An Attitude of Gratitude Join us this week for a journey of the soul with a message on “An Attitude of Gratitude,” learning a deep, intentional practice, a shift in perspective that aligns us with the flow of peace, joy, and abundance.
An Attitude of Gratitude – Today’s message is “An Attitude of Gratitude.” Listen as Rev. Larrye-Marie Heyl, spiritual leader of Center for Spiritual Living Southeast Louisiana, reminds you to cultivate the habit of being grateful by embracing an attitude of gratitude, seeing every moment as a gift and a blessing, and living in the Divine flow. She invites you to graciously accept all that shows up in our life, knowing it is a lesson or a way to look deeper within ourselves for the truth.
As Ernest Holmes wrote in the Science of Mind:
“In everything, give thanks. An attitude of gratitude is most salutary, and bespeaks the realization that we are now in heaven.”
Enjoy the music of Gary Lynn Floyd, Karen Drucker, and of our own CSL Southeast Louisiana music team.

An Attitude of Gratitude– Reading Listen as Robyn Vie-Carpenter-Brisco reads the November 6th excerpt from A Joyous Abundance Journal- 366 Days of Inspiration by Christian Sørensen and Petra Weldes entitled The Single Thing That Guarantees Success. The reading tells us the secret is: “the attitude of gratitude, the expression of appreciation, the ability to give thanks throughout one’s day and interactions.”
An Attitude of Gratitude– Message Only – Listen as Rev. Larrye-Marie Heyl, spiritual leader of Center for Spiritual Living Southeast Louisiana provides a message on “An Attitude of Gratitude,” which truly is a matter of our own consciousness – about you and how you see the world. Life is both an outer and an inner journey. Learn to walk to the heart of life and know God is who we are AND there is always something for which we can be grateful. John O’Donohue in “For Presence” tells us: “Awaken to the mystery of being here and enter the quiet immensity of your own presence.”
Imagine what your life and the world might look like if each of us entered the quiet immensity of our own presence and lived each day filled with gratitude.

A Grateful Heart Join us this week for a journey of the soul with a message on “A Grateful Heart,” learning a deep, intentional practice, a shift in perspective that aligns us with the flow of peace, joy, and abundance.
A Grateful Heart – Today’s message is “A Grateful Heart.” – how we can learn to live with a grateful heart no matter what is happening in your world. Rev. Larrye-Marie Heyl invites you to adjust your perspective to gratitude, take action and refuse to quit around your challenges, knowing you are capable and resilient. She also invites you to develop habits to increase your ability to live with a grateful heart. Rev. Larrye-Marie reminds you that what you appreciate, appreciates. She encourages you to keep a gratitude journal, to create a support system, and to take good care of yourself. As Mesiter Eckhart reminded us:
“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.”
Enjoy the music of our own CSL Southeast Louisiana music team.

A Grateful Heart– Reading Listen to Nancy Wertz as she reads the poem: “Gratitude” by Melody Beattie. The poem reminds us of the many reasons we have to be grateful and the impact that gratitude can have in our lives. As Melody tells us:
“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

A Grateful Heart– Message Only – Listen as Rev. Larrye-Marie Heyl, spiritual leader of Center for Spiritual Living Southeast Louisiana provides a message on “A Grateful Heart,” – a message on how to live with a grateful heart no matter what is happening in your world. Rev. Larrye-Marie Heyl invites you to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, prioritize your adversities, and keep a gratitude journal and develop other habits which increase your ability to live with a grateful heart and remind you of all the wonderful things in your life. She invites you to find the lessons in difficulties and to embrace your own resilience and capability. Ernest Holmes, in This Thing Called You, wrote:
“When a problem confronts you, take it into the silence of your consciousness. Instead of thinking of the problem, think of the answer. God does not have problems, therefore, the Divine Mind is the answer to every human problem. Principles never have problems. Problems are solved by bringing them under the control of principles. The problem is dissolved as the principle flows through it to the correct answer.”
Imagine what your life and the world might look like if you lived everyday with a grateful heart!

Grateful to Receive Join us this week for a journey of the soul with a message on “Grateful to Receive,” learning a deep, intentional practice, a shift in perspective that aligns us with the flow of peace, joy, and abundance.
Grateful to Receive – Today’s message is “Grateful to Receive.” – how we can learn to live being Grateful to Receive. Rev. Larrye-Marie Heyl invites you to graciously receive what others give, to open yourself to the abundance of the universe, and to recognize your inherent worthiness to live in love, peace, and joy. She also invites you to know that receiving is not taking or being selfish, just as giving is not about sacrifice. Rev. Larrye-Marie reminds you that the Law of Circulation is always acting on us and, when we fail to receive, we block the Divine flow of love. As Brene Brown reminds us:
“Until we can receive with an open heart, we are never really giving with an open heart.”
Enjoy the music of Gary Lynn Floyd and of our own CSL Southeast Louisiana music team.

Gary sings “Behold” as you settle into a place of knowing being Grateful to Receive is so much easier to do when we know the Kingdom of God is right within us.

Grateful to Receive– Message Only – Listen as Rev. Larrye-Marie Heyl, spiritual leader of Center for Spiritual Living Southeast Louisiana provides a message on “Grateful to Receive.” Rev. Larrye-Marie Heyl invites you to fully embrace the law of circulation and know your own worthiness to receive so that life can be filled with peace, love, and joy. She reminds you when you fail to graciously receive, you block the flow of abundance into your life. As Ernest Holmes wrote:
“When the law of circulation is retarded, stagnation results. It is only when we allow the Divine current to flow through us, in and out, we really express life. The law of giving and receiving is definite.”
Imagine what your life and the world might look like if everyone learned to be Grateful to Receive!

They describe the various things for which they are grateful in their lives and the impact gratitude has on living with joy.
Dr. Michael Beckwith, in Day 24 of his book 40 Day Mind Fast Soul Feast, wrote:
”Gratitude is where freedom and destiny meet, because gratitude is a divine doorway to the fulfillment of destiny. When you consciously choose to express thanksgiving, this sets causation into motion to manifest your destiny of Wholeness in every expression of life.”< /em>
Let us each remember to count our many blessings each day and live with an attitude of gratitude!
Imagine life if everyone realized how to truly be grateful for what they already have.

Imagine what might happen in our world if we remembered to be grateful each and every day and spread that gratitude throughout our day.
