Women’s marches, government shutdowns, zero-degree temperatures, 70-degree rainstorms — what an interesting week it’s been since I last wrote to you! Responding with Love is easier than many people think it to be. I made a Facebook post thanking everyone for being loving and supportive, because I see this happening in my life and the lives of those around me. But it brought out a couple of disagreements from women who feel excluded by cliques of people. On the opposite side, other woman spoke up about how they actively get involved, participating and helping others, and by those actions feel included and cared for. Looking at loving people through the eyes of others is an interesting exercise. Viewing how some interpret loving events such as peace marches can also be a different experience. Every moment is illuminating! For this, I am grateful, too.
“‘Love one another’” (I John, iii. 23), is the most simple and profound counsel of the inspired writer. In Science we are children of God; but whatever is of material sense, or mortal, belongs not to His children, for materiality is the inverted image of spirituality.” Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 572:7-11
