SUMMARY:Happy Memorial Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:UTC Remembers & Honors Your Service\nMemorial Day is an American holiday\, observed on the last Monday of May\, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day 2024 is on Monday\, May 27th. \nOriginally known as Decoration Day\, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials\, holding family gatherings\, and participating in parades. Unofficially\, it marks the beginning of the summer season. \nCities and towns across the United States host Memorial Day parades each year\, often incorporating military personnel and members of veterans’ organizations. Some of the largest parades take place in Chicago\, New York\, and Washington\, D.C. \nAmericans also observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries and memorials. Some people wear a red poppy in remembrance of those fallen in war—a tradition that began with a World War I poem. On a less somber note\, many people take weekend trips or throw parties and barbecues on the holiday\, perhaps because Memorial Day weekend—the long weekend comprising the Saturday and Sunday before Memorial Day and Memorial Day itself—unofficially marks the beginning of summer.

SUMMARY:Happy Mother's Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Happy Mother’s Day 2024\nMother’s Day comes once a year. Some think that if they buy their mother flowers and a card they have fulfilled their obligation for the rest of the year. If we would only comprehend a small part of what our mothers did for us as children. How they would literally die for us if needed. We would realize that one day is not sufficient. Mother’s Day should be a time to remind us that we have been neglecting our duties as sons and daughters. This relationship is sacred. Let us honor our mothers. \n\nYou Are My Heart & Soul\nThank you…\nFor standing by me through thick and thin\,\nFor not giving up on me when I didn’t win\,\nFor your patience when I kept pushing you away\,\nFor caring when I said I didn’t need you anyway. \nI am grateful knowing…\nI can count on your strength\,\nAsk for your support and know you’ll go to any length.\nWhen I lose my way\,\nYou help me get back on track.\nWhen in pain\,\nYour comfort soothes and brings me back. \nI am lucky because…\nWhen I was sad\, you gave me faith and hope.\nWhen I was confused\, you taught me how to cope.\nWhen I felt I couldn’t go on\,\nYou carried me long miles.\nWhen I didn’t believe\,\nYou restored my smiles. \nMom\, thank you…\nFor your guidance and the faith you’ve shown\,\nFor giving me a safe place where I have grown\,\nFor showing me how to strive.\nBecause of your love\,\nI will survive. \n© 2006 Elizabeth A. Robinson \nSource: familyfriendpoems.com

SUMMARY:Martin Luther King Jr Day
DESCRIPTION:Remembering & Celebrating Dr Martin Luther King\, Jr.\nMartin Luther King\, Jr.’s birthday was first observed as a national holiday in 1986. However\, his life had become a fixed part of American mythology for years prior to this. Indeed\, to many African Americans whose rights he helped expand\, to many other minorities whose lives his victories touched\, and to many whites who welcomed the changes his leadership brought\, King’s life seemed mythological even as he lived it. He is celebrated as a hero not only for the concrete legislation he enabled\, but for his articulation of dreams and hopes shared by many during an era of upheaval and change.

