(Note: Whether you are a Christian, Buddha, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Agnostic, Atheist or any other sector of manmade religion, know that I say my prayers and share with you my thoughts in honor of all human beings, no matter what they call their own personal God. And that in my writings, the word GOD is what I personally use to relate to the almighty spirit of one; who encompasses everything and everyone within this universe and anywhere beyond the scopes of our imagination. The One who sets the laws of life (at least for me) and has always been there to guide, teach and protect me. So please use the name that brings you closer to your own heart as my messages go out to all, who wish to read what is in my heart.)

Inspiration for this Week : by S.L. Jones - © 8-26-2007
Go out in the world this week and make a decision! Put action behind your decision! Take back control and responsibility for your life and know that you are working towards to creating your dreams! Because you in reality are the only one who can do that! Have a great week!
NOTE: I wrote a short article about “The Secret” and “Action” – you can find it in “My Library” at www.enlighteningcenter.com it gives you tips on how to get started!


Today’s Prayer: Lead by Rev. Sharon L. Jones
Dear God:
Action is my keyword for this week! Please help us to not be so afraid of our dreams. Give us the courage to concentrate on and appreciate what we have in our lives instead of what we don’t have. But give us the wisdom and motivation to work towards our dreams and goals! Let us create great things this week as you have given us all such incredible minds, so re-direct our thoughts only for good and let prosperity follow! Let us get off the sofa and take the steps to the door (action) and turn the handle (action) and open it! (action). Let us step into a whole new life, a whole new positive way of thinking to create a better positive environment in which to live. Let us remember we can sit on that sofa and think and dream away or we can get up and take the action to become motivated about life again! Let our ears become deaf when people try to discourage us or tell us it can’t be done! Let us only walk in your light, your glorious light and know that through that light energy you are the one giving us the strength and ideas to make our dreams come true. So with clarity in mind, I will take the first steps this week to walk in your favors! Thank you God for giving humans a chance to dream, a thought to process and the determination to see it through! We love you God! You are wonderful! Amen

Tarot Card for the Week: Wheel of Fortune - Upright
The Wheel of fortune represents the “Circle of Life” When upright it represents a turn for the better. If things have been out of sorts in the past few weeks, don’t worry this week you’re in an upswing and things will turn around in your favor! You’re hard work, just may pay off this week or it just assures you that you are on the right path and if you feel you’re not, then it also let’s you know you have what it takes to spin it around!


Wisdom From the Bhagavad-Gita: This Week's Quote (Chapter 10:10)
To those who are constantly devoted and worship Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me.

Crystal for the Week: Snowflake Obsidin
Snowflake Obsidin – Has been referenced to being the same as the Chinese “Ying/Yang” with it’s black and white specks, working together to create a harmonies place. This stone represents hope, new beginnings, and sets clarity as to where you need to go with your life! It can also bring resources for your needs and encourages wealth. It helps with getting rid of “wrong-thinking and assist’s you with your thought patterns to become successful in all areas of your life. In healing, it opens up the veins and improves circulation; it helps with depression and migraines. It can remove pain and energize all at the same time. The “Ying/Yang” factor again!
Associated With: Zodiac Sign - Capricorn; The Planet - Saturn; Chakras – Crown/Root

Playing Card Divination: Six of Hearts
The “Six of Hearts” represent improvement, although it may be slow, the situation is improving. It warns against becoming impatient. Don’t! Even if you get frustrated, the change will be slow and steady, but it will be for the better!

Today’s Saying from the Living Bible: Section Romans 12: 3-11
As God’s messenger give each of you Gods warning: Be honest in your estimate of yourselves, measuring your value by how much God has given you, just as there are many parts to our bodies, so it is with Christ’s body. We are all parts of it. And it takes every one of us to make it complete, for we each have different works to do. So we belong to each other, and each needs all the others.

God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesize, the prophesize when ever you can, as often as your faith is strong enough to receive a message from God. If your gift is that of serving others, serve them well. If you’re teacher, do a good job of teaching. If you’re a preacher, see to it that your sermons are strong and helpful. If God has given you money, be generous by helping others with it. If God has given you the administrator ability and has put you I charge of the work of others, take the responsibility seriously. Those who offer comfort to the sorrowing should do so with spiritual cheer.

Don’t just pretend to love others, really love them! Hate what is wrong and stand on the side of the good. Love each other with brotherly affection and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy in your work, but serve the Lord enthusiastically!
