Today marks the 30th anniversary of when my boys and I moved into our home in Eureka Springs. On this beautiful first day of 2025, Carol Peacock and I went for a long drive and enjoyed lunch at the only restaurant we found open. It was a day in which we remembered connections, while relating stories from our past. Four years ago, Carol’s good friend from forever dropped dead while working at Ermillio’s, a local Italian restaurant. I later purchased his old classic Jeep, and this is the vehicle we used today, while enjoying our mini-road trip. It felt like a tribute to her dear friend, Cliff, while being a celebration of friendship in general. This year my “focus word” will be connections. I’m seeing their importance more clearly, and realizing that many (if not all) of our world’s problems would be resolved if we had more book clubs, front porch visits with neighbors, and all the other forms of communications which may have fallen away in our lives. May we never forget we’re all in this together …
“Matter cannot connect mortals with the true origin and facts of being, in which all must end. It is only by acknowledging the supremacy of Spirit, which annuls the claims of matter, that mortals can lay off mortality and find the indissoluble spiritual link which establishes man forever in the divine likeness, inseparable from his creator.”
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 491:11-16
“There is nothing to fear. How safe the world will look to me when I can see it! It will not look anything like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. I will recognize in everyone my dearest Friend. What could there be to fear in a world that I have forgiven, and that has forgiven me?”
