Thoughts with Mari: Lesson 7

There’s an old saying that nothing new exists under the sun. For me, that sums up the idea for today. Once I learn about something-a new technology, a new book, new clothes-what I’ve learned is in the past. This applies to how I relate to others as well, both positively and negatively.
I mentioned that a friend is entering into a difficult period of life, and what she is experiencing has triggered some distressing memories for me; however, when I remember that those memories belong to the past, I feel less uneasy and can respond more lovingly and openly to my friend. I ask for help in remembering that I perceive only the past. Thank You.

Since you’re here… …we have a small favor to ask. More people are reading our posts, listening to our audios and watching our videos than ever before but far fewer are donating for it. As an all-volunteer ministry, you can see why we need to ask for your help. MiraclesOne provides ACIM resources freely however it takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe in encouraging others to practically apply the Course principles in their lives – because it might just make the one difference in your life. If everyone who reads, listens or watches and likes what we offer helps to pay for it we can continue to afford our expenses and keep our resources FREE to all ACIM Students. Monthly Donors receive free gifts in appreciation for their support.
