Rules for a satisfied life

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!

    Thank you for this Lesson, in which I found so many helpful rules to live by, for a satisfied, peaceful and happy life:

    1. “Murmur not among yourselves.” (John 6:43) – don’t grumble, complain, or utter sullen discontent over my circumstances. Instead…
    2. “Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.” (Philippians 4:4) – be happy and joyful in all the good around me, — not once, but again and again and again.
    3. “Let your moderation be known unto all men.” (Philippians 4:5) – keep calm in my thought and demeanor, restrain from violent passions and emotionalism; don’t overindulge in appetites; no extreme ups or downs.
    4. “Be careful for nothing…” (Philippians 4:6) – don’t worry about anything, but put my trust in God.
    5. “…by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving” ((Philippians 4:6) – when I ask God for any needful thing, first give thanks that He has heard me and has already supplied it now, and abundantly.
    6. And lastly, “Hold thought steadfastly to the enduring, the good, and the true…” (S&H 261:4) – be disciplined in my thinking by knowing that God is Mind, my mind, the only Mind — and stick to that!
