You Lose What You Don't Use

You have no doubt heard this expression before that what you don't use you lose. If you are an athlete and do muscle building for years and then stop, those muscles disappear. If we stop relying on our brain to do math for us and instead use a calculator then we lose that easy ability to count in our head. Now take this outside of ourselves.

If your city has an IMAX theatre and people are excited about it but only show up once in awhile, it closes. We might wonder about our public libraries. I would hate to see any more of them close and yet I barely visit one more than a couple times a year. If I want to see it continue I need to support it.

And yes you might have guessed that I'd get around to churches. Churches are having their challenges these days. In London a number of churches have closed and this is happening everywhere. Their people aren't attending and supporting as they used to. I remember, before attending Unity, I attended another church maybe once or twice a month, contributing only when I was there and yet I always wanted their door to be open for me.

I've read it's the churches with messages like Unity that will grow. People are looking for an uplifting, affirming message of a loving everywhere present God or Universal energy that is the essence of each of us. Unity teaches we are empowered and worthy and meant to experience abundance of every sort. This is a message I want to support and see live on and on. I hope you do too.
