Page 1 of 4 Mid-week Inspiration,
Welcome to Christmas, the day that is. Hopefully for you for me, for all of us it remains alive every day in our hearts. This day is a reminder of the light of God, of your divinity, that is born again to you every time you re-member the truth of who you are.
This day is the culmination for each of us of a year of spiritual growth, of awakening to our own magnificence. The true meaning of Christmas is in the warmth of family and friends that we have brought into our lives through a smile, an action and an outreaching hand. It has nothing to do with the day and every thing to do with the life, the moment and the passion for living a better world.
I must today acknowledge some of the many changes for myself, our Centre and Light Mail.
For the first time in almost seven years the Centre has had its very own home. No boxes of stuff hauled to and from the Sunday location, no more strategic storing of Centre belongings in shoe boxes in past members basements and no more searching at the last minute for a location for classes, meetings and Sunday services. It was a great relief for everyone and created a new sense of ownership for the board and members of the Centre. New programs flourished and immediately it seemed the Centre took on a new life. This year was also a major year for asset gains and purchases for the growth of our Centre. We bought 30 new and very comfortable chairs from our growth fund. We were gifted with not one but two pianos, we have stepped into digital comfort with CD recordings of our Sunday talks and now a ‘free to the community’ inspirational movie night, third Friday of the month, next one January.
The final chapter for the OK-CPL was the determination to move and the finding of the perfect new location; #203 3131 29th Street. It is bigger and much more comfortable Centre for us all.
We, the Spiritual Circle that are at the core of the Centre extend our gratitude to BC government Direct Access program for allowing us to give to those of our community in need over five thousand dollars in time, service and aid. We have been as active as ever before awakening the wonder of who we are through the giving of our hearts.
Light Mail, also has been changing, this year we went from a weekly outreach to a daily inspirational forum.
