Every Thanksgiving every Christian Science church has a special service of prayer and gratitude of blessings.
Our service contains a reading from the Bible and Science and Health prepared especially for the occasions. After the reading those present in the congregation are invited to stand up and share what they are grateful for. You can find a church in your area in your telephone directory or on line on my website www.davidgshields.com.
So my question to you is what are you grateful for? I am sure you can think of at least one thing you are grateful to God for. Mary Baker Eddy in her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures says, “Are we really grateful for the good already received? Then we shall avail ourselves of the blessings we have, and thus be fitted to receive more. Gratitude is much more than a verbal expression of thanks. Action expresses more gratitude than speech.” (3:22-26)
Here is part of my gratitude list:
1. I am grateful to God who cares for me and loves me always.
2. I am grateful that the healing power of God heals all diseases
3. I am grateful that all things are possible to God and therefore nothing is impossible for me.
4. I am grateful that only good is going on and evil has no power but to destroy itself.
5. I am grateful Jesus Christ came to the world and told us that his peace would always be with us.
6. I am grateful that Mary Baker Eddy discovered Christian Science
7. I am grateful that God is with everyone when they open their heart to His blessings
8. I am grateful for a wonderful home, wife, family and friends
