Friendship

Friends, true friends, are rare and if we are fortunate in having even one, we can count ourselves rich indeed.

 

Friendship, in its true meaning, is a form of love. Not love of self and all that implies, but love for the friend regardless of what comes. To be a friend is to be willing to do what, within reason, friendship requires -- to forgive faults, to overlook slights and to help when there is need for assistance on life’s path. 

We all need friends, but there are many kinds of friends. There are the friends who are always there when needed and, regardless of self, will do all they can to help you. 

Then there are the fair-weather friends who, when it is to their advantage, will do all they can for you, but if things do not go according to the way that they would wish, become bitter, resentful and oftentimes jealous of the good fortune of their friends.  

These people are selfish and not worthy of the name friend. It is wise to write them off and let them go their own way for they have much to learn and they do not change until life’s bitter lessons have been assimilated in another lifetime. 

Friends, true friends, are rare and if we are fortunate in having even one, we can count ourselves rich indeed. Then too we must be a true friend ourselves; understanding, loving, kind and thoughtful and in every way blessing the friend we have found.

Giving Thanks

To be grateful is to allow more free expressions of love and abundance to flow into your life and to give pleasure, health and plenty in all you do.  

 

We should all give thanks each day for the wonderful privilege of life and its myriad expressions, all of which are a part of God, the All in all. To be grateful is to allow more free expressions of love and abundance to flow into your life and to give pleasure, health and plenty in all you do.  

Wealth is not counted in money alone; that is not true wealth. To be really wealthy is to have spiritual awareness -- love, peace and joy in your life for with these attributes others come and are attracted to you through the laws of vibration.  

You attract on the plane in which you vibrate and, if it was known to them, all should want to be on the highest possible plane of thought that they might have the real joys of life never found in mere material possessions, although these have their place.

Then too we must cultivate confidence in this self within that we may follow the path to greater selfhood and greater expression of life through direction only found in the inner man, the still small voice of God within each and every one of us.  

With this, all is possible and every ideal and idea can and will be fulfilled if the God-power is in control. It is true living, all else is sham.
