I've mentioned this artist before, but I want to support his message of Love in these trying times. Alex Cook is a CS artist who really wants to 'share the Love.' He began by painting beautiful "You Are Loved" murals at schools and other locations, but hasn't been able to do that since March. Now he has an online store where you can buy banners and stickers, so YOU can share the Love! Please check it out and consider how you can express more Love and help heal the world. http://www.youarelovedmurals.com/store-1

Love inspires, illumines, designates, & leads the way. -- Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 454

Don't forget to keep praying for the world!

Love this!! The paragraph continues .... Unless these appear, I cast aside the word as a sham and counterfeit, having no ring of the true metal. Love cannot ...be a mere abstraction, or goodness without activity and power. As a human quality, the glorious significance of affection is more than words: it is the tender, unselfish deed done in secret; the silent, ceaseless prayer; the self-forgetful heart that overflows; the veiled form stealing on an errand of mercy, out of a side door; the little feet tripping along the sidewalk; the gentle hand opening the door that turns toward want and woe, sickness and sorrow, and thus lighting the dark places of earth. (Miscellaneous Writings 18831896, Mary Baker Eddy) See more

Words to live by...happy weekend-ing!
