Thanksgiving

Mary Baker Eddy writes in Science and Health, “If we are ungrateful for Life, Truth, and Love, and yet return thanks to God for all blessings, we are insincere and incur the sharp censure our Master pronounces on hypocrites. In such a case, the only acceptable prayer is to put the finger on the lips and remember our blessings.”

I thank God every day for Life. I thank God that He is Life, that He is my Life, that He is your life, and that we are alive.

I thank God for Truth; for the fact that the universe isn’t just a haphazard bunch of matter. There is a Truth that governs the universe, that governs my life, that governs all of us.

I thank God for Love, for the fact that Love destroys hate. What a comfort that is. What a protection; what an instruction for us to live by.

I thank God for intelligence. God is the one Mind that knows all, has created all, and governs all. And He lets us know what we need to know, when we need to know it. We are intelligent because God loves us enough to make us that way.

“Delight thyself also in the Lord.” (Psalm 37: 4) In the Lord, we have much to delight in.
