Thank You, Plainfield Church

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!

    Since tuning into your weekly powerful Bible lessons last spring, my faith has grown much stronger through prayer and study. I was able to apply the teachings during Hurricane Irma and maintain peace by staying in the now; thankful for each moment by going within and not being fearful of what my senses were forecasting. By focusing on the eternal now, my consciousness was above the storm and I knew God was in control of everything. God’s Love was right there in each “now” in total harmony. The next morning, when I looked out, there were tears of gratitude. The old trees knew how far to bend and only a few branches were down. The pink plastic flamingos in the garden were still standing, and the feral feline I feed daily showed up at the back door for breakfast.

    I took to heart what Mrs. Eddy wrote in Now and Then (Prose Works):
    “Behold, now is the accepted time.” A lost opportunity is the greatest of losses. Whittier mourned it as what “might have been.” We own no past, no future, we possess only now. If the reliable now is carelessly lost in speaking or in acting, it comes not back again. Whatever needs to be done which cannot be done now, God prepares the way for doing; while that which can be done now, but is not, increases our indebtedness to God. Faith in divine Love supplies the ever-present help and now, and gives the power to “act in the living present.”

    God bless you and the mighty work you do for the world!
