On Wednesday evening, after we arrived home from the testimony meeting at church, my daughter noticed she no longer had the Jade that was in her ring on her finger. It was an heirloom from her grandmother, which she enjoyed having, since an aunt had given it to her. I told her we would go early the next morning to look for it at church, because I knew the place would be vacuumed in the afternoon. As we drove there, I was praying aloud in the car. I have had many wonderful demonstrations of restoration before, and I confidently expected to have the jade restored to Nicole.
Below are some of the spiritual ideas that came to me (not in the order that they unfolded to me at the time):
After we arrived at church, I had a clear sense that Nicole would find the Jade, and
immediately I heard her yell out that she had found it. I gratefully called the church
clerk, and told her that it was found. The little Jade was in one hand with my bunch of keys, and the other hand held my cellphone, on which I was talking with the clerk while walking to the car. At the car, I noticed that the Jade was no longer in my hand, so we turned around and went back into the church to retrace our steps.
I immediately handled the thought of reversal, and knew that Truth reverses error, and error is nothing, and therefor, Truth cannot be reversed, nor the finding of the Jade. Nicole again called out to me that she found the Jade under the car, and I told her that I had a feeling that that was where it fell, although I didn’t look there first.
We drove home, and put the Jade and the ring in a music box until we go to have it remounted.
This kind of experience is available to anyone who studies Christian Science, and is willing
to accept the Mind that was in Christ, Jesus, with it’s redeeming, spiritual ideas. Also, we are grateful to Mary Baker Eddy, who overcame all obstacles to prove and teach what she discovered of God’s nature and essence.
Below are some of the spiritual ideas that came to me (not in the order that they unfolded to me at the time):
- “Seek, and ye shall find!”
- The Parable of the Lost Coin (Luke 15:8-10)
- “Open my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.”
- There is one Mind, and all is Mind and Mind’s infinite ideas.
- That which appeared to to be a Jade to human sense is really a spiritual idea in Mind, a property of Mind (and not of matter), and since Nicole actually is a compound idea of Mind, she includes this property of Mind and can’t be separated from it.
- There had been a marvelous testimony on Wednesday evening of someone having a cellphone restored after a long hike through the wild. This was fresh in thought, plus I thought of the two incidences when my son had lost a necklace and the keys to our apartment in the sand on Hawaii beaches, which were also restored as the result of scientific prayer.
