Next New Beginnings - September 25 - 28, 2008

My Community
by Dr. Scott Lloyd

It is such a pleasure that I am blessed to live in a community where people understand that they are unique divine creations; that they are spiritual beings having a human experience rather than human beings having a spiritual experience. This is understanding of our true nature is so important, for when we identify with the spirit, we act more accordingly. When we identify with spirit it reminds us that the power within the body heals the body and healing comes from within.

Another beautiful aspect of the character of our community is the clarity families have in putting healing, health, wellness, and wholeness as a top priority so they may experience higher levels of life and all the blessings that accompany the higher levels of life.

It is an honor to learn and grow from so many wonderful people. It is an honor to serve God through the ministry of the Café of Life.

When I see the a hah moments and the smiling eyes from the hearts and minds of the many participants in the Evenings of Enlightenment and the Life Connection Seminars, I know that I am truly making a difference in so many lives.

The hunger for people to learn, evolve and grow is self evident in our community…and the willingness of the individuals to take action and apply what they learn is an inspiration to all.

The loving kindness in our community sets an overall tone of respect for one another and I see people living out the great commandment of love thy neighbor as you love thyself.

I appreciate being able to use my talents and gifts to contribute to the well being of our community and the individuals in it. I am in deep gratitude for the abundant blessings that I am receiving constantly from my community in all areas of my life: spiritually, financially, physically, mentally, emotionally, familiarly, vocationally, and socially.

In our community it seems that the cycle of giving and receiving is in an abundant flow and balance.

I am amazed at the continuous miracles that happen through the chiropractic adjustments served with love and light at the Café of Life.

Sometimes I pinch myself to see if this is really happening, and then I am reminded of the true nature of our being…and realize that I am the blessed and I am in the overflow of God’s love and abundance.

I am grateful when I remember back to the time in my life when I was in wilderness, in that dry place where God was collaborating with me to work things out of me so that I was able to become the fertile soil that bears much fruit and blessing that I am now.

Thank you for sharing in our community. May the blessings flow from above down inside out.

Something to think about.......
by Dr. Jim Dubel

You always hear the usual stories of pennies on the sidewalk being good luck, gifts from angels, etc. This is the first time I've ever heard this twist on the story.

Gives you something to think about.

Several weeks ago, a patient of mine and his wife were invited to spend the weekend at the husband's employer's home.

My patient, Bob, was nervous about the weekend.

The boss was very wealthy, with a fine home on the waterway, and cars costing more than their house. The first day and evening went well, and Bob was delighted to have this rare glimpse into how the very wealthy live. The employer was quite generous as a host, and took them to the finest restaurants. Bob knew he would never have the opportunity to indulge in this kind of extravagance again, so was enjoying himself immensely. As the three of them were about to enter an exclusive restaurant that evening, the boss was walking slightly ahead of Bob and his wife. He stopped suddenly, looking down on the pavement for a long, silent moment.

Bob wondered if he was supposed to pass him. There was nothing on the ground except a single darkened penny that someone had dropped, and a few cigarette butts Still silent, the man reached down and picked up the penny.

He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket as if he had found a great treasure.

How absurd! What need did this man have for a single penny? Why would he even take the time to stop and pick it up?

Throughout dinner, the entire scene nagged at him. Finally, he could stand it no longer. Bob casually mentioned that his daughter once had a coin collection, and asked if the penny he had found had been of some value.

A smile crept across the man's face as he reached into his pocket for the penny and held it out for her to see. Bob had seen many pennies before! What was the point of this?

'Look at it.' He said. 'Read what it says.' She read the words ' United States of America ' 'No, not that; read further.' 'One cent?' 'No, keep reading.' 'In God we Trust?' 'Yes!' 'And?' 'And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin. Whenever I find a coin I see that inscription. It is written on every single United States coin, but we never seem to notice it!

God drops a message right in front of me telling me to trust Him? Who am I to pass it by? When I see a coin, I pray, I stop to see if my trust IS in God at that moment. I pick the coin up as a response to God; that I do trust in Him. For a short time, at least, I cherish it as if it were gold. I think it is God's way of starting a conversation with me. Lucky for me, God is patient and pennies are plentiful!

When I was out shopping today, I found a penny on the sidewalk. I stopped and picked it up, and realized that I had been worrying and fretting in my mind about things I cannot change. I read the words, 'In God We Trust,' and had to laugh. Yes, God, I get the message.

It seems that I have been finding an inordinate number of pennies in the last few months, but then, pennies are plentiful! And, God is patient..

Thought for the Day:

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.

If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.

He sends you flowers every spring.

He sends you a sunrise every morning Face it, - He is crazy about you!

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Read this line very slowly and let it sink in...

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

The patients you see today are the ones GOD intended you to see...

Serve each of them and love them as if they were your own family..

Chiropractic is like a penny found on the sidewalk.. A gift from GOD !
