The gift of Christ is all I seek today.

“What but Christ’s vision would I use today?”

In Hollie’s notes she tells a story of bad customer service and how we all expect to be treated well by store clerks. Using the lesson, she turns her thoughts around to ask herself to let go of those expectations and be the one to bring loving-kindness to all situations.

The Course has taught me to find the Presence of Love within me. From this place of being, I can share space with others in this world.

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” ~Mahatma Gandhi

Christ is present in me. The lesson says it is also a present given me by God.

Good … we agree. Christ consciousness is something I have and should use.

As I began this lesson, from the title I was hopeful that maybe I’d be told of a new gift other than Christ vision. I’m still waiting on that one so, perhaps, feeling a bit discouraged this morning.

“What but Christ’s vision would I use today?”

What indeed?! The lesson is telling me that the world I live in is all the result of how I perceive the world. It is so important how I see.

It will come.

“… restored to love and holiness and peace.”

As I read the lesson I was reminded of the Prodigal Son, the part of the story where the son returns, and the Father lovingly welcomes him. For the son to receive the Father’s embrace was unexpected … Love.

I see the Father throwing his coat over the son … holiness.

I feel the son take a deep breath, feel the feeling of home, as tears come to his eyes … peace.

What a lovely reflection. Thank you, Jesus, for this story that keeps giving.

Today I am with my Father. Today I am the Christ child. _/\_
