“When I awaken in the morning, I am thankful for a new day. I am thankful for everything that I have materially. I am thankful for everything I have spiritually. I thank God for allowing me to experience these things, even the experiences that may not seem so positive, such as developing an illness. I may not understand why I have the illness, but I sense that it is there for a purpose, and so I thank God for it. I ask Him to allow me to expand beyond my narrow-mindedness and self-centeredness so that I can see the good that comes from everything.” MayI CanSelfSeemsPurposeAsksChristianityMorningIllnessDevelopingAllowingThank GodNew DayI Am ThankfulSelf CenterednessCenterednessNarrow Mindedness Author:Betty Eadie

“The vestiges of pagan religion in Christian symbology are undeniable. Egyptian sun disks became the halos ... The pre-Christian God Mithras ... had his birthday celebrated on December 25 ... Even Christianity's weekly holy day was stolen from the pagans ... Christianity honored the Jewish Sabbath of Saturday, but Constantine shifted it to coincide with the pagans' veneration of the day of the sun ... To this day, most churchgoers attend services on Sunday morning with no idea that they are there on account of the pagan sun god's weekly tribute- Sunday.” IdeasChristianChristianityMorningSunHolyAccountsNo IdeaSundayThis DaySaturdayHonoredStolenPaganismTributePaganDecemberSabbathEgyptianSunday MorningHalosVenerationDiskConstantineChristian GodHoly DaysSun God Author:Dan Brown
