God richly supplies

(Written for a Christian Science friend in Poland
who's worried about income)


"Fear not, little flock;
for it is your Father's good
pleasure to give you the
kingdom", Jesus does assure.
(Luke 12:32)
Is not this promise for
money worries the cure?
For those of us who keep Him
closer than the problem;
on Him wholeheartedly rely,
the loving Father of all
does all needs supply.
God gives us the kingdom!
This surely includes all good.
Can we ask our Father for more?
Think about these words,
my friend. They cover you.
In fact, all Christian Science
reiterates of Jesus' teachings
are promises--let me repeat--
that apply, right now, to you.
Does this not make your spirits soar?

Who it is doing this blog

Have been praying about whether to identify myself as I have wanted to keep personality out of this activity, feeling that who does God's work not the important thing, only that it get done, that one goes all out for Christ. However, I do need to stand behind my words, so my name is Sharon Slaton Howell. I realize people in various parts of the world will recognize this name because of the voluminous writings done for The Christian Science Publishing Society in Boston, MA (USA) over the years, and for the past year plus, due to the many poems contributed to honor God's holy child. The man, who with his wife, started the site in 1994, is one of the most dedicated, humble, loving Christians I've been privileged to know, as are many of the friends I've made through this site.
While anyone reading this blog is free to have his or her say, I do not intend to argue about religion. To try to divest me of cherished spiritual convictions would be a total waste of someone's time, let me say right now. Christ's Christianity as made understandable/practical/provable to me through the God-inspired writings of Mary Baker Eddy is my greatest treasure.

Why I'm doing this blog

Ever since I discovered on-line a website devoted to saving Christian Scientists and leading them to a love for Christ Jesus! have had in mind to start a blog to put the record straight--at least from the viewpoint of this life-long, Journal-listed Christian Science practitioner who dearly loves our Lord and Master...as 3 books I've written and hundreds of poems to honor God's holy child attest. As I go along, will share insights, inspiration, poems, healings that I hope will show the world what the teachings of Jesus as given through Christian Science by Mary Baker Eddy can and are doing for many others today. It will be sheer heaven to send out into cyberspace what God gives me to share. And when it is aflame, cannot be hosed down by someone else. I am on fire for Christ! Let me end this little entry with the words of the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science herself. This is from her "Message to The Mother Church for 1901", page 28: "Sacred history shows that those who have followed exclusively Christ's teaching, have been scourged in the synogogues and persecuted from city to city. But this is no cause for not following it, and my only apology for trying to follow it is that I love Christ more than all the world..."
