\u201cThere is a difference between WISHING for a thing and being READY to receive it. No one is ready for a thing, until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be BELIEF, not mere hope or wish. Open-mindedness is essential for belief.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0~\u00a0Napoleon Hill,\u00a0Think and Grow Rich<\/p>\n

Happy Sunday!<\/h2>\n

The weight of concern for my mother has been lifted from my heart.\u00a0 The hurtful emotions have been replaced by feelings of joy and peace; these are my indication that I have chosen wisely.
\nI dreamed big a couple of weeks ago asking for money so I can help out a situation that is a concern to me and, I believe, all of my family.\u00a0 The other evening with one short expression of concern to Peter the issue was released.\u00a0 We can do this!
\nA miracle!
\nMarianne Williamson always quotes ACIM as defining a Miracle as God giving a change of perception.
\nI experienced a big shift with crying and kissing of Peter as I realized \u2018we CAN do it!\u2019\u00a0 (It did concern me at first that at first it felt like I needed permission to even consider this but as Peter pointed out to me later it is our money and he would also seek my agreement in use of it.)
\nThere is so much to be grateful for.\u00a0 I am very grateful that Peter and I are of like mind in not letting fear of the future overwhelm us and keep us from doing what we know to be right today.\u00a0 I am grateful that I am able to release my own anxiety and that of my family so we can focus on making decisions based on what is best for Mom without money having to be a priority.\u00a0 I am grateful that I am realizing the abundance in my life.
\nI am putting my money to work for me!
\nMy siblings may see my mother\u2019s situation as a money pit and that may be the case in the natural.\u00a0 I am investing in the super-natural!\u00a0 I\u2019m making use of the Law of Attraction!\u00a0 I am releasing the fears surrounding money and will let it flow out in aid of others knowing it will return to me as I desire it.
\nChecks in the mail!
\nListening to Abraham yesterday there was a man who spoke who gave testimony to his success in just allowing LOA to flow abundance to him.\u00a0 He set his desire of \u2018checks in the mail\u2019 and they came until he no longer required them as he had created greater desires in life than money – he saw success in those things as well.
\nJoel was also on topic this morning \u2026 as usual.\u00a0 This is the year, he said, when God is giving what is due.\u00a0 We have held our Faith and God is delivering – this is LOA, staying in alignment and reaping what we sowed, our hearts desires fulfilled.\u00a0 Joel told the gospel story of the woman who held the belief that Jesus could heal her if should could get close enough to touch him.\u00a0 She put aside her doubts and held her belief strongly, once able to touch Jesus she was immediately healed and Jesus took notice of this.
\nHazrat Khan was also on point this morning giving me the following thoughts:
\nMan’s attitude is the secret of life, for it is upon man’s attitude that success and failure depend. Both man’s rise and fall depend upon his attitude. By attitude I mean that impulse which is like a battery behind the mechanism of thought. …\u00a0\u00a0There is hidden in our heart a wonderful power. It is a divine power, a sacred power, and it can be developed and cherished by keeping our attitude right.<\/em>
\nI awoke this morning and had the thought \u2018ruby slippers!\u2019\u00a0 I\u2019ve had the power all along!
\nJust as I learned that happiness is within me, there is more there as well.\u00a0 I am joyful in the realization that I am able to fill my own dream of \u2018big money\u2019 by just releasing the fear of lack and let what I have flow and get my money working for me.
\nLife is good.\u00a0 I am grateful for what I have been given and for what I can now give.
\nJoy is my purpose.
\n\u201cIf I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn’t there, I never really lost it to begin with.\u201d \u00a0~ \u00a0<\/em>L. Frank Baum<\/em>,\u00a0<\/em>The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
