And so, as 1960 draws to a close, we will soon hang up our handful of brand new days. This simple act can take on areat importance if we think about, and make a ritual of it Bless those days! . . . and do it with sincerety, so that the blessing becomes more than mere words. A prominent minister recently said that our "good" was just ahead â€" we are walking towards it, stepping right into the midst of it! That‘s the idea It‘s a good thing New Years comes along to make us aware of the passage of another year and remind ais that it is gone, néver to be recalledy . . . but the new ene? It‘s a thrilling challenge every time, isn‘t it? I guess we all have a tiny picture of a memorable New Year‘s Eve in our minds. Mine doesn‘t sound very exciting. but there was something about that walk home with Father that has stayed with me all these years. I don‘t remember what we talked about exactly, but what I remember is the FEELING of the moment. Unâ€" doubtedly Father‘s words had impressed me with the NEWNESS of those first minutes of a New Year. Nothâ€" ing had happened to spoil them in any way: and they were perfact as God had made and expected us to keep them. The calendar Grandfather had given me (we‘d been visiting him) was, of course, the earthly symbol of all the fresh new days God had placed before us, to do with as we wished. Intangibles are hard for little minds to grasp. The calendar, clutched in my cold little hand was. to mo, a whole year full of bright and excitâ€" behind the act of hanaing un a calendar. â€" It‘s an eartHly symbol of what‘s ahead, and we make of it what we will with the Power of our mind. Quoting from an article on the Mind and its hidden powers, is this paragraph: "The mind is hidden with the living matter, completely neglected by physiclogists and economists, almost unnoticed by physicians. And yet it is the most colossal power of this world." > do with as minds to gre hand was.â€" ing new da Somsone wrote "Each man may prove for himself that, as his thought alters, his condition varies, As he thinks, he becomes. How important it is then, that he should know how to control and direct this hidden energy with which he is constantly changing both his world and himself." In this jetâ€"propelled age a family getâ€"together might not happen more than once a week â€" andthat at one of the meals! Well, if you have to, use that time for the "brainstorming‘"! . . . it might elevate the usudl dinner conversation tremendously! The family might even look forward to it. The idea here, I think, is to coâ€"ordinate our thinkâ€" ing for a aood purpose . . . and all good thoughts and desires of 0 family pooled together and prayed about with singleness of purpose couldn‘t help but have sucâ€" cess. The buzz sessions, of course, get rid of the doubting Thomases" and negative thoughts so that the affirmations and prayers that come later have a better chance of success. And the objective? A story is told of a smaill church that seemed to be in the doldrums; not going ahead as they felt they should. At year‘s end, or perhaps we should say at vear‘s beginning, the trustees méet on a cold winter afternoon to map out plans for the coming year. They hadn‘t much to go on, since the church operated on the "loveâ€"offering‘"‘ plan, with no specific pledges or !inancial arrangements for obtaining money. When the irustees met that afternoon they seemed quiet, almost depressed. However, the leader of the group knew cabout the prosperous power of creative imagination and, after explaining this law to the others, outlined the rich results needed for the year to come. It sounded like an impossible dream but this man knew that dreams cannot become a reality without work. He assigned one or more of the desired results as individual projects for each trustee, even stating the time by which the expected result should be completed. Does the family have an objective? Most of us are just drifting along, not really knowing exactly what we desire from life. A family who adopted say, a weekly "buzz" and prayer session would certainly have to havs an objective! It has been said, and rightly so, I think, "Be careful of what you wantâ€"you might get it!" We might be surprised, after gathering our brood around us, to find out what everyone‘s innerâ€" most thoughis and desires are. It points out, too, that if one person can do seemâ€" impossible things with the creative genius of his mind, what wonders can be accomplished by a group. Through group coâ€"ordination and interchange of ideas, increased snergy is released upon the objective. Jesus referred to this Power when He said, "If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven." __ The story goses on to say that though somewhat dazed and surprised, the trustees were thrilled with the leader‘s plan. He had "sold" them, too, on the value of group coâ€"ordination of affirmative prayers for the sucâ€" cess of the plan. They left the meeting feeling that all plans for their church were possible and that it was up to them to prove the reality of God‘s rich prosperity. To shorten the story, all of the projects outlined on that winier afternoon came to pass, plus a number that had not been mentioned at that point. The trustees now meet every six months "in quietness and confiâ€" dence" to make their prosperity plans for their organiâ€" zation. perhaps preceded by what session" or "brainstorming his mind) would have parti sters. I couldn‘t help thinking, when reading this success story, that it could also apply to a family. We‘ve all heard and seon the phrase "The family who prays toâ€" gether, stays together" . . . and while prayer certainly fosters close harmony in a family, this, coupled with or perhaps preceded by what is currently called a "buzz session" or "brainstorming‘‘ (where everyone speaks his mind) would have particular appeal to the.youngâ€" A Handful Of Days Group Coâ€"Ordination Singleness Of Purpose Quiet Confidence . . . the new year had come.
