===Lesson===
Tonight we shall speak, at your request, of [[Gratitude]]. Gratitude is the official [[decree]] of the offices of The
[[Most Highs]]. Gratitude is a [[love]] turned back on itself, Love brought full circle and, like the dainty dish in
your nursery rhyme, “set before the King.” To be grateful is to never tire of the banquet constantly
before you, whether this or that particular dish is to your liking or not. All the dishes serve their [[purpose]]
in your education and make-up, and all will eventually be appreciated “in the fullness of time.” Gratitude
fortifies you with the proper [[attitude]] to appreciate them all. For they have all been, like them or not,
prepared with the same [[attention]] to detail and care.

Gratitude is the single most important element in the pursuit of [[perfection]] of [[Spirit]], the most basic [[Truth]]
in the pantheon of truths relevant to a human life. Remember, the only thing missing from an approach
to living bereft of [[joy]] and [[satisfaction]] is Gratitude. Grateful is as grateful does. It’s the one element
essential to mirroring back [[Heaven]] to earth, [[Parent]] to child, [[Spirit]] to human. It’s like the rippleless water
reflecting the sky above it. The sky brings the water; the water reveals the sky to itself. This is Love and
Love’s life in the world. Spirit says, “I love you”; Gratitude says, “and this is your portrait, my version of
this gift you have given.”

Gratitude is the basis for a [[balance]]d life for it brings together all of its elements, bringing God’s love
back around and completing the [[circuit]]. And this circuit brings Life to life. Gratitude is as necessary as air
or food or water. It is the other half of each of these.
