of thanks, then stating I am open and receptive to the positive guidance for that day”
Maybe if I will just listen for and hear the reply from the universe then follow the instructions given through out the day.

Maybe if I would just put god first in all that I do I wouldn’t even have to be concerned about what kind of day I was going to have.
Hmmmmmm!

Blessings,

Fred


MAGIC PENNY:

The first of the month we asked the fellowship to put the “magic” back into the penny by letting no penny lay upon ground where ever we find it.
