I thank my Father for His gifts to me.
Today let us be thankful. We have come to gentler pathways and to
smoother roads. There is no thought of turning back, and no implacable
resistance to the truth. A bit of wavering remains, some small objections
and a little hesitance, but you can well be grateful for your gains, which are
far greater than you realize.
A day devoted now to gratitude will add the benefit of some insight into the
real extent of all the gains which you have made; the gifts you have
received. Be glad today, in loving thankfulness, your Father has not left you
to yourself, nor let you wander in the dark alone. Be grateful He has saved
you from the self you thought you made to take the place of Him and His
creation. Give Him thanks today.
Give thanks that He has not abandoned you, and that His Love forever will
remain shining on you, forever without change. Give thanks as well that you
are changeless, for the Son He loves is changeless as Himself. Be grateful
you are saved. Be glad you have a function in salvation to fulfill. Be
thankful that your value far transcends your meager gifts and petty
judgments of the one whom God established as His Son.
Today in gratitude we lift our hearts above despair, and raise our thankful
eyes, no longer looking downward to the dust. We sing the song of
thankfulness today, in honor of the Self that God has willed to be our true
Identity in Him. Today we smile on everyone we see, and walk with
lightened footsteps as we go to do what is appointed us to do.
We do not go alone. And we give thanks that in our solitude a Friend has
come to speak the saving Word of God to us. And thanks to you for
listening to Him. His Word is soundless if it be not heard. In thanking Him
the thanks are yours as well. An unheard message will not save the world,
however mighty be the Voice that speaks, however loving may the message
be.
Thanks be to you who heard, for you become the messenger who brings His
Voice with you, and lets It echo round and round the world. Receive the
thanks of God today, as you give thanks to Him. For He would offer you the
thanks you give, since He receives your gifts in loving gratitude, and gives
them back a thousand and a hundred thousand more than they were given.
He will bless your gifts by sharing them with you. And so they grow in
power and in strength, until they fill the world with gladness and with
gratitude.
Receive His thanks and offer yours to Him for fifteen minutes twice today.
And you will realize to Whom you offer thanks, and Whom He thanks as
you are thanking Him. This holy half an hour given Him will be returned to
you in terms of years for every second; power to save the world eons more
quickly for your thanks to Him.
Receive His thanks, and you will understand how lovingly He holds you in
His Mind, how deep and limitless His care for you, how perfect is His
gratitude to you. Remember hourly to think of Him, and give Him thanks
for everything He gave His Son, that he might rise above the world,
remembering his Father and his Self.
