Today is my 70th Birthday and I am in awe of what a great life God has given me. 
   Happy Birthday to everyone everywhere who has August 18 as their birthday. No matter what the number of years might be, it's a great life.
   My friends at Unity Village Missouri sent me the perfect spiritual message for this happy day. I accept it completely with the joy that it obviously conveys. Here it is -

                         Let Go, Let God

   I release, accept, and receive.

   At times I may need to repeat an affirmation several times before it takes hold in mind and heart. For instance, I may have been carrying a heavy burden for days or weeks, and finally I understand: I've been trying to do this all on my own. I stop struggling and affirm: I let go and let God. I repeat this affirmation until I release all to God.

   The One Power and Presence never lets me down. I release any worry or struggle and accept the comfort, inspiration, and abundance of God. I receive all that I need, and more.

   I release, accept, and receive. With ease and grace, the gifts of God flow to me and through me to accomplish good.
