Gratitude for today

It was early Thanksgiving morning. I woke up feeling very ill. All I wanted to do was curl up and go back to sleep—forget putting a turkey in the oven! But the rest of my household still hadn't stirred, and I made myself get up and spend some quiet time in prayer.

I remember reading passages from the Christian Science Bible Lesson for that Thanksgiving Day. And as I did, my thoughts turned from how my body felt to how connected I was to God—and to how deep my gratitude was just for knowing that fact. With this prayer, a gentle peace gradually came over me, and by the time the sun was up, I was healed, with all symptoms gone. I put the turkey in the oven, prepared for the guests who would be joining us after church, and greeted my family feeling refreshed and truly grateful.