SUMMARY:UFBL Founder's Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Happy Founder’s Day\, Everyone!\nABOUT UFBL & DR. JOHNNIE COLEMON\nLight bringers come to the world from many diverse backgrounds and with different experiences\, but the one thing they all have in common is the power to transform lives by offering new transformative concepts to ideas that were around from the beginning of time. \nIn the early 1950’s a young gifted woman had a diagnosis that was not pleasing. She was told that she had a mere six months to live. Instead of taking this news as a death sentence\, she seized the moment to open up her mind to the possibility of living life more abundantly. \nAs she turned her attention to the intention of health\, opportunities began to appear to aid in turning what may have appeared as impossible into a living reality. One day as she walked past a table in her living room a pamphlet fell.  She picked it up and recognized it was a Unity School of Christianity publication. After she read “God is your health you can’t be sick” this became her defining moment.  With her mother’s encouragement\, she attended the Unity School to learn the principles of spiritual healing. \nThe call of a soul to do the bidding of Spirit is one that leads through minefields of opportunities\, in order to clear away all the mental debris thus enabling the individual to become a true disciple the Christ. Johnnie had many experiences at Unity School that helped hone her skills and drew out of her all the latent qualities that would be required to complete the work that Spirit had called her to do. After her experiences at the Unity school\, she served for 18 years in various positions in the Unity Movement\, while building the largest Unity Center and during that process became a catalyst for the transformation of many lives. \nThe Rev. Dr. Johnnie Colemon\, Johnnie as she was known by thousands\, founded the Universal Foundation for Better Living (UFBL) in June 1974 comprising of New Thought churches\, centers\, and study groups located throughout the United States\, Canada\, the Caribbean (Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica) the Bahamas and South America (Guyana). \nShe also founded the Johnnie Colemon Institute\, the teaching arm of her ministry\, which has been the Alma Mater to New Thought Leaders who are scattered over many lands. \nThe cornerstone of the UFBL is spiritual healing. It is from this platform that she brought excitement and innovation to the teaching of the abundant living message.  Johnnie also used the written word to teach others and demonstrate her commitment to the work and revelation of the Holy Spirit in the lives of others. Her “healing touch” has blessed thousands of people. \nDr. Colemon’s methodology is chronicled in Open Your Mind and Be Healed (DeVorss) and in a series of books; It Works if You Work It Jubilee Edition (UFBL Press). The story of her early life and ministry is documented in Lessons in Living Abundantly: The Life and Ministry of the Reverend Dr. Johnnie M. Colemon and the DVD\, A Woman\, A Work\,  A Wonder (UFBL Press). \nThose who had the pleasure of being part of her international ministry share the common belief that she lived and demonstrated what she taught. This is her true legacy; she came that those who passed her way could live life more abundantly. \nIn 1995\, Dr. Johnnie Colemon passed the baton of leadership as President to Dr. Mary A.

SUMMARY:Happy Mother's Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Mother’s Day comes once a year. Some think that if they buy their mother flowers and a card that they have fulfilled their obligation for the rest of the year. If we would only comprehend a small part of what our mothers did for us as children. How they would literally die for us if needed. We would realize that one day is not sufficient. Mother’s Day should be a time to remind us that we have been neglecting our duties as sons and daughters. This relationship is sacred. Let us honor our mothers. \n\nYou Are My Heart & Soul\nThank you…\nFor standing by me through thick and thin\,\nFor not giving up on me when I didn’t win\,\nFor your patience when I kept pushing you away\,\nFor caring when I said I didn’t need you anyway. \nI am grateful knowing…\nI can count on your strength\,\nAsk for your support and know you’ll go to any length.\nWhen I lose my way\,\nYou help me get back on track.\nWhen in pain\,\nYour comfort soothes and brings me back. \nI am lucky because…\nWhen I was sad\, you gave me faith and hope.\nWhen I was confused\, you taught me how to cope.\nWhen I felt I couldn’t go on\,\nYou carried me long miles.\nWhen I didn’t believe\,\nYou restored my smiles. \nMom\, thank you…\nFor your guidance and the faith you’ve shown\,\nFor giving me a safe place where I have grown\,\nFor showing me how to strive.\nBecause of your love\,\nI will survive. \n© 2006 Elizabeth A.

SUMMARY:Martin Luther King Jr Day
DESCRIPTION:Remembering & Celebrating Dr Martin Luther King\, Jr.\nMartin Luther King\, Jr.’s birthday was first observed as a national holiday in 1986. However\, his life had become a fixed part of American mythology for years prior to this. Indeed\, to many African Americans whose rights he helped expand\, to many other minorities whose lives his victories touched\, and to many whites who welcomed the changes his leadership brought\, King’s life seemed mythological even as he lived it. He is celebrated as a hero not only for the concrete legislation he enabled\, but for his articulation of dreams and hopes shared by many during an era of upheaval and change.

It’s the courage to raise a child that makes you a father.” \nBarack Obama

SUMMARY:Happy Memorial Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:UTC Remembers & Honors Your Service\nMemorial Day is an American holiday\, observed on the last Monday of May\, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day 2021 is on Monday\, May 31. \nOriginally known as Decoration Day\, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials\, holding family gatherings\, and participating in parades. Unofficially\, it marks the beginning of the summer season. \nCities and towns across the United States host Memorial Day parades each year\, often incorporating military personnel and members of veterans’ organizations. Some of the largest parades take place in Chicago\, New York\, and Washington\, D.C. \nAmericans also observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries and memorials. Some people wear a red poppy in remembrance of those fallen in war—a tradition that began with a World War I poem. On a less somber note\, many people take weekend trips or throw parties and barbecues on the holiday\, perhaps because Memorial Day weekend—the long weekend comprising the Saturday and Sunday before Memorial Day and Memorial Day itself—unofficially marks the beginning of summer.
