ACIM Workbook Lesson #166
“I am entrusted with the gifts of God.”
Happiness is profoundly palpable. It affects everything and everyone around it. We all have stories of watching situations change when touched with peaceful joy. This doesn't mean we laugh in the face of misery. That is not compassion, but neither is being overly sympathetic while perpetuating the illusion. I hope to never lose the ability to empathize with others. On the other hand, I want to retain the ability to see past the form we call sorrow and know the Truth of the situation. Carrying a calm, buoyant feeling of happiness wherever we go is to bring healing to everything, everywhere. Whether it's a gentle internal smiling or an exuberant outward giggling, I invite you to join me today in the expression of Love, "giving living waters to the thirsty" -- and never fearing the consequences!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Whatever inspires with wisdom, Truth, or Love--be it song, sermon, or Science--blesses the human family with crumbs of comfort from Christ's table, feeding the hungry and giving living waters to the thirsty.”
Science & Health Page 234:4-8

"Noticing eye can see joy everywhere" is so true! Eyes see many things, but rarely notice. It's rather the same as "deep listening". Deep seeing -- I love it! Thank you for your words :)
