Hello Unity Friends,

Winter has arrived in Central Ohio with four inches of snow for bus-stop snowball fights.  Before the snow finally got here, your credit card bills probably arrived in the mail, carrying demands for payment of those items you purchased at Christmas time.

Before panic sets in, what can we pull from our Spiritual Toolkit to help us set our financial condition right?  In "How To Let God Help You," Myrtle Fillmore (co-founder of Unity) declares, "There need be no poor homes.  Every home can be prosperous."  In her article entitled, "Prosperity in the Home," she goes on to say that everything visible on this earth came from some invisible source.  Using the example of a farmer's spring planting, she reminds us that we cannot see what is inside the seed of grain that causes it to germinate, push through the ground, and produce a hundredfold more seeds.  The words we use in our homes are like those seeds the farmer plants in the ground, and Myrtle encourages us to use discrimination in choosing the words that relate to our financial condition. 

Let us begin now to bring prosperity into our homes by eliminating any words about lack or hard times or poverty.  We are to hold to thoughts and words that carry the idea of plenty and abundance.  Myrtle says, "Never make an assertion, no matter how true it may look on the surface, that you do not want continued or reproduced in your home.  Do not say that money is scarce; the very statement of such a thought will send money fleeing from your fingers....Begin right now to talk of plenty, think plenty, give thanks for plenty." 

Myrtle also encourages us not to take prosperity as a matter of fact, but to be deeply grateful for all the ways abundance has shown up in our lives.  As soon as you can, go through your house and bless everything in it.  Bless your furniture, your dishes, your appliances, your water system, your electric system, your heat.  Go through your closets and bless your clothes.  Myrtle says, "Blessing has not lost its power since the time when Jesus Christ used it.  Try it and prove its efficacy."

Let us not condemn our bills, but bless what we received from the services and products we purchased.  Let us use words of plenty and abundance to draw to us God's omnipotent supply to meet our needs, fill our bank accounts, and satisfy our creditors.  By watching our words and blessing all that we have, our "home(s) will become a magnet(s), drawing to (them) all good from the unfailing, inexhaustible reservior of supply."
