Thoughts of the mind left unattended take on
a life of their own.
Our role, nay, our moral obligation, is to control such thoughts. Those revealing themselves to
be negative or unkind will find no haven.
Uppermost are thoughts of a positive and loving Nature; those which
inspire us to always look for the good in others. Of a sudden our outlook on life is viewed as
if from a mountaintop midst glorious rays of sunshine. We can but give thanks to God.

“…control such thoughts…”
Isn’t it amazing when out-of-the-blue, without
realizing it, your thoughts have taken you on a journey to a past experience. You
remember it, you feel it. The other
morning I awoke to a disturbing memory.
I could feel being pulled into
the replay scene on the screen of my mind.
Thank God for friends who share their tried and
true wisdom. A short time ago, Mary
said, “if a robber comes to your door, would you let him in?” “NO,” I said.
“Well, why do you let your thoughts rob you of joy and happiness?” Mary then quoted *Mary Baker Eddy – “Stand porter at the door of thought… ” This simple quote saves me every time ! blw

Carol Ann's email says,
"There is a story printed about a man who was prisoner in the infamous Hanoi Hilton. Every day he wrote on his cell walls (with his finger), Control Thought. It got him through the experience. I've always said the only thing we are in control of is our thoughts."
