Gratitude for the Good on hand

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    In this week’s lesson, in II Kings, there is the story of Elisha and the widowed woman whose sole possession was a pot of oil. And in John there is the story of Jesus and the lad who had five barley loaves and two fishes.
    Both Elisha and Jesus were facing what appeared humanly to be insurmountable challenges. Yet, they both met those challenges working with God and what was at hand.
    Mary Baker Eddy asks, “are we really grateful for the good already received?” She adds, “If yes, we shall avail ourselves of the blessings we have and thus be fitted to receive more.”
    Had David been impressed by the physical presence that stood before him, he never could have brought Goliath down with a sling and a small round stone.
