A reminder

The letter, “Met a need” (page 3) by Marsha Maupin [May 20, 2013, Sentinel], reminded me of a precious experience from a few years ago.

Our son had placed his car for sale on our property. He had left the key with my husband, who would bring the car into the driveway each night and put it out near the street the next morning. One afternoon, my husband came in and said he had lost the key to the car. It was a single key, which he had kept in his pocket. (This was the only key to the car as my son had bought it used and it had come with only the one key.) My husband had just mowed the lawn, which is quite large, so to find a single key seemed a bit daunting. However, I went out to help him look.

It came to me that if I walked barefoot through the grass, I might feel the key if I stepped on it, as it would be hard to see. After I’d walked for a bit through the grass, the thought suddenly came to me clearly: “You can look and look and look, but divine Mind knows.” And I knew I did not have to continue to look but simply wait for divine Mind’s direction.

A few minutes later, it clearly came to me that a bit earlier in the day I had seen my husband trimming a flower at the kitchen sink, and with that I knew where the key was! I went to the flower bush and there was the key lying in plain sight. I felt like I had indeed for a moment taken off my shoes and was standing on holy ground!

Thanks for sharing

[“Waking-up moments,” Linda Gridley Lane, “The Touch of Class” blog, May 20, 2013]

Amen, Linda! I agree. Class instruction has continued to teach me. It does not stop instructing me even though it has been over 50 years since I took class. Ideas from that experience and the continued “association” have been a wonderful blessing. I still hear those wonderful truths I learned, and that class continues to correct, guide, instruct me, and motivate how I prove its efficacy. It was the starting point on a wonderful journey.

Thanks for sharing and making me remember how grateful I am for that experience.

Moved with gratitude

I’m moved with gratitude for the new Sentinel, but specifically for the weekly feature “In the Christian Science Bible Lesson.” It adds so much to the Bible Lesson and is the main reason that I started subscribing once again to the Sentinel.

For that feature and the my Bible Lesson (for young thinkers), I can’t express enough thanks. I wish I had had that many years ago. I would have studied the Lesson more then.
