“This day I choose to spend in perfect peace.” The daily workbook lesson from the beautiful teachings of A Course in Miracles is exactly what I need to hear, to read, to ponder, to live — especially today! It is a constant meditation for me to stay calm, to not jump up on my high horse, to keep from pontificating about things in which I believe strongly. The following words of Mary Baker Eddy’s dovetail beautifully with peaceful choices. “This material world is even now becoming the arena for conflicting forces. On one side there will be discord and dismay; on the other side there will be Science and peace. The breaking up of material beliefs may seem to be famine and pestilence, want and woe, sin, sickness, and death, which assume new phases until their nothingness appears. These disturbances will continue until the end of error, when all discord will be swallowed up in spiritual Truth.” Science & Health Page 92:12-20
“This day I choose to spend in perfect peace. It does not seem to me that I can choose to have but peace today. And yet, my God assures me that His Son is like Himself. Let me this day have faith in Him Who says I am God’s Son. And let the peace I choose be mine today bear witness to the truth of what He says. God’s Son can have no cares, and must remain forever in the peace of Heaven. In His Name, I give today to finding what my Father wills for me, accepting it as mine, and giving it to all my Father’s Sons, along with me.
“And so, my Father, would I pass this day with You. Your Son has not forgotten You. The peace You gave him still is in his mind, and it is there I choose to spend today.”
A Course in Miracles W-255.1:1–2:3
