Sorry this is so late; holidays and all. Some of us were out of town and others enjoyed house guests.
Eric was our much appreciated impromptu leader for these two meetings. Thank you, Eric!
The group attending finished the chapter on Opportunity.
We read in Experiments in Practical Spirituality Book II and selected the following:
Dec. 11 experiments, I believe (I missed this meeting.), were to choose between the experiment on bottom of page 7: "Whenever you find yourself restless or disenchanted with a current situation, become aware of how it has been particularly created for you here and now because it perfectly meets your need for that experience, Thank the Father for it."
or the experiment on the bottom of page 9: "Focus on doing the little things of daily life well and with love. Choose one 'little' thing, such as beginning the day with a prayer of gratitude, smiling, offering to help another."
Dec. 18 experiments were to choose between bottom of page 10: "Practice a sense of release, of turning things over to God. Ask for His help frequently. Do the best you can, but know (and live as you know) that by yourself nothing can be accomplished of real value. Write and use as needed your own "release affirmation' such as: "I release this person or situation into the hands of God, trusting that He will bring to both of us that which is most needed.'"
or the experiment on the top of page 12: " Do not let fear of failure deter you from doing acts of love or service which are in keeping with your spiritual ideal. Approach life with a boldness that is not afraid to appear foolish. Seek opportunities to risk. Affirm: 'I am capable of doing well all that comes to me to do.'"
Hopefully, this is correct or close enough, ha.
Hope to see you at the next meeting Jan. 8!
Peacefully Yours,
June
