What Blesses One Blesses All

In Science and Health Mary Baker Eddy has written, “whatever blesses one blesses all.” The idea that every bit of good we do, no matter how small, goes outward and continues to multiply and bless others is quite profound.

When I first arrived in Plainfield, I had an old car that was on its last leg. A fellow church member helped me to lease a new car, even though my credit was very bad. This act of generosity allowed me to start putting my finances in order, and I was recently able to purchase this car at the end of its lease, all on my own.

And the blessing continues to grow. I have been able to use this car to bless others by driving them to church gatherings; and also making trips to Connecticut every other weekend to get my children.

I am so grateful to God for how, through every mile, He has provided us with safety, and what often feels like a front row seat to the beauty of His creation — the most beautiful sunsets, gorgeous scenery, and so many deer and other animals.

So when I look back at the blessing that this fellow member felt led to bring to me, and then how much goodness has come from that blessing, I just feel awestruck. We never really know what will come of what God is leading us to do, but Christian Science is helping me to be completely certain that blessings come from every God-directed action. I am so grateful to God for all the blessings He has provided to me, and for all the opportunities He has given to me.
