I just finished reading Jeffrey Hildner's interview with Fenalla Bennetts in the October Journal [p. 18]. Where do I begin my gratitude? Before reading the article, I saw in the photo of this woman the very epitome of beauty, the inner glow that comes from loving God and man. This article opened many doors of thought for me, and none more important than the idea of forgiving myself. I had not realized until coming to that part that I hadn't really forgiven myself for not being alert enough in giving help to a dear one who passed on some years ago.
And I'm sure everyone who read the account of Gabriel Lumbadila is praying that he and his dear wife, Waiting, are reunited by now [October 2008, "Equal And Worthy in God's Eyes," p. 26]. I have a calendar on my wall that has a different quote for each month. One of the quotes says, "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow." With his trust in God and love of Christian Science, this dear man is indeed a manifestation of this courage.
To all who help bring us the periodicals, bless you.
