Career counseling

Robyn Weydert Edgerton

"My students, with cultured intellects, chastened affections, and costly hopes, give promise of grand careers." (Mary Baker Eddy, Miscellaneous Writings, p. 356)

Be a love giver,
A Life liver,
A flowing river
of true gratitude.

Be a light shiner,
A precious-stone miner,^{See Rev. 21:10, 11, 18–21 .}
A "little book" diner.^{See Rev. 10:1, 2, 8–11 .}

Be a hymn singer,
A prison springer,^{See Luke 4:14–21 .}
A truth bringer
to bad attitude.

Be a sword bearer,^{See Eph. 6:13–17 .}
A bread sharer,
A lion darer.^{See Dan. 6:1–23 .}

Be a Light seeker,
A wisdom speaker,
A mountain-peaker
climbing to new altitude.

Be a peacemaker, a caretaker,
A fetter-breaker, a dream-waker ...

Be about your sinless career—^{See Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health 26:14–18, 21–25 .}
Your Father's rewarding business.^{See Luke 2:42–49 .}
