The ABC’s of gratitude
The sun was shining. The sky was bright blue. But something wasn’t right. My head was hurting, and that was turning a good day into a bad one.
But wait! I remembered from my Christian Science Sunday School class that I could pray. I’d learned there are lots of different ways of praying. I could start with all the good things I knew about God. I could ask God for help. I could be grateful.
Be grateful? When my head was hurting? That seemed like a funny thing to do.
