Thanksgiving Day is soon upon us in the United States and other countries around the world. It’s a reminder of how important gratitude is to success in life, not to be felt just on Thanksgiving Day, but on every day of the year!
As Mary Baker Eddy writes, “Gratitude and love should abide in every heart each day of all the years”
(Manual of The Mother Church, p. 60).
There is much to be grateful for today!!
Could we have a more precious gift than the clear theology of Mary Baker Eddy and he grounding in Jesus Sermon on the Mount?
What a wonderful graphic and message. Praising God is man’s natural activity!
Amen!
Am very grateful for Evan’s blessing and healing and comforting SpiritView!
I am compelled to write Hymn # 3 for you all down, it is so lovely and strong:
A grateful heart a garden is, Where there is always room
for every lovely, Godlike grace to come to perfect bloom.
A grateful heart a fortress is, A staunch and rugged tower,
Where God’s omnipotence, revealed, Girds man with mighty power.
A grateful heart a temple is, A shrine so pure and white,
Where angels of His presence keep Calm watch by day or night.
Grant then, dear Father-Mother, God, Whatever else befall,
This largess of a grateful heart That loves and blesses all.
And thank you Grace and John, so true. And such a joyful picture for Thanksgiving on top here!
And I am looking forward to all the wonderful comments to come today, thanks all so much!
Thank you dear Uta, for printing out the lovely hymn. It just tells us what gratitude
is and does. I particularly love the first verse, gratitude being likened to a garden where
all the lovely graces that God has given us come to perfect bloom. And all the other verses build on that.
Grateful thanks to you, Evan, for giving us inspiring thoughts every day,
and for everyone for their comments. And, yes, John, we should be so
grateful to Mary Baker Eddy for giving us a wonderful gift, by sharing
with us her discovery of the Science of true Being.
Yes thanks dear Maggie, and also for me the first verse is favorite!
Dear Uta,
I always appreciate your Love for all. I am always able to feel your heart felt Love for God and this beautiful Christ Science.
Evan thank you for your Love of all.
This is one of my favorite hymns and I am so happy that you quoted it in today’s SpiritView. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who enjoys this SV refreshment as much as we do.
Today is a good time to say, “THANK YOU, Evan” for all the good you do, for all the help you give, and for Spiritview.net.
Thank you Evan for your whole hearted bright light that enlightens us day by day. Thank you for your infinite good. You, like Jesus, are a true example of living Truth. A beautiful offering.
Thanks be to God and Mary Baker Eddy.
Like the image shows, Love to, in and from
all.
Thanks Evan sir. Grateful for every moment n breath we take. In HIM we live , move and have our being .So whatever we have is thine. Gratitude n humility always.
Mere words are not adequate for the gratitude I have to you, Evan, for this wonderful
site, everyone here who shares in all of the love, peace, harmony and inspiration that
is so lovingly given, either though comments, thoughts and action for a world who
needs it so much.
CS Hymn #224 shines forth it’s gratefulness ..
“O Lord, I would delight in Thee And on Thy care depend;
To Thee in every trouble flee, My best, my ever Friend…
He that has made my heaven secure, Will here all good provide…
O God, I cast my care on Thee; I triumph and adore;
Henceforth my great concern shall be To love and praise Thee more”
Blessings to you, Evan, Kathy, your family, everyone who makes this site
so endearing, whomever chooses the graphics, everyone here …
Happy EveryDay Thanksgiving!

So grateful for Spirit View and the many wonderful and abundant articles on gratitude. 🙂

Thank you for these great articles, dear J ! I especially enjoyed in this one,
with the “garden of thought” and how a temporal rose in it’s “physicality”
does not last but the Soul of it lasts forever, like when captured in a photo.
In keeping with the garden theme ( – love that hymn above… A grateful
heart a garden is, … thank you, dear Uta !)… flowers are God’s gift, such
expressions of divine Love.
“Friends are the flowers in the garden of Life.”
“Keep a green tree (Gratitude) in your heart and perhaps a singing bird
will come” – Chinese Proverb Lovely!
Yes thank you, dear Carol.
Here it is meanwhile 2 am on Wednesday. And in the afternoon when I read Jenny Sawyer’s article about real gratitude, I also pondered the thought about the nice smelling beautiful rose, for which she was thankful. And she came to the awareness that it’s not things to be grateful but rather spiritual ideas God is giving us steadily! And for me, I am grateful to know God, Christ Jesus and Mrs. Eddy and their teachings for us all!
Oh and dear “J” , thank you very much indeed for the 2 articles you gave us today. they are so good and very helpful! ♡
Indeed, Uta … and in “us all”, we are united in such a universal
family, like in the wonderful artwork above – all sharing the
lovely colors and hearts, so very beautifully.
Thank you Evan and my Spiritview family and J for all the inspiring articles you share!!
Thank you Evan for all you have shared with us this year. Thanks to everyone who contributed and is still contributing in Spirit View.. I am sincerely grateful to God for the spiritual meal we find hear everyday.
When we plant spiritual seeds of Gratitude, we harvest Soul’s abundance.
I like that very much Carol! here in your statement We are in the heart of our eternal subject!
Bless u and all at SV!
Thank you Evan for SpiritView!
Listening to a podcast this morning I was reminded that Jesus thanked God first as he broke the bread… then he shared it all around to the disciples . So the message I got was when we are grateful for receiving we also need to pass it on to others.
Thank you so much, Evan, for this rich and satisfying resource of SpiritView. Thank you to all the contributors sfor your comments, hymns, articles and thoughts on all the wonderful and needed topics we are enabled to think about and pray with. May every day be a day we give thanks to God, Christ Jesus, and Mrs. Eddy for all the good there for us. Happy Thanksgiving—daily.
May your heart be filled with the blessings of angels andy ou find peace in serenity’s calm.
Many thanks to Evan for the wonderful SpiritView gift, and to the SpiritViewers who add uplifting thoughts each weekday. I look forward to the inspiring thoughts that bless and enrich my days, to continually keep my thoughts on spiritual growth.
