When it comes to evaluating ourselves, most of us are poor appraisers. God sees us as one-of-a-kind masterpieces with unlimited potential for good. Seeing ourselves as anything less feels bad because it's not true. Funniest Thing! fan Christina Robohm drops in to read and discuss today's Daily Word®, "Pray for Others."

The 3 Breaths
"We're the pick of the litter, because God's the highest bidder."
"We're the pick of the litter, because God's the highest bidder."
For the first time in Funniest Thing! history Darrell and Ed forgot to share The 3 Breaths during the show. So here is a specially added YouTube presentation of these three breaths for your enjoyment.
Self approval and self acceptance in the now are the main keys to positive changes in every area of our lives. Loving the self, to me, begins with never ever criticizing ourselves for anything. Criticism locks us into the very pattern we are trying to change. Understanding and being gentle with ourselves helps us to move out of it. Remember, you have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens. –Louise Hay, You Can Heal Your Life, Pg 15
We recommend you say this affirmation to yourself in the mirror at least once a day:
Your name, you are wonderful and I love you.
This is one of the best days of your life.
Everything is working out for your highest good.
Whatever you need to know is revealed to you.
Whatever you need comes to you.
All is well.
–From Louise Hay, You Can Heal Your Life, Pg 93

The Divine cannot lack for anything, and we should not lack for anything that makes life worth living while here on earth.
Everything that we do should be a success and we should be led to do those things which are constructive and worthwhile. Nothing is great and nothing is small to the Divine, so we should never wonder if what we are going to do will be hard or easy. God knows no hard and no easy.
I have an inner understanding of my place in the universe. I know that it is unique. The Divine has not incarnated in anyone else and just the same individual way that It has in me. I am unique and forever individualized. Therefore, I do not need to imitate anyone or to long for the good that belongs to another. All good is now mine and is now manifest in my experience. I do not compete with anyone, for I am and remain forever myself. This self is united with all selves, but is always an individual and a unique self. –Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, pg. 262-263

We all experience ups and downs. Feelings waver between elation and sorrow, hope and despair. Just as emotions do not last forever, the situations that cause them ultimately change as well.
When I witness a loved one or a stranger experiencing a difficult situation, I hold them in prayer. I acknowledge their feelings with love and empathy. I look past their temporary circumstances to the unchanging Truth of who they are: God expressing as life. I envision them as healthy, prosperous, and filled with peace.
Regardless of circumstances, I surround others with light and love. Together we may laugh and we may cry. Through it all, we give thanks for God expressing in and as our lives.
I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Do not fear, I will help you.”—Isaiah 41:13

That's right. Because I, your God, have a firm grip on you and I'm not letting go. I'm telling you, 'Don't panic. I'm right here to help you.' "Do you feel like a lowly worm, Jacob? Don't be afraid. Feel like a fragile insect, Israel? I'll help you. I, God, want to reassure you." –Isaiah 41:13, from 'The Message' Bible translation

Joke of the Day
Patrick goes into the confessional box after a long lapse from going to church. Inside he finds a fully equipped bar, Guinness on tap and a row of decanters with fine Irish whiskey. On the wall is a dazzling array of cigars. Then the priest comes in.
"Father, forgive me, for it's been a long time since I've been to confession, but I must admit that the confessional box is much more inviting than it used to be.”
The priest replies: "Get out, you moron, you're on my side."
