Giving does not impoverish us in the service of our Maker, neither does withholding enrich us.
~ Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 79
Come, walk with Love along the way, / Let childlike trust be yours today; / Uplift your thought, with courage go, / Give of your heart’s rich overflow, / And peace shall crown your joy-filled day. / Come, walk with Love along the way.
(Christian Science Hymnal, No. 139:3)
Thank you Maggie. Give of your heart’s rich overflow. Abundant love. Can never be depleted.
Yes agreed, as we give with a joyful, confident heart we are often more blessed than the recipient of our giving.
Love and blessings to all our SV family!
Singing this hymn at Sunday School at the beginning of moving out of the nursery, enriched me as this hymn started me on a path of loving, and learning from all the family members who were Christian Scientists, that each one of us was God’s child. Harmony reigned, as we were all blessed to have one brother, who learned to love, and be kind to each one his four sisters. He was blessed when he married the one he loved, who also had more than four sisters. MERRY CHRISTMAS, with more LOVE!
As God is manifested by man…so we experience our at-onement with our Father /Mother through loving and giving to our fellow man. What a beautiful season this is ..and the best gift is knowledge of the Christ…our permanent being.
Thankyou for the Prophets..for Jesus..for Mrs Eddy sharing Christian Science and for this peaceful place to visit everyday..thank you Evan for Spirit View and all this family of contributors. We are so blessed as the loved of Love.
Happy Christmas to you all.❣️
Amen to that Barbara!!!
The loveliness of Love is all around.

Christmas blessings to all. L. X.
Not only Evan, but all who share their loving inspiration is a gift to everyone. My heart is filled with gratitude!
To dear Evan for his Love for all mankind and to all those around the globe who find SpiritView a haven of rest, I send my heartfelt wishes and Love for a Christmas filled with blessings.
From Hymn #164,
“Joy to the world, the Lord is come, Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare him room, And heaven and nature sing.
No more let sin and sorrow grow, Nor thorns infest the ground;
Where-e’er he comes, his blessings flow, And hope and joy abound.
He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness And wonders of his love”.
Joy fills my heart for all of the blessings that are shared here and all
of the love given so abundantly. I thank you All!! I want to lift my
voice and sing! Joy to the world! Thank you, dear ones, for this
inclusive universal family that I cherish so much.
Thankyou Evan & All Spirit View family! Such a Blessing to be with all of you every morning! your inspirations are so uplifting. Thankyou. Wishing all a very Blessed Christmas and Blessed New Year, much love to all.

Thank you, J, for this helpful and healing article. Thank you, Evan, and Merry Christmas to all.
Evan and Spirit View community, thank you for this rich overflow of loving ideas to live by, to help us let our spiritual lights shine brightly. Warmest of Christmas joy to each of you.
Merry Christmas Everyone,
I love this! To me it means we cannot run out of energy or joy when we are giving and serving others. Divine Life and Love is infinite ♾️.
Thank you Evan for always keeping us inspired and uplifted and to Mrs Eddy and Christ Jesus for showing us the way…
Christmas blessings to Everyone..
Thank you Evan and all for your sharing all year.
Blessings to you all
I am reminded with the messages above, about how the light from a
candle can be shared by innumerable other candles and the original
flame is never diminished or lessened in any way, but multiplies the
light. By letting our light shine, we give unselfed joy, and the saying,
it is better to give than receive, is truly rewarded with this divine
giving. The spiritual gifts above are so special and endearing. They
are the most wonderful that could be shared and I appreciate each
and every thought with deepest gratitude. What a lovely way to
experience Christmas with you all. Thank you, Evan, for having this
beautiful place to gather and share.
Thank you, Evan and all. Merry Christmas!
Thank you Evan for the Posts of 2025 and for all the “seekers of Truth” that leave comments that add to the inspiration given by Evan and that bless us all … and to those who may not comment regularly but their good thoughts bless us too. SPIRITVIEW is like having Sunday School daily. I thank you all and wish you a Merry Christmas and look so forward to 2026, knowing God is the only one in control of His universe and that All that is not right will be changed in a way to benefit ALL His children. Evan, your blogs to come will continue to be part of the changes in human thought and help bring Light so that only Good can be expressed and experienced as we learn more about How to be God’s beloved, and love all our spiritual brothers and sisters, even the ones who may have strayed away from His flock. The light that lit the way for the Wise Men of old that led them to the “babe in the manger” is still brightly shinning in our hearts today and His Christ is still with us saying “follow me” .. I am the way, I will not lead you astray. Trust your dear Father, God, who has lighted the way for us .. Forever!!!
Much Love,
CayDee
