Haiti, Haiti, Haiti

   Haiti's cry for comfort asks us to let go of a material person. It asks us to understand that life cannot be extinguished and that mankind's reflected life is deathless. Those that appear to have departed from a material body that so easily decays continue to be embraced in the everlasting arms of love. We cannot see spirit, god, or spirit's image and likeness with material eyes.

   Therefore, we must hold to what we know. We must refuse to believe beginnings and endings. We must close our eyes and discern love's reality in the place of every lie about love. A lie has no power, it has no truth, it has no life because god did not create it. Good is visible to the heart in the midst of mankind's extremity.

   We imprison when we label haiti and its people as "poorest in the western hemisphere." They are the rightly blessed "poor in spirit." Knowing this truth, they sing.

   Join with the haitians as they sing in the face of extremity. Haitians' singing reminds not only haitians, themselves, but also we who watch and pray that life, good, simply cannot be destroyed. Their voices teach the power of gratitude, hope and joy to "feed the famished affections."

   We do much when we appreciate haitians as neighbors and peers, join in their singing and together take the needed human footsteps. We do much when we exhibit normal activity. We do most when we walk with and share their song. In that way, we express love that comforts, inspires and heals.

Nine-One-One

Many, many are again commemorating the date, 9/11, some, facing a present emergency, are calling 911 and others are finding 911 in a different context, like the mundane spending of $9.11 --BUT you need to be aware that those 3 numbers in their Biblical context have proven many times to safeguard and to bring immediate help.

Psalm 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

RE: Tweeted Blog-Post Comment

Friends,

The @stcharlescs Tweet that linked you to a moderated comment was premature. The comment has not yet been accepted by hindfeet and posted. Hence, it is posted below in its entirety. (note: email address and this blog address were submitted with comment)

When misconceptions about Christian Science are published, it is a kindness to correct them with the true facts and without debate.

Anyone believing and stating a misconception is yet my brother or my sister and deserves respect expressed by taking time and care to share what is true about Christian Science. Not to do so would have them remain uninformed and not witness the universal healing power of Christian Science and would disobey the command of Christ Jesus cited in the comment.

Hindfeet,

God’s healing is spiritual healing. If medical science heals, it heals through the physical. Christian Science heals through the mind. But when God heals, He heals through the spirit. ~hindfeet

I agree with your pov that healing is to be expected and accepted spiritually as answered prayer - that brings the material picture into harmonious focus. Science demands a specific outcome when it's laws are correctly applied. For a Christian Scientist, healing demonstrates Science, the law of God, Spirit, Love, Truth and Mind** as Jesus taught and proved - "confirming the word with signs following" (Mark 16:20)

It is divine Mind, Spirit that heals. The human mind and/or spirit is personal, limited and powerless to operate/heal apart from Spirit, Mind. As Christ Jesus said: "The son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do; for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise"(John5:19) and in obedience to his command to heal the sick (Matt 10:8 & Luke 9:2), we must do likewise. And to do this, we must exchange blind faith and feelings for wisdom and understanding of God's eternally active Law of Health.
I am grateful that you wrote about faith vs. feeling in healing and that I was lead to your post.

Blessing,
Carolyn

**Christian Science recognizes 7 synonyms for God: Life, Truth, Love Soul, Spirit, Mind, Principle. As proper names for God, they are interchangeable and stand in clear contrast to the personal, human sense of the words.

The mistake: Mind = mind is a common one in world thought. But within it is a fingerpost pointing to the line of demarcation between divine Science and material science and erroneous belief. Hopefully Christian Science is better understood and well-served by this correcting comment.

Please note that comments to this blog are also moderated. While curious disagreement is welcome, sincerity and respect for Christian Science are required for comments to be posted.
