In God I find a precious gift
That knows no fear, no feud,
That glows so still, serene and pure:
The gift of gratitude.
(Christian Science Hymnal, No. 146)
Gratitude is one of the most precious gifts that can be bestowed upon us, for when it fills our hearts, mountains of fear and doubt are removed in the twinkling of an eye. It was the greatest contributing factor in a healing I experienced two years ago when my car was struck, completely wrecked, and I was thrown out on the pavement, landing on my head and back.
