A few weeks before Christmas, my mail included a card with this marvelous statement,
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; That’s why we call it the present.” I was thrilled by the dual meanings of the word present, which I had never connected before. I was so grateful to have gained such a meaningful insight, itself a gift.
The quote reminded me of an article Mary Baker Eddy wrote for the Christian Science Sentinel in 1908, “We own no past, no future, we possess only now. . . Faith in divine Love supplies the ever-present help and now, and gives the power to ‘act in the living present” (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 12).
