The Paradox of Gratitude – November 3, 2024

Science of Mind Spiritual Center Los Angeles

Loving greetings and joyous Thanksgiving wishes to you and your loved ones as you celebrate all the blessings in your lives. And please know that your presence in our spiritual family is to me a gift for which I am so deeply grateful.

Life’s journey is clearly multifaceted, interwoven as it is with pairs of opposites such as joys and sorrows. By giving ourselves quiet time for prayer and reflection, we gratefully discover that even within our challenges there is potential for inner growth. When such gratitude fills our heart, we feel what true prayer is, what Spirit’s unconditional love is. And that is why our theme of the month is “Gratitude: An Unconditional Quality of Consciousness.”

The November 3, 2024 topic is The Paradox of Gratitude. There are aspects in each of our lives for which we are grateful and those which we resist and desire to be different. Therein lies the paradox of being human! Today, we will focus on embodying the truth that in every moment, just as it is and just as we are, Spirit’s Universal Laws and Love flow through our body, mind, and spirit, supporting, uplifting, and transforming us.
