Secret of a Happy Family Life
There is only one mind, one source, and one life,
And that is life as a Spiritual Being, as a loving being.
My family is the glory of God.
It is a moving, flexible, fluidic creation.
It is alive with life, abundance and all the richness of God.
I affirm that we all come from this one source.
I am inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.
My family is also inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.
I now speak my word for myself and for all, as I realize a happy family life.
My family honors the individuality of each child.
I realize that most of the time, a right explanation to a child is better than all the punishment in the world.
I understand that a careful explanation, without any criticism, instills a cooperative spirit and a feeling that each child is an important part of family life.
We instill a deep-seated spiritual consciousness.
My family takes for granted that God is a loving, protecting Presence for the family at all times.
My family believes in a power greater than we are, and we do not hesitate to talk about these things.
I have a faith and conviction that there is a living Presence everywhere, a Presence of good, of peace and of love.
I believe that each family member is deeply rooted in the one Divine Spirit of harmony, unity and love.
In my family, there is tolerance, understanding and peace.
In my family, there is sympathy and understanding.
At all times, my family feels a deep sense of security, safety, a feeling of comfort and well-being.
My family feels that we are in partnership with life and with each other in mutual confidence.
As God’s good family here on earth, my family has a sense of peace, of protection and of happiness.
My family lives, moves and has its being in God; each is a person within the self, uniting with all others in love.
We are completely protected and blessed by Spirit.
It is with overwhelming thankfulness that I accept the truth that Spirit expresses through me and through my family with the greatest amount of Good, love, abundance, joy, beauty and peace.
With a grateful heart, I release my Word into the action of the Law to be manifest in form as it is already known in mind.
And so it is.
