In this uplifting talk, Rev. Martin Preston reframes the classic phrase “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” From circus-born pink lemonade lore to spiritual principles from Ernest Holmes, Martin shows how we transform bitterness into blessing with three ingredients: lemons (problems), water (Spirit), and sugar (love). You’ll learn six practical steps for meeting adversity:

1. Be grateful • 2) Stay calm • 3) React positively • 4) Accept reality (then act) • 5) Go outside • 6) Meditate daily. Stories—from Edison’s hearing aids to Nick Vujicic’s life without limits to Little Caesars founder Mike Ilitch—illustrate how gratitude, calm, and love unlock creative solutions. Close with a smile (and maybe a glass of lemonade).

Key Takeaways

• Problems + Spirit + Love = a workable recipe for life

• Meditation prepares you before challenges arrive

• “There’s more going right than wrong” (shift your focus)

Affirmation “Grounded in Spirit and guided by love, I respond creatively to every challenge.”

Imagination isn’t make-believe—it’s the creative engine of your life. In this uplifting message, Rev. Martin Preston shows how imagination, paired with will and spiritual practice, turns vision into experience. Drawing on examples from science, sports, the arts, and Ernest Holmes’ teaching on will (directive) and imagination (creative), you’ll learn how to “act as if,” focus on what you do want, and build the foundations under your dreams. The talk closes with a short guided stillness to anchor your intention in peace.

In this week’s pre-service meditation, licensed practitioner Tony Diaz invites us into reflection on the season of transformation. As autumn unfolds, we’re reminded that fall is both a time of harvest and release—a moment to celebrate what we’ve manifested this year and to gently make space for what’s next.

Through mindful breathing and visualization, Tony guides us in letting go of what no longer serves and opening to new possibilities ready to emerge.

Take a few deep breaths, settle into stillness, and join us in preparing the inner ground for spiritual renewal.

How do small issues become overwhelming—and how can we shrink them back to size? In this week’s message, Rev. Martin Preston reveals how worry and magnification create “mountains,” and how faith and perspective restore peace. With three practical reframing questions and timeless spiritual wisdom (including the mustard seed teaching), this talk equips you to stop catastrophizing, reclaim your power, and meet life’s challenges with calm courage.

“If you can make a mountain out of a molehill, you can also make a molehill out of a mountain.”

In this week’s Sunday meditation, Rev. Martin Preston offers a gentle reflection on how anger arises—not from others, but from our own resistance to what is. Drawing from both Science of Mind teachings and Biblical wisdom, he reminds us that peace begins within, and that the spiritual journey of life is one of transforming fear into love.

💬 “You cannot deny the emotion that is reflected—but you can deny its control over you.”

As music plays softly beneath his words, Rev. Martin invites us to release what disturbs our peace, forgive freely, and remember that only love can heal the world—starting with us.

🎧 Greater Orlando Center for Spiritual Living 🕊️ “Changing your thinking, changes your life.”

Rev. Martin wraps our “Back to the Basics” journey with an action-focused message on How to Use It—putting spiritual truth to work in everyday life. We explore the difference between facts and Truth, the necessity of trained thought, and why the Law works for us through us. Includes a prosperity example, clear guidance for spiritual practice, and a closing treatment with Ernest Holmes’ affirmation of Right Action.

Highlights:

• Practice over theory: demonstration is the proof

• “Through us”: how the Law actually operates

• Facts change; Truth is eternal

• Be specific with intention; refuse discordant “facts”

• Affirmation: “I now allow the perfection of Spirit to run rampant in my life.”

• Closing treatment & Holmes’ Right Action declaration
