Here are some thoughts about how I've made my spirituality--my relationship to God--practical in everyday life. :)

Divine Protection

Yesterday morning, I had a lovely experience!

It was time for me to be leaving my house, and I was making my way down the last section of steps to my living room, wearing high heels and wide-legged pants. One of the heels of my shoes caught on the opposite pant leg, and I lost my balance, with about four steps left to go.

It was BEAUTIFUL: even as pictures of what could happen tried to come to thought, I could feel them being swept away. My thought was filled--in that instant--with thoughts of peace :) and protection. Instead of falling, it was like someone picked me up right from where I was, and set me down on the floor. In my mind, it was like the old video/computer games where when the character jumps, its limbs remain motionless, and the whole frozen body just moves to a different location. I landed on my feet (granted, with a bit of a thud), but neither of the heels of my shoes broke. My pants legs were not torn, and I felt absolutely no effects from the incident.

Of course afterward, angel thoughts made sure I knew that this was an instance of divine protection. That, to me (and according to the teachings of Christian Science) doesn't mean I was in a dangerous situation and then delivered from it, but rather that I was never in one. It never existed. There was a suggestion coming to thought, encouraging me to believe in such a situation. But understanding His law to the extent that I do, I was safe. 

It was a very Psalm 91 kind of moment. :)
