Holiday Spirit

I rejoice and give thanks for all the love and joy being expressed in my life and in the lives of all those who I come into contact with today. I know this is G-d expressing through us gloriously and perfectly. I affirm that the "Holiday Spirit" expresses through each and every one of us as we move forward to celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa and the New Year. We are truly living in the best of times and the best of everything is demonstrating through our consciousness of knowing that we are blessed and blessed even more still. As I daily practice the principle, "give and be given to," I am assured that all that I give returns to me multiplied abundantly; love, kindness, friendship, the spiritual and the material. It is with a glad and grateful heart that I know this is true for me and true for everyone, now. I let these words work through my consciousness knowing that they "stir up" the spirit within me now and always. I know this is so, I believe it, I accept it. I let it be so. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

Hi Rev. Bates,

I've noticed your recent messages have spelled God as "G-d." Is there some significance to this?

Thanks for your work!

Thank you for the question. I use the spelling, G-d, to bring our attention to the "sacredness of G-d" in Its fullest expression, as opposed to the part of God within each of us.
