Daily Blessings

Experiences

I GIVE THANKS FOR MY UNDERSTANDING OF TRUTH, AND I PRACTICE IT NOW. I AM EVER CENTERED IN GOOD, AND GOOD IS ALL THAT I EXPERIENCE.

If we plant zinnia seeds in our garden, zinnias will be our reward. If we plant carrots, peas, and lettuce, we need not expect any other vegetable in their place. Universal Law is impersonal and, like a garden, returns to us in due season exactly what we plant.

Our harvest in life is the result of our thoughts and feelings. No one can think our thoughts for us. We are free to choose, and we are always free to change our attitudes.

Let us examine our lives right now. If our experiences are not what we want, then we can do something about it. We have authority over what we plant in our mind. In order to experience good, we must plant the seeds for good. Let us become determined to keep all that is not God-like out of our thoughts and become receptive only to God’s perfect ideas.

They sowed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest. (Psalm 107:37)

Transcript of a radio broadcast by Rev. Joyce Kramer, January 21, 2014.

What do you want out of life? Do you know? Few people have any real concrete picture of just what they want out of life. Consequently it seems that they live at the mercy of someone or something other than themselves. Thus we have the belief that we are the victim of things over which we have little or no control.

Each and every person is created with the ability and the power to determine his own future. Man is not at the whim of fate, luck, or chance. Neither is he created to be at the mercy of another person [ . . .]

The Joyce Kramer Ministries logo depicts a dogwood tree planted across the entrance to the church that Rev. Kramer founded in Virginia Beach. Transplanted from her brother’s property in Charlottesville, for eighteen months the tree seemed nothing more than a lifeless stick in the ground. Finally, on a Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made to dig it up, but the lawn maintenance man did not have a shovel with him. The next week, he said, he would come back and discard the dead tree. But that Sunday when Rev. Kramer arrived at church, she noticed a single leaf had appeared on the otherwise barren stick. They left the tree in place, and it grew into one of the most beautiful on the property. This flowering dogwood represents the message of Joyce Kramer Ministries: Growth is always possible; never give up.
