Today I had lunch in the home of a dear friend. Kriste-lee refers to herself as “the cut and paste queen of the geriatric set”. She takes beautiful fabrics and covers any and everything! This almost-80-year-old woman has no television nor computer. She has a little radio on which she occasionally listens to NPR news. She’s a voracious reader and is quite well-informed, which leads to wonderful conversations. Today as I sat in her colorful home, my thoughts turned to a time when I was in need. After a lower-leg amputation, I couldn’t get to my downstairs shower and only had a tub on the level where I was confined. This wonderful friend designed a canopy shower, brought a plumber with her, and turned my bathtub into a shower — with the curtain rod being one of her unique fabric-covered creations — Wow! The photo above not only shows her innovative design, but on the wall is one of her “paintings” — Star Dancers Resting, which is all fabric, cut and pasted to a canvas. Today I want to celebrate creative, kind people. Let’s not be afraid of allowing our talent to bring peace and joy to the world!
“As God’s creative Thought proceeds from Him to you, so must your creative thought proceed from you to your creations. Only in this way can all creative power extend outward. God’s accomplishments are not yours, but yours are like His. He created the Sonship and you increase it. You have the power to add to the Kingdom, though not to add to the Creator of the Kingdom. You claim this power when you become vigilant only for God and His Kingdom. By accepting this power as yours you have learned to remember what you are.” A Course in Miracles T-7.I.2:3-9
“All questions as to the divine creation being both spiritual and material are answered in this passage, for though solar beams are not yet included in the record of creation, still there is light. This light is not from the sun nor from volcanic flames, but it is the revelation of Truth and of spiritual ideas. This also shows that there is no place where God’s light is not seen, since Truth, Life, and Love fill immensity and are ever-present. Was not this a revelation instead of a creation?” Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 504:11-14
