A good time
+++++++++++++++++++

Now is a good time to finally accomplish some of those things you’ve been meaning to do. Now is a good time to be thankful for all that you have and for all the positive possibilities open to you.\

Now is a good time to set yourself free from the limiting thoughts that may be holding you back. Now is a good time to open your eyes and to more fully realize how very much you can do.

Now is a good time to connect with your highest vision of how good life can be. Now is a good time to focus yourself on making that vision come true.

Now is a good time to sincerely show others, with your words, your actions, your life, how much you care. Now is a good time to take the best of who you can be and use it to create real, lasting value for your world.

Now is a good time to pause and reflect on who you are and on the unique gifts that you have to give. Now is a good time to experience the real joy that comes from making a positive difference.

What makes now such a good time for all these things?
Because it is here and it is yours to fully live, now.

Growth

Jane Tyson Clement

At what instant does the summer change?
What subtle chemistry of air
and sunlight on the clean and windsmooth sand?
The small birds at the water’s edge—
yesterday they were not there.

So suddenly the magic door is shut,
the trio suddenly is done,
the clasped hands inexplicably apart;
however clear, however bright,
the road we traveled on is gone.

From Jane Tyson Clement, “No One Can Stem the Tide”

Luke 17:11-19

“And it came about while He (Jesus) was on the way to Jerusalem, that He was passing between Samaria and Galilee. And as He entered a certain village, ten leprous men who stood at a distance met Him; and they raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

“And when He saw them, He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And it came about that as they were going, they were cleansed.”

“Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice, and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan.”

“And Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine– where are they? Was no one found who turned back to give glory to God, except this foreigner?” And He said to him, “Rise, and go your way; your faith has made you well.” Luke 17:11-19 (NAS) Forward to a friend

John 15:1-8

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it, that it may bear more fruit.”
“You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me.”

“I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch, and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.”

“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.” John 15:1-8 (NAS)
