Reply To: expectation

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!

I recently found a beautiful Native American saying, “Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.” This is a wonderful expression of having your expectation from the Lord! This is what Christ Jesus did when he gave thanks to God even before Lazarus was raised from the dead. This is an example of expecting good – rather than predicting and dreading some horrible event to happen. Stand porter at your door of thought, as Mrs. Eddy counsels us. Are you expecting good from your Father? If you are it will help prepare the way to receive it! “Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, and don’t mess with Mr. in-between” as the old song goes!!
