I Have a Choice!

ACIM Workbook Lesson #255
“This day I choose to spend in perfect peace."

Have you noticed that some people’s thoughts seem to go to the worst case scenario in any given situation? There is a planned electrical outage scheduled for maintenance to the system in our small town. It’s to be between 3 and 5 a.m. to cause the least possible disruption for everyone. I have heard people expressing fear for their businesses and homes. There is talk of staying up all night with a shotgun to insure safety. I can’t even imagine thinking this way, but I know many people do. This perfect peace we speak of in today’s ACIM topic is an impossibility to anyone who concentrates on fear and the myriad of what-ifs which come from that thought. When I choose peace, I send it out to others. When someone chooses fear, they don’t spread it to the world because erroneous illusions die on the vine. Divine Mind spreads like wildfire because it is the Oneness of which we are learning. Mortal belief can go no farther than our material thoughts. Choose peace today!

Mary Baker Eddy quote:

The calm and exalted thought or spiritual apprehension is at peace.” 506:11-12
