Walking in Father’s Shoes
Last Sunday was the perfect time to stop and consider what a miracle you are with Ken Curtis’s talk. That’s right. You are!
This Divine Truth ties in perfectly with our ongoing series about Re-Imagining and Re-Gathering while increasingly understanding what it must be like to be in another’s shoes. Imagine for a moment, collectively, we are many miracles coming back together after 15 months of such unprecedented times. It is fascinating how It can be easier to see the miracle of another compared to when staring at the miracle in the mirror!
Because God is. Principle says that ultimately it is all good and all miraculous, so let’s just get to the good parts, shall we?
This Sunday is Father’s Day. A day that has more and more meaning for me each year. While soaking in the blessing and miracle of Fatherhood, I have come to imagine what it’s like to have walked in my own Father’s Shoe.
When I can empathize with my own father, I can more realistically relate the values that were important to him even while continually assessing my own higher values. When I live and breathe from this place consciously, it’s
amazing the solutions which come forth through me resulting in a more purposeful, happy life. My Dad would be (is) proud. Going through this process has left me feeling liberated and balanced, and if you will join me, it might just do the same for you!
In fact, Integral Theory even shows us how important it is to let go of the old to make way for the new, it is what they call a spiraling upward life process.
Sunday I will share an important lesson on how we may begin to seek more fulfillment in life by obtaining a balance firmly rooted in our values and how our values are rooted in the I Am. The source of all.
Can we create a healthy degree of balance in our lives while letting go of what we once were to become what we can be? Can we explore metaphysical solutions for areas in life that could be brought up to higher co-consciousness and a more balanced way of life? Of course, and we will!
Unity of Dallas has clearly been spiraling upward entering into this new phase of what is known as a Hybrid Community. Online and in person. Our largest audience is now online across multiple platforms, but this does not mean we get totally rid of aspects that have served us well, but instead we evolve onward and upward to meet the challenges of this time. Individually and collectively.
With a nod towards continuing our awareness of walking in another’s shoes, don’t hesitate to wear colorful or interesting shoes once again–though I doubt you could fit in your Father’s shoes. I look forward to an exciting Sunday with you!
Let’s Thrive,
Rev. James
