6. Bedtime Stories of 'Abdu'l-Bahá - The Gift (MIGHTY)

In this episode we read the story The Gift and talk about being generous in prosperity and thankful in adversity. We also sing Blessed is the Spot at the end.

Join us at bedtime as I read a short story about 'Abdu'l-Bahá, also known as The Master, to my two elementary school ages children. We are reading from the new book MIGHTY written by Shirin Taherzedeh and beautifully illustrated by Alissa De Asis. We were generously sent a pre-printed PDF copy and we highly highly recommend you check out their website and order yourself a book when it becomes available. I'll be sure to update that information as it goes live.

Make sure to follow @FirstValleyBooks for updates about MIGHTY's release.

Show Notes:
"Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbor, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face." - Bahá'u'lláh

Prosperity: Success in excess.
Worthy: Good and deserving respect, praise, or attention

Ḥuqúqu’lláh—The Right of God

a voluntary wealth tax paid by adherents of the Baháʼí Faith to support the work of the religion.[1] Individuals following the practice calculate 19% of their discretionary income (after-tax income minus essential expenses) and send it to the head of the religion, which since 1963 has been the Universal House of Justice. The Ḥuqúqu'lláh payment is considered a way to purify one's possessions.[4] It is an individual obligation; nobody in the general community should know who has or has not contributed, nor should anyone be solicited individually for funds.

Blessed is the spot, and the house,
and the place, and the city,
and the heart, and the mountain,
and the refuge, and the cave,
and the valley, and the land,
and the sea, and the island,
and the meadow where mention
of God hath been made,
and His praise glorified.
- Bahá'u'lláh
