Gratitude

KENNETH S. ROSS

"Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!" sang the Psalmist; and those who have in the least experienced the healing presence and power of the Christ, Truth, as revealed in Christian Science, rejoice and praise the Giver of all good, in both their thoughts and their daily deeds.

"'This in deeds we serve the Master," proclaims a line in a beloved hymn; and true service is expressed in forgetfulness of self. In Christian Science we learn that God, who is ever present divine Mind, is continuously expressing Himself through His ideas. Man is God's highest idea or representative, and includes all right ideas. The understanding and demonstration of this fact meets our every need, everywhere, in constantly unfolding ideas of patience, courage, and purity, which increase true self-denial and the desire for growth in grace, in the way of His appointing.
