From Lucele Coutts, one of Unity Community Church's members-at-large.
Approaching January of this New Year, I daily find my life, as well as the world, quite different from 2011--both positive and not so, due to the unrest on our beloved Mother Earth.
So I have gained many reasons to shore up myself, because I see such conflict, and it is hard to ignore, and I have found many reasons to pray and meditate often.
The prayers that come to mind are those memorized over the years from childhood, and though they often seem childlike, they are helping me go beyond my unease.
Because they are so locked in my memory, they come easily to mind without taking a book from the shelf, which usually keeps me reading instead of praying, helping me get on with my life. And so having several health challenges that needed my definite effort, I found new ways and challenges that I enjoy doing that have become ways to improve my wealth as well.
So that is my TIP for this month: Letting God be in charge, look for ways to improve yourself, and as you open your heart to that challenge, I’m sure you will find surprises that God already has waiting for you.

And keep adding more folks to the cluster. Hug your neighbor, pass out random acts of love. Don’t wait for someone else to do it. Bring about the world peace we want so badly."
