Please join us today at 4pm as Rev. Amani continues this month's series, "The Sacred Economy: Generosity in a Time of Not Enough" and this week's theme, "The Scared Dance of Giving and Receiving" during third Sunday Movement Meditation.

She invites us to complete Step 4: Reflect on the Flow

"At the end of each week, return to your inventory and ask:

What did I give this week?
What did I receive?
Where did generosity feel joyful and free?
Where did I notice fear, obligation, resentment, guilt, or discomfort?
What surprised me about what I had to offer—or what was available to me?

Then ask one final question:

Where is Life inviting me to open the flow next?

Generosity is allowing the Good to move through us—and allowing ourselves to receive the Good when it comes our way."

Please join us tomorrow at 4pm as Rev. Amani continues this month's series, "The Sacred Economy: Generosity in a Time of Not Enough" and this week's theme, "The Scared Dance of Giving and Receiving" during third Sunday Movement Meditation.

She invites us to complete Step 3: Notice What Is Yours to Receive

Now look at the other side of your inventory. Where are you depleted?
Where are you trying to provide for yourself what might be available through relationship and community?
Where have you become so accustomed to being the giver that receiving feels uncomfortable?

Choose one or two areas where you will practice receiving this month. That might mean asking for help, accepting an invitation, letting someone buy lunch, receiving a compliment without deflecting it, borrowing something instead of purchasing it, asking someone to share their expertise, allowing yourself to be cared for, and/or simply saying yes when generosity comes toward you.

Receiving is not the opposite of generosity. Receiving completes the circulation."

Be inspired each day with our Spirit Calling. This is a two minute recorded message in the morning and a texted affirmation in the evening.

This week, Joy Lynn has been sharing her beautiful words of insight and wisdom on October's series, "The Sacred Economy: Generosity in a Time of Not Enough".

Rev. Amani invites us into Step Two of the "Generosity inventory:

Choose What Is Yours to Give. Look at the places where you have abundance or genuine capacity and choose one or two resources to intentionally put into circulation this month.

Ask yourself:
What do I have that could bless someone else?
Where is there a need in front of me that I can genuinely meet?
What do I want to help grow in my family, community, or world?
Can I give this freely, without resentment or self-abandonment?

Then choose a simple action. Share a meal. Give money. Make an introduction. Encourage someone. Offer your expertise. Support an artist. Help a neighbor. Volunteer. Invite someone to your table. Give someone your undivided attention.

Give what is actually yours to give."

Please visit our YouTube channel to listen to Rev. Amani lead us in our second Sunday song circle accompanied by the amazing Fab Lab.

To continue our monthly series, "The Sacred Economy: Generosity in a Time of Not Enough" Rev. Amani invites these practices.

"The Generosity Inventory:

Step 1: Take Inventory -

Set aside some quiet time and consider each of these areas:
Money • Time • Attention • Encouragement • Food • Knowledge • Creativity • Connections • Prayer • Presence • Labor • Hospitality • Care

For each one, ask:
What is abundant right now?

What do I have plenty of and could share freely?

What is available, but limited?

What can I give within healthy boundaries?

What is depleted?

Where do I have very little to give right now?
What do I need?

Where could I receive more support, care, resources, connection, or generosity from others?

Try to tell the truth without judgment. Your inventory will change from season to season. Generosity doesn't require pretending you have resources you don't have."

Rev. Amani's inspirational sermon is now posted on our website at abqcsl.org and on our YouTube channel. Join us today at 4pm as we gather and sing with Rev. Amani for second Sunday Song Circle.

Rev. Amani shares, "The Generosity Inventory:

Generosity begins by noticing what is already moving through your life. We often think of generosity primarily in terms of money, but each of us participates in a much larger sacred economy. We give and receive time, attention, encouragement, food, knowledge, creativity, connections, prayer, presence, care, hospitality, labor, and material resources.

This month, we will practice becoming more conscious of this sacred circulation. We will notice what we have available to give, what we need to receive, and where we may need to open the flow in either direction."

Join us tomorrow at 4pm for this week's theme, "Feed What You Want to Grow" with Rev. Amani. She shares that "We reap what we sow because what we repeatedly give our attention, resources, and energy to becomes the world we participate in creating.

This month, we will explore what it means to participate in the sacred economy of Life while remaining grounded in the truth of our actual capacity. Let's welcome the goodness of Love through the practice of generosity so that we may be anchored in It and emboldened to Live As Love.

The Good is still here. Love is still here. Life is still giving itself to Life. And we are part of that Givingness".

Be inspired each day with our Spirit Calling. This is a two minute recorded message in the morning and a texted affirmation in the evening.

This week, Jan has been sharing her beautiful words of insight and wisdom on October's series, "The Sacred Economy: Generosity in a Time of Not Enough".

Rev Amani shares, "Practicing generosity is a perfect and sweet way to make that turn towards the Divine Mystery.
A meal shared. A twenty-dollar bill given or received. An afternoon helping a neighbor. A generous interpretation instead of an assumption. A ride. A prayer. A connection. A skill freely offered or received. An invitation. Receiving someone's help without shame.
Small acts and grand ones become declarations: fear does not get to tell the whole story about reality. Let's let Love write the story".
