"Are we really grateful for the good already received?
Then we shall avail ourselves of the blessings we have, and thus be fitted to receive more. Gratitude is much more than a verbal expression of thanks. Action expresses more gratitude than speech. " [S. & H. 3:22-26]

Thanksgiving ...

" Enter  into  His  gates  with  thanksgiving,  and  into His courts with  praise:  Be  thankfull  unto  Him  and  bless  His  name. " [ Psalm 100:4 ]
I am thinking, what it means to " give thanks ".
Give thanks for all the goodness which is already established, because GOD is good, absolute good, divine good, spiritual good, infinite good, immortal, impersonal good ?
And for the fact that this is the same good, we all are able to think, to say,  to do, to live and to give ?
Mrs. Eddy mentioned in her Book: Science & Health: That the word GOD is coming primary from the word good, so lets think of GOD as GOOD; the one and only GOOD. Isn´t it interessting to look through the bible with this in thought and then replace eyerywhere GOD is mentioned with GOOD. Then immediatly GOD [ GOOD ] is more closer to us and not longer neither a person nor far off us.
