Joy is. That is undeniable. 

-Psalms 25:15

Loving that simple statement of direction.

One time when I was younger, a great family friend told me and a couple of friends that sometimes problems are a lot like a tangled, knotted, necklace. It can look real bad, impossible to work out. So much so that when you set to work on it – painstakingly trying to unsnare it you just make it worse. And she showed us an example of one such knotted necklace. You could tell it had once been a nice one, but there seemed to be no way were we going to get it undone any time in the next hour. I felt bad for her.

But, she said, completely not worried, sometimes you just have to take a step back and not get pulled into the details or the ‘story’ of what you’re seeing. She shook the necklace, and it just simply un-tangled. She went on to tell us that it wasn’t a magic trick, that it was something of a law. Keeping our attention focused on the details of a problem isn’t necessarily going to help solve that problem quickly or productively.

Stepping back and trusting a deeper working Divine law, can yield quick, efficient results.  I like to think that we contemplate our relationship to the Divine, we are turning our eyes toward the Lord. And when we are agreeing to live to our highest moral understanding and Love the Principle of Life we are putting God first. When we do that, like with the necklace, there’s no room for us to get nervous or worried should we seem to get tangled in a human drama.

Show up at 9 Seaverns street apt 2F, @ 7:35 for a meeting. Nina will be giving us some good food for thought tonight!

“The term Science, properly understood, refers only to the laws of God and to His government of the universe, inclusive of man. From this it follows that business men and cultured scholars have found that Christian Science enhances their endurance and mental powers, enlarges their perception of character, gives them acuteness and comprehensiveness and an ability to exceed their ordinary capacity. The human mind, imbued with this spiritual understanding, becomes more elastic, is capable of greater endurance, escapes somewhat from itself, and requires less repose. A knowledge of the Science of being develops the latent abilities and possibilities of man. It extends the atmosphere of thought, giving mortals access to broader and higher realms. It raises the thinker into his native air of insight and perspicacity.”  

-  Science and Health, from the Chapter on Science, Theology, Medicine, p. 128 by M.B. Eddy

in the mean-time: Loving this from the Bible, a blessing for the Israelites:

24“The Lord bless you

and keep you;

25 the Lord make his face shine upon you

and be gracious to you;

26 the Lord turn his face toward you

and give you peace.”
