Feel free to share this affirmation from A Course in Miracles with family & friends
"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 Friendhas 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."
