RHONDA’S NEW YEAR MESSAGE

Rev. Rhonda Joy Gola, Unity Minister

It has been another eventful year for us all, the months have flown by quickly and now with Christmas day almost upon us we are ready for the more relaxed days between Christmas and the New Year, that give us time to reflect upon the truth that the true gift of Christmas is our awakening to our Christ nature.

“Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not yet seen.” Hebrews 11:1

Rhonda’s Message

Rev. Rhonda Joy Gola, Unity Minister

How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in Unity- Psalm 133:3

It was my great joy again to facilitate our annual Unity Retreat. This year, 20 people, some new to Unity, and those who come each year gathered together to relax and enjoy each others company in the peaceful atmosphere and landscape of St. Francis. I appreciate all who attended for blessing me and I thank God for His grace that blessed us all. Read the full message…

We live in an awesome world. Make everyday an awesome day. Each day- live simply, love generously care deeply, speak kindly, and leave the rest to God.~ Author unknown

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.~ Johannes A. Gaertner

Unity Book Review

“THE SEVEN SPIRITUAL LAWS OF SUCCESS”

Cost: $34.99 Plus p/h $5.00

In this book Deepak Choprah talks about the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success which are powerful principles that will enable you to attain self-mastery. He believes that we need a more spiritual approach to success and to affluence, which is the abundant flow of all good things to us. When we understand these laws and apply them in our lives anything we want can be created, because the same laws that nature uses to create a star or a forest can also bring about the fulfilment of our deepest desires. This book gives a profound outline for conducting one’s life at the highest and most integrated level. The laws are explained and the steps set out for the reader to follow. I would recommend this book to all Truth students.

As Deepak Choprah says. “True Success is the unfolding of the divine within us.”
