Thank you for all of your articles. I especially enjoyed this one due to the timeliness. It was an answer to a situation I am working on currently so it came at the perfect time. This happens daily in our study of Christian Science.

Dear Sheila
Patience and wisdom. What wonderful qualities to express! Thank you for sharing the idea of being able ” to choose the better part”. Only the good is reall and permanent; the rest is no part of us and can be erased. Again, thanks so much!

What a simple and inspiring idea. I work with adult woman in a County Women’s Jail – and they could use this exercise, too. Their continual struggle is over acquiring a new view of their identity in order to overcome the problems that placed them in jail. For many, it is not their first time in the jail. So practical. Thank you.

Thank you for your article, Sheila. How important to know that we can choose to express good, to express God’s qualities, and not be limited and crippled by their opposites.

Very practical idea – one that can be used by any Sunday school teacher, parent, or teacher. Good for us adults too.

Thanks Sheila,

I always found it important as a parent to make that distinction of their ability to choose their thoughts and actions carefully. When my children chose a wrong action they had to write me a paper. If they were disobedient they had to write a paper on “Why I should be obedient” I never had them write why they shouldn’t do something but always why they should do something. It made them think about the reasons we do what is right. I love how your chaplan friend handled this in the correctional facility. This kind of thinking really blesses everyone. Thanks again. This was a really helpful reminder to me to keep my thoughts in the right place at all times.
