Some days, when I’m feeling grateful for all the things people do to help me, I begin to feel sorry that I can’t do for others in kind. And then something will happen, as it did a few days ago, which causes me to realize that even though our physical circumstances may change, there are still many gifts we have to offer the world. The drawing which is included with this writing was done by a neighbor who lives up the street. We share a love of art and music and have a kinship which seems to go deeper than this physical realm. She reached out to me last week for help in finding someone to transport her husband to a neighboring town. Because I have always lived in this area, because I have been involved with many organizations, I know a large number of people. Because of this knowledge, I can put people in touch with each other when the need arises. She drew this sweet mouse as a thank you for doing this. And so I remind you, as I’m reminding myself, that we all have something to offer each other. As my dear friend, Jim Young, always says: We’re here to lend ourselves to each other. Namaste …
“What you believe you are determines your gifts, and if God created you by extending Himself as you, you can only extend yourself as He did. Only joy increases forever, since joy and eternity are inseparable. God extends outward beyond limits and beyond time, and you who are co-creator with Him extend His Kingdom forever and beyond limit. Eternity is the indelible stamp of creation. ⁶The eternal are in peace and joy forever.”
A Course in Miracles T-7.I.5:2-6
“Whatever inspires with wisdom, Truth, or Love — be it song, sermon, or Science — blesses the human family with crumbs of comfort from Christ’s table, feeding the hungry and giving living waters to the thirsty.”
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 234:4-8
