good morning Evan and group. We have to work in our consciousness the omnipresence of God. Knowing that it is impossible not to reflect it at some point, and I think that in the face of temptation is a good antidote, you have to be a good archer at the door of thought. That picture I love, the puppy reflects the Love … Good weekend for all, knowing that we can not separate ourselves from God as difficult as the appearance of error wants to show.
A couple of days ago I had been inspired to be a right idea just as man is partly defined in the Christian Science textbook and is read thus-“He is the compound idea of God, including all right ideas;…” Therefore being a right idea how can I do wrong? This has been a guide and reminder for me to be watchful. Evan, thank you very much for your blogs, they are very helpful. And also to everyone for sharing your inspirations.
Thank you Gustavo and Teresa, for your wonderful inspiring comments.
I do also love that Truth from the section question “what is Man” in SH, i.e. that we are all the compound idea of God, including all right ideas. Yes, we are God`s idea always receiving right ideas from God and doing the right thing.
Thank you Evan for making us think about this, of course from a spiritual point of view. And really, I could´nt resist that awfully sweet look of this very sweet dog, could give him/her a lovely hug.
Hi, Uta. Thanks for your comment. I see that you love animals intensely, just like me. How to resist hugging and giving the buiscuit to that wonderful mascotota?
They are wonderful beings!
Yes, Gustavo, thats right, animals are wonderful beings. They are lovely ideas of God. I have two guinea pigs, Maxi and Lusie. Lusie ist quite joung and new and still shy. Maxi is just on my sofa, chewing bomboo leafs, one of his titbits.
I love the image of Maxi and the bamboo! Having an adorable and incredibly sweet chihuahua, I’ve had to learn to steel myself to this puppy dog eyes look. I do give in sometimes, especially when he wants on my lap (which is often)! But other times he wants what’s not good for him, or I just can’t comply. It can be a challenge! “Lead me not into temptation…”
I love that in Christian Science, the more I awaken to the understanding of God’s allness and Truth, if I am tempted, afterwards I realize there is no longer any satisfaction in straying from God. It’s completely empty and unfulfilling. Our Father-Mother God forgives us when we do stray, but we must honestly turn to God. The only true joy, happiness, power, satisfaction comes from staying right with God. And oh how satisfying it is. Thank you God, Thank you Evan, Thank you SV family.
Thanks for this message, and the cute dog picture!
I remind myself frequently of this truism, especially when I get home and all the parking spaces are taken – including by someone who lives in back, and could park right outside her door! There are almost always spaces there. Instead she always tries to park in front, which is much more convenient for most of the rest of the residents, including me. Point being, despite praying about it a lot, I sometimes still am tempted by a wrong thought. If I am feeing bad, it’s more aggressive.
I will be glad when I no longer have those thoughts, but meanwhile I thank God for helping me stay strong and refute them when they come!
Thank you Ellen telling about your experience with the parking possibilities.
The same I am experiencing when I come from church or from a membership meeting in the evening. Some leave a huge gap but too small that my car fits in it.
Once I thought, no I must not be angry, God is in controll of all that, too. So, when I am nearly at home I thank God heartyly for the parking gap He has prepared for me. Then I think that God prepares the place for all who need it. Sometimes i drive several times looking around and praying, dear Father where did you prepare the place for me.
You know, always since I do it like that, I found a place, sometimes where I did not expect it.
Dear Ellen and Uta – it can be wonderful to park in the space the farthest away and enjoy a nice walk. It is wonderful especially during the holidays when the air is crisp and the holiday decorations are out or at night when the stars are out. Or, in the Fall when all the trees are colorful. Thank you Evan for another wonderful Spiritview. Thank you contributors.
It really is a relief to know that doing the right thing is actually easier and more productive. We may have to practice patience and “wait on God,” but the result is always better. Now if I could only do this consistently!
When it appears parking is going to be a problem I reach out to Gods angels for help. “Ok parking angels find me a spot” and its there every time. 🙂 I love all MBE’s references to angels. If you have angel thoughts there is no temptation to accept fear or anger.

Thank you, Evan ♥️ This reminds me of a favorite quote, “The time is always right to do what is right.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
There is never any satisfaction or sense of harmony in doing anything that is not of God.
Absolutely
Yet who among us never
does the wrong thing

Yes,Kisten, you are right,sometimes the space God lead me to,is a bit farther away and I am thankful for that place, too.
