Be a good porter!

Annette Dutenhoffer

Watching is something we do all the time. Sometimes we watch TV. Sometimes we watch Mom bake cookies. I like to watch my dog play with her toys!

In Christian Science Sunday School I learned about another kind of watching from a book called Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. It says, “Stand porter at the door of thought” (p. 392). A porter is someone who stands by the door and lets people in who are supposed to go in. A porter also keeps people out who aren’t supposed to go in.

So what does it mean that you are like a porter at the door of your thoughts? It means letting in only thoughts that are good and true—thoughts that come from God, because God is good.
