So you need more time?

What started out as pressured effort to meet a deadline turns into an opportunity for fresh views of God's creation.

Sheryl Aarts

Once when I was feeling pressured by deadlines in my work as an advertising representative for The Christian Science Monitor, I spent several hours in a Christian Science Reading Room praying to understand what the work really demanded. I had to resist the temptation to feel anxious and discouraged. I found a commentary on a Bible verse very helpful. It is from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy.

"Genesis ii. I. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

"Thus the ideas of God in universal being are complete and forever expressed, for Science reveals infinity and the fatherhood and motherhood of Love. Human capacity is slow to discern and to grasp God's creation and the divine power and presence which go with it, demonstrating its spiritual origin."^{Science and Health, p. 519.}
