I've been keeping a running list of sites that report the often unreported - the good news. This is news about people's benevolence, progress, and breakthroughs. In this list, you'll find stories about how kitchen grease is being used as car fuel, how muppets are teaching children a lesson in land mines, how to shop to support AIDS research and how to understand the freeing force of gratitude.
The world is a good place. Love, in all its various forms, is what makes life worth living. We swim in this stuff and are nurtured and emboldened by all those things that are GOOD.
- Good news from Gratefulness.org
- Good Magazine
- Good News Network International
- And here is just one of the millions of ways to do some innovative good by becoming an international financier: KIVA
And in a category of its own, The Christian Science Monitor. It is not only good news, but presents all the news - devoid of sensationalism but alert to the roots of healing that are possible in even the most dire of all sitations. Its mission "to injure no man but to bless all mankind" takes no naive or one sided view of the world, but faces it square on with integrity, balance and thoroughness. No wonder it has won seven Pulitzers!
Take a look around you. There is so much good, and so much we can do to contribute to that good. And finally, a Bible lesson site for Thanksgiving. Mary Baker Eddy asks:
Are we really grateful for the good already received? Then we shall avail ourselves of the blessings we have, and thus be fitted to receive more. Gratitude is much more
than a verbal expression of thanks. Action expresses more gratitude than speech.
Check out this spirituality.com's Thanksgiving Bible lesson -- all about giving thanks.
