With love to mothers and all who express the nurturing qualities of our Father-Mother God.
“Mother’s Evening Prayer”
A Poem by Mary Baker Eddy
| | |
O gentle presence, peace and joy and power; / O Life divine, that owns each waiting hour, / Thou Love that guards the nestling’s faltering flight! / Keep Thou my child on upward wing tonight.
Love is our refuge; only with mine eye / Can I behold the snare, the pit, the fall: / His habitation high is here, and nigh, / His arm encircles me, and mine, and all.
O make me glad for every scalding tear, / For hope deferred, ingratitude, disdain! / Wait, and love more for every hate, and fear / No ill,—since God is good, and loss is gain.
| | |
Beneath the shadow of His mighty wing; / In that sweet secret of the narrow way, / Seeking and finding, with the angels sing: / “Lo, I am with you alway,”—watch and pray.
No snare, no fowler, pestilence or pain; / No night drops down upon the troubled breast, / When heaven’s aftersmile earth’s tear-drops gain, / And mother finds her home and heav’nly rest.

Could honoring our parents heal us?
Guest: Jonathon Eder
Is there more to the Fifth Commandment, “Honour thy father and thy mother” (Exodus 20:12), than respect and obedience? Our guest Jonathon Eder talks with host David Brown about how this commandment has actually taught him more about how to honor God, and how that’s brought healing in his life.

This Week's Bible Lesson
May 4 - May 10

ADAM AND FALLEN MAN
Are we fallen, separated from God? Christian Science reveals man is not fallen, but forever spiritual, made in God’s likeness, and sustained by divine Life.
"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." I Corinthians 15:22
"Whatever indicates the fall of man or the opposite of God or God’s absence, is the Adam-dream, which is neither Mind nor man..." Mary Baker Eddy
