A New Day

Spiritual resource to share: the promise of new beginnings

So it is Monday, thoughts of Easter are still lingering, and I'm savoring the idea that resurrection is a daily occurrence. Here are some eye openers to start with:
From the Bible:

• Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy:

• The purpose and motive to live aright can be gained now. This point won, you have started as you should. You have begun at the numeration-table of Christian Science, and nothing but wrong intention can hinder your advancement. Working and praying with true motives, your Father will open the way. "Who did hinder you, that ye should not obey the truth?"
• To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings.

In a 19th century seminar class I took, it was pointed out that the word big in the mid-1800's ( when Science and Health was written) was actually used in reference to being pregnant, as in being "big" with child. So having a day "big" with blessings is like saying we have a day pregnant with possibilities!

Think of it. This morning, we have the opportunity to lay down every thing that may limit us, and start out fresh with a clean slate. This is not wishful thinking. This is as possible as it is for the sun to shine in on a new morning. It is natural, even divinely natural, to think of God as an open door of possibilities, God as the source of infinite inspiration and to think of ourselves as receptive, expectant, and firmly grounded on the solid foundation of Truth and Love.

We need everything this day will give us and this day has everything we need.
