“So I came to an infinite, always has been, always will be universe which can only be contained in the Mind of God.”

 I know that patience is a virtue – unfortunately, it usually is not one of mine.  It isn’t so much that I want things, it’s more that I’m not good at handling uncertainty.  I like decisions.  I knew that there was no guarantee that our house would sell quickly and I knew that impatience wouldn’t help, so I began working, even before the house was listed, on the idea of harmony.

“Awake to God's truth. Shower ourselves with God's grace cleansing our thought from false beliefs. Dress ourselves in God's protection…”

As I reflect on the meaning of this year's Association assignment there is so much that I'm learning that is relevant to my personal experiences and to those I am helping to overcome their own challenges.  In our daily lives we wake up, take a shower, get dressed, go to work, come home, eat dinner, pray, and then go to bed. But here is what this assignment has shown me about what is truly going on spiritually and is showing us our illimitable new Life:

       1. Awake to God's truth.
       2. Shower ourselves with God's grace cleansing our thought from false
           beliefs.
       3. Dress ourselves in God's protection (or as the Bible says, “put on the
           whole armor of God” – Eph. 6:11).
       4. Occupy ourselves with divine Love (love others).
       5. Come home to His spiritual idea (we must continually do this with what
           seems to be the constant reminder of error in this material world).
       6. Feast on His ever-present power and goodness.
       7. Pray with the one divine Mind.
       8. Rest in the Life eternal.
