The Ass or Donkey

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!

    While I was thinking about this Bible story in this week’s Lesson it occurred to me that this is a lesson in humility and not judging others. It is a common belief that donkeys are stubborn and perhaps not too bright. But it was the donkey that first saw the angel of the LORD with a drawn sword. Don’t assume anything and listen closely to God.

    I love this story. It certainly should have been humbling to Balaam as well as evidencing the intelligence and value of the ass.
