A day of thanksgiving

November 28, 2024 | 43 comments

“Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving,” the Psalmist tells us (Ps. 147:7).

Today is Thanksgiving Day in the United States, a time to remember all the blessings we often take for granted.

I’m grateful for my family, church, active practice of Christian Science, friendly neighbors, for the ability to overcome evil with good, for health, life, love, truth, for the caring community of spiritual thinkers found on SpiritView, and so much more.  Most importantly, I’m grateful to God for making all the goodness of life possible.

May your list of things to be grateful for multiply and grow and inspire you.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving Day, wherever you happen to be.

Happy Thanksgiving!

    1. Agreed Dilys, I too am grateful to have Christian Science available for anyone to study, “to enable our spiritual understanding of our relationship to God.” With that growing understanding every aspect of Life is illuminated and shown to be harmonious. What is better than that?

      Grateful for a special day set aside to focus on and appreciate all of God’s good (hopefully we include this every day as well).

  8. Wish to express my gratitude for being introduced to Christian Science by my husband before we married many years ago. So grateful for the many healings through prayer and also for the inspiring resources made available to all …. and the loving support of Spiritview community.

  9. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
    (Psalms 100:1–5)
    Amen❣️

  10. I have been reading Spiritview for several years, but this is the first time I am commenting. I want to express my sincere thanks to Evan for providing this forum. I look forward every morning to reading Spiritview & on the weekends look back at the previous posts. I don’t live near a C.S. Church and it is so comforting to have the Spiritview family to turn to for inspiration and to be reminded of God’s constant living presence.

  11. Un immense merci pour ces SpiritView chaque jour, je suis tellement reconnaissante de connaître la Science Chrétienne et de découvrir Dieu et Son Amour un peu plus chaque jour.
    Je suis loin d’une église, mais je suis reconnaissante de pouvoir suivre en ligne les services d’une Église en France, c’est une véritable bénédiction, pour cela aussi je suis infiniment reconnaissante.
    Merveilleux thanksgiving à tous.

  12. Obrigada Evans.
    Estou muiiiiiiito grata por tudo o que a Vida/Deus sempre me deu, me dá e me dará. Penso que é muito bom ter um dia especial para agradecer.

I live very far from any church so to feel a connection with other Christian Scientists is such a blessing. I look forward to reading this blog everyday.

  25. God’s cornucopia of blessings abounds! Thank you all for celebrating the abundance and love within God’s grace!

  26. So many lovely ways of expressing gratitude are shared here. We all do have
    so much to be grateful for. I am so grateful for loved one’s sharing in such sweet
    comments. Of course remembering family and friends, but a few special
    Thanksgiving days come to mind, which were spent with friends at a nursing home,
    where my one friend, who had so little, materially, wanted to treat me to the meals
    they had there at the time (for a small fee). It made her so happy to share what she could.
    The thoughtfulness and of such incredible gestures of love … love is reflected in love …
    are truly immeasurable in its expression and make our hearts sing.
    It was so heartwarming to have a neighbor on each side bring over a lovely platter from
    their family’s get-together and the neighbor on the other side brought over home-made
    pumpkin bread … each such endearing gifts of kindness. So much love shared today! .

  27. I’m very grateful to God for this Thanksgiving Day celebrated in this nation and by all Christian Science students around the world. Grateful for the online Thanksgiving Lesson being available to all and the online service with testimonies from all over the world. Grateful for the provision of this forum and the inspiration shared here. Grateful for neighbors who sent a beautiful and lovingly prepared meal to me. Grateful the snow didn’t “stick” so the families could travel to relatives today. Grateful for every healing through Christian Scientific prayer that I have experienced and for every courageous challenge to material thinking that is being sent into the world. God bless you all.

  28. Thank you all for your comments and wishes.
    Here in Hamburg I had a nice thanksgiving Service with lovely organ music and a wonderful solo. As America and England do celebrate Thanksgiving day more with a special meal together with family and ftiends , I wish you all a very blessed and happy day!❤️

  29. Thank you dear Father Mother God for your ever presence and your bountiful blessings for all your children worldwide. Thank you for the light of the Christ. Thank you for Your good. Thank you for Your presence in my life.

    compilation of giving of thanks … Lovely to read and absorb all of the
    love shared here.
