Beyond the 'usual steps'
In her book The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany Mary Baker Eddy writes: “As an active portion of one stupendous whole, goodness identifies man with universal good. Thus may each member of this church rise above the oft-repeated inquiry, What am I? to the scientific response: I am able to impart truth, health, and happiness, and this is my rock of salvation and my reason for existing” (p. 165).”
That statement came to mean a lot to me about a year ago when I felt that I was just coasting through my work in search of a truly satisfying career. After much prayer, I left the company that had been my home for 25 years to seek employment elsewhere.
As I embarked on this journey, I read and reread Mrs. Eddy’s words. I strove to see that each day I could impart “truth, health, and happiness,” and that those qualities, which were mine as a reflection of God, could not be hidden. They could prove a benefit to others, too.
