The Seeds We Plant Series #24: God is Not in a Building. He is in Your Heart.

Hi there,

Happy New Year to you and yours!

It’s a new year and an opportunity to change your thoughts and life. Even more today, our children must know their lives have meaning and purpose. Bullying and abuse in any form do not negate their worth. But if we are not grounded in life-giving principles, how can we help our children to do the same? So, I’m continuing with The Seeds We Plant Series this year, discussing the life-giving principles I gained from my mother. 

In today’s episode of The Seeds We Plant: God Is Not In a Building, I share the importance of seeking and maintaining a relationship with our Source. Religion never takes the place of a relationship. And our children often model what we do. 

Here are five things my husband and I have done and continue to do to help our children form a relationship with the Source. 

1. We’ve taken our children to church services and occasionally attend church, but haven’t made a church the primary way our children know our Source.
2. We strive for daily devotion. We just finished Devotional and Journal:365 Days to Understanding, Releasing and Maximizing Your Potential by Dr. Myles Monroe for the 2nd time. In the past, we’ve read As a Man Thinketh by James Allen, The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peal, and The Power of the Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy. My husband reads from the Quran occasionally. We will now read Understanding Your Potential by Dr. Myles Monroe and plan to finish the year with two books, Releasing and Maximizing Your Potential by Dr. Myles Monroe. 
3. We incorporate various resources (books, etc.) to hear the truth differently.
4. We institute gratitude and prayer daily (before meals, events, loved ones, friends, and the world).
5. My husband and I share our experiences with our children and how God has helped us. 
6. We encourage our children to speak and follow their intuition (Infinite Intelligence speaking to them).
7. We encourage our children to question, speak to, and listen to this Infinite Intelligence and share their experiences. 

Since my children’s birth, I’ve been sharing my mother’s life principles with them. I’ve witnessed how our children healthily interpret experiences and are less likely to take things personally. We are all a work in progress and continue to grow spiritually, individually, and as a family.

How are you raising a spiritually-intuned mind?
