“The king was in his counting
house,
Counting out his money…”
– English Nursery Rhyme “Four and
Twenty Blackbirds”
Count your blessings. Did you
ever make an inventory of the good things in your life and write down how much
you have to be thankful for? Are you glad that you are alive, glad that you
have a family and friends, glad that you have the opportunity to express
yourself, glad that there is a great certainty coming into your life, a feeling
that you belong to the universe in which you live? – Ernest Holmes Science of
Mind
Prosperity is far more than the
money you have or can use through your good credit. It is greater than the sum of your good
but only when you take account of that good, otherwise prosperity seems a
distant and difficult proposition. We might say, “I want to be truly prosperous
in the sense of being, doing, and having all that I desire; and living that way
with grace and ease. How is that possible? What must I know and do?”
When we approach prosperity with
open mind and heart, willing to set aside all preconceived ideas and discover
what we bring to prosperity, we are well on our way to that prosperity we
desire. A good accounting for prosperity is a thorough self-examination; but
requires a positive approach that asks more about what we have now than about
what we lack now. Appropriate questions include: Who am I and what do I want?
What blessings and benefits do I bring to this moment from my past? What are my
main interests, skills, talents, and values? What are my blessings today? Am I
healthy, creative, loving, moneywise, etc.? What do I contribute now and how
can I contribute more with enjoyment in my process?
We can all think of more but
rather than ask why we are not prosperous, we must always focus on why we are
as prosperous as we are today and how much we enjoy today and see of greater
joy on the horizon. In our accounting, we must always itemize not only what we
have but what we have accomplished, are accomplishing, and intend to complete
or continue for ourselves and for our families and communities. That keeps us
in the mindset of prosperity as a continuum rather than an occasion.
Today, with a grateful heart and
mindset, I count my blessings and count the ways that I share my blessings with
my world. My world works for all because I only see the perfection of divine
Spirit as the completion of humanity’s purpose for being. That completion is
now and always shall be a flowing process of joyful expedience as we prosper in
health, work and play, love, and financial freedom. I claim it now as my
reality. The Law of Spirit in action agrees and makes it so for so it is.

“First
you ask definitely for direction, then it will enter your consciousness as a
definite thought; then in your turn you give it back the thought and it will
give you back the thing. It answers every question, solves every problem; it is
the solution to every difficulty.” Ernest Holmes
