December 5, 2013 - Expect the Best!

"Beautiful Snow, Clear Roads!"
ACIM Workbook Lesson #339
"I will receive whatever I request."

"Let us resolve today to ask for what we really want, and only this, that we may spend this day in fearlessness, without confusing pain with joy, or fear with love." I've been thinking about this statement today, especially in relation to the weather forecast we have. For the past few days, everyone has been anticipating the worst possible scenario of ice and snow. People have been recounting horror stories from past ice storms and predicting a repetition. I see this as an extreme example of what we do in every day life. We have been taught to expect the worst in every situation and prepare for it. I often wonder what a utopia this world could be if only we would expect it. Isn't that why we all love Christmas so much? The expectation of peace, love and beauty is such an innate desire within us. Let's all feel the Love and visual white, fluffy snow!

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"Faith is higher and more spiritual than belief. It is a chrysalis state of human thought, in which spiritual evidence, contradicting the testimony of material sense, begins to appear, and Truth, the ever-present, is becoming understood."
