[Marsha's thoughts]
How joyous to watch our children demonstrate the ideas we're studying! When my oldest son graduated from college two-and-a-half years ago, he moved to a large city which has the type of snow he most loves for skiing. After applying for and being turned down for numerous jobs, including bread delivery in the wee hours of the morning, he finally found a job doing graphic design grunt work at minimum wage. In the time he's been with that company, he's advanced to the position of multimedia producer, and has had appreciable raises in salary and work satisfaction. The training he has received at this job is the main reason he's caught the eye of a television station in a nearby resort town. By allowing himself to be open to the field of all potentiality, he is now working at his "dream job". This has come about because he had no plans or goals he was abiding by, but he has learned that following his heart never leaves him where he started. Join with me today in thinking of times you have listened within, when you were "leaning on the sustaining Infinite", and found yourself someplace you could never have planned!

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings."
