In the Christian Science Bible Lesson

I already had all the good I would ever need from God, the infinite source of good, and understanding this truly satisfied me and freed me from envy.

“No!” and know

With the pain I was experiencing in my back, a new idea inspired me: to not only say no but to also know.
I began to look forward to lunch hours with the Christian Science Monitor instead of the soap opera. 
The practitioner had been speaking to my husband about his status as the pure child of God, and this helped him regain his self-respect. My husband found for the first time that he could feel God’s power and love.

How I became a parent

I had been working prayerfully to get my own desires out of the way and to make space for God’s parenting and His loving provision for His children.
I began to appreciate an increasing number of beautiful spiritual attributes that we each possess—as well as the fact that we are loved and cared for by God. I felt more and more grateful and less and less impressed by the discordant physical condition.

Saying Grace

Could I redeem my Thanksgiving? Better yet, could I extend the blessing I’d received from my grandmother’s example into the rest of my year?
We and our ancestors are far better than mortal ancestry would make it appear. 
I found an unexpected freedom at the prospect of spending a day of gratitude alone with God.
God, who is universal good, provides for all our needs even before we ask or know about them. So we can confidently thank God for blessings we know are inevitably ours as His loved children.

A trustworthy guide to employment

God had shown me a talent I didn’t know I had. The work provided not only the income but also the flexible hours I needed.
The sincere yearning to spiritually love and bless—not curse, criticize, or condemn—was the turning point for me.
