ACIM Workbook Lesson #154
“I am among the ministers of God.”
It's been a very interesting day in the gallery! Most people who came in seemed to have an "agenda". The first one I noticed was a man and his wife who were wearing guns on their belts. They both were very excited about their visit to Eureka and they hope to move here. As our small tourist town exhibits a lot of diversity in people and thought systems, it gives me great opportunities to witness the unity we all share. It doesn't matter that someone may be a right-wing republican gunslinger, he should be able to live amongst the liberal hippies and vice versa, because we truly are all One. Although I had difficulty finding common ground with this man, the next surprise comment was easier. Later in the day a nice man came in and said that this town seemed like a very spiritual place. I wholeheartedly agreed with him, whereupon he took my hands in his and asked me if I'd taken Jesus Christ as my personal savior. I was able to honestly answer that my main focus in life is to live as Jesus taught. A few years ago (or maybe less than that), I would have probably been polite to these people, but my demeanor would have shown that I didn't approve. I was happy to see that I simply witnessed these events and responded in a mellow way to them. All this practice of living Love seems to be working!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Millions of unprejudiced minds--simple seekers for Truth, weary wanderers, athirst in the desert--are waiting and watching for rest and drink. Give them a cup of cold water in Christ's name, and never fear the consequences.”
