Unity of San Antonio

This month as I watch the leaves turn orange and yellow and red and begin to collect in swirling piles on the ground, I find myself thinking of the value of a consistent prayer practice. I look at the change of colors and think about all of the small processes that had to occur for that tree to release that leaf and let it fall away. It isn’t something that just suddenly happens; it is the result of many small steps, many small changes.
And so it is with spiritual growth: many small steps consistently taken over time result in what, from the outside looking in, appears to be a large shift at some point in time. Our beloved Myrtle is such a good example of this: daily she sat and daily she immersed her thinking in that of wholeness and one day she was well. Frederick Bailes is another good example – he also sat daily with his attention on God, and there came a day when his diabetes was gone. Others have sat until they had an insight that life could be joyful; others sat until they realized they could let themselves be loved, or that they could risk loving.
A consistent prayer practice constitutes those small daily steps that move us towards an increased awareness of our Divine Nature. And like those autumn leaves, we get to shed all that would seem to keep us separate from our knowing of our oneness with the One and Only Life there is.

With the fall season, it's a good time to look at what there is to release and let go of. September brough surprises to our Youth and Family Ministry (YFM) department. With continued growth in many of our classes, we decided to release and let go of the previous configuration of our classrooms, and rotate the classes around to accommodate all of their needs. Change can be uncomfortable and I am so proud of all of our teachers and kids for taking on this project with gusto! Everyone is resettled into their new rooms and it is working out well. What is it in your family that would make a difference if you let it go? Is there a structure or schedule in place that maybe no longer serves your family's needs? Perhaps it's a room that would work better for your family if it was reconfigured? When we take a leap of faith to let go of something in our life- rather it be spiritual, mental, or physical, it can feel very freeing and light - after we get over our fears of making the change, and take those first steps. For me it was a physical space that impacted my internal state. We have been holding onto a twin bed that used to belong to one of my kids. I love the style of it and in order to let go of the bed, I had to also let go of my thoughts of lack (What if I need it again and don't have it? Will I be able to afford to buy another one, if I want to in the future?) and my memories that I had attached to the bed. For me, letting go of a piece of furniture took me stepping into faith. We listed it for sale, moved it out of the room, and reconfigured the room to better suit how we have been using it. It feels amazing and the room works so much better for our family now. I invite you to look at what you can let go of this season that will make a beautiful difference for you and your family.

SAVE THE DATE! Our district Uniteen (middle school age) Retreat will be November 6-8 in Dallas, TX. This is an amazing event designed specifically for middle school pre-teens. More information and registration details will be posted this month.
