A passage by Emma Easton Newman in We Knew Mary Baker Eddy caught my attention recently. In expressing her thoughts about some friends coming for dinner, Mary Baker Eddy remarked upon greeting them, “How good God is to give me this pleasure!” (p. 98). I was struck by Mrs. Eddy’s explicit gratitude to God for something so simple. This got me to think about gratitude. Am I always grateful to God first for the good in my life? In talking about this with my Sunday School class, we agreed we’re often grateful to God for healings, but not necessarily for the everyday things. I have been cherishing what Mrs. Eddy demonstrated in that passage, acknowledging God directly for the simplest experiences. Camp is an opportunity to learn more about our relationship to God and to see and experience God as the source of good in our lives. We witness God’s provision of strength, joy, courage, friendship, home, harmony, inspiration, love and so much more. With this enriched understanding, I now recognize the importance of expanding the expression of thanks to include all the good we receive from God. I look forward to another camp season of actively growing together in our understanding of God. “How good God is to give me this pleasure!”
