December 16, 2013 - The Miracle of Grace

"Christmas Tour of Homes Performance"
ACIM Workbook Lesson #350
"Miracles mirror God's eternal Love. To offer them is to remember Him, And through His memory to save the world."

While acting as a docent at the Christmas Tour of Homes, our lovely almost-100-year-old church edifice was graced with an 8-piece brass ensemble which played carols. This performance could have been considered rather pedestrian by many, but I was reminded that "miracles mirror God's eternal Love" when they did something unexpected in the first number they played. They had launched into "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" when, on the last verse, suddenly everyone stopped playing except the baritone horn and the flute -- and the remainder began to sing. I'm not sure why this particular combination moved me so, but suddenly I found tears streaming down my face as I watched this group performing under the words "God is Love". I can think of many reasons why this happened, but they all fall under the heading of experiencing divine Love. We can see this mirror in everything, when we clear the way for it. I ask to remember this today and every day.

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"The miracle of grace is no miracle to Love.
