Several years ago, when I first started going to Unity Church, I read The Quest by Richard and Mary-Alice Jafolla. The book is designed to be done over one year but of course I completed it more quickly.
What I realized as I progressed through the book is that I had been practicing Unity principles for over thirty years. It was at that time, I knew that I wanted to become a Licensed Unity Teacher (LUT) and began a three year spiritual journey to complete the requirements for licensing. A journey that has changed my life in so many ways and continues to do so.
Below is an excerpt from the book in an article about Thanksgiving:
"When we give thanks, we are really giving our blessing. Like sunflowers turning toward the sun, giving thanks turns our hearts toward our good.
We know the power of thanksgiving on a human, emotional plane. We all like to be appreciated and thanked. It motivates us and opens us up to do better.
On a spiritual plane, when we are sincerely thankful to God for the good we have and the good in store for us, thanksgiving takes on an even more attracting power. Like a powerful magnet, thanksgiving attracts our good to us."

May you and yours be blessed with a joyous Thanksgiving season and may you count your many blessings now and always. I know I do and I count my circle of very close friends and family as one of my greatest blessings today and everyday and I am also thankful for so many other blessings in my life.
