Living Thanksgiving - Rev. Paul Gonyea

In the deepest meaning of the word, gratitude means more than just being thankful. Most people think that thankfulness is something we express for something that just happened, or for something we just received. That’s the way much of the world sees it. But it’s also something we can express as a statement of faith about something we want to happen, or something we are ready to receive. That’s where the power of manifestation comes in. That’s the method the teacher Jesus used to accomplish all the things he accomplished. First he gave thanks, and then he made his affirmation, he made his demand on the universe. The things he did weren’t exactly miracles, in the strictest sense of the word; he was actually using a Law that any one of us can use, once we learn how to use it.
