Joyful persistence

JANE PARTIS McCARTY

Have you ever watched a baby learning to stand by itself for the first time? Or to walk by itself? A baby will stand up over and over again until it has learned to get up and sit back down freely. And a baby will also practice and practice until it can walk by itself. Babies don't fuss or fume about persisting. They just do it.

That same joyful persistence is a necessary ingredient in successfully practicing Christian Science. We, too, need to love what we are doing, to make our persistence natural and unquestioning.
