CALL OUT THE CHILDREN…
BY MYRTLE FILLMORE, CO-FOUNDER OF UNITY

Our mission is not to entertain the children, but to call them out. To be always entertained is to be dwarfed and dependent. To be “called out” is to follow the harmonious law of the soul’s unfoldment. Who meddles with the rosebud? What fingers are deft enough to pry open that marvel of folded beauty? We are wise enough to leave it alone to follow the glad law of its own unfolding, but our children! Have we dealt as wisely with these buds of marvelous possibilities? Have we always remembered that they, too, must quicken and unfold through the innate law of their own genius?

 

A PRAYER FOR NAVIGATING PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIPS

I bring my awareness to the One Presence that moves all from the invisible into form, always acting on behalf of Its creation. There is nothing outside of God’s benevolence.

This is true for me, this is true for all beings, for all parents and children as they navigate through what is theirs to do and know. This prayer establishes an acceptance and trust in Divine Intelligence that is at work on our behalf. I claim an opening to intuition, and I have confidence in the unlimited capability of the Universe to establish harmony amongst all the energies that show up in our lives together. I recognize a growing response of comfort and ease, as light, love, and empowerment infuse children and their guardians in all the ways they relate, create, and interact. All that is unhelpful falls away, making room for higher expressions of connection and worthiness. I am grateful as I know and embrace this truth for and about all parents and children, everywhere. Amen.

 

Program Overview: Unity Family Matters on Unity Online Radio

Good parenting doesn’t happen by default. It is intentional. It is a decision about who you will be and what you will do in your family life. Your hosts Rev. Jennifer and Ogun Holder want you to experience the “light” side of parenting — realizing your divine identity while raising your children to know they are “the light of God.” In the previously recorded program, they offer insight based upon Unity principles, talk with today’s prominent experts in spiritual parenting, and address your questions and comments from spiritual perspectives.

 

All classes meet in the sanctuary studios. To become part of our volunteer list to enhance the spiritual program for children, please email us. We would love to hear from you!
