ACIM Lesson #285
“My holiness shines bright and clear today.”


Aaron and Heather
Graduation Day
[Marsha's thoughts]
Today someone said something I hadn't heard in a long, long time: Misery loves company. Is that why so many of the conversations we hear daily center around disease and inclement weather? Yikes! I suppose it would be too rude to tell people why this way of existence is not conducive to happiness. But I can feel
joy -- and scatter it!! -- in the face of any suffering thought that is brought to me today. No, this won't be a laughing-in-the-face-of-sorrow type of joy. This will be a gentle joy, a quiet joy, sent out in true compassion while seeing divine reality. This will be my holiness shining today. We know that joy loves company, too!
Let's see how infectious happiness can be.

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“We must form perfect models in thought and look at them continually, or we shall never carve them out in grand and noble lives. Let unselfishness, goodness, mercy, justice, health, holiness, love—the kingdom of heaven—reign within us, and sin, disease, and death will diminish until they finally disappear”
