Science & Health ~ Science of Being ~ Spiritual thoughts p. 286:21
21 God's thoughts are perfect and eternal, are substance
   and Life. Material  ............  and temporal thoughts are human,
   involving error, and since God, Spirit, is the
24 only cause, they lack a divine cause. The
   temporal and material are not then creations of Spirit. 
   They are but counterfeits of the spiritual and eternal. 
27 Transitory thoughts are the antipodes of everlasting
   Truth, though (by the supposition of opposite qualities)
   error must also say, 'I am true.' But by this saying
30	  error, the lie, destroys itself.

There is nothing either good or bad,
  	but thinking makes it so.
— Shakespeare    intro to SH iii:4
GOOD.  God; Spirit; omnipotence;  ............  omniscience; om-
  	nipresence; omni-action.               Glossary SH 587

		The Divine Being must be reflected by man, — else
  	man is not the image and likeness of the patient,
  	tender, and true, the One 'altogether lovely;' but to
15	understand God is the work of eternity, and demands
  	absolute consecration of thought, energy, and desire. 

Prayerful ingratitude
  	    How empty are our conceptions of Deity! We admit
18	theoretically that God is good, omnipotent, omni-
  	present, infinite, and then we try to give
  	information to this infinite Mind. We plead
21	for unmerited pardon and for a liberal outpouring of
  	benefactions. Are we really grateful for the good
  	already received? Then we shall avail ourselves of the
24	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. 
27	    If we are ungrateful for Life, Truth, and Love, and
  	yet return thanks to God for all blessings, we are in-
  	sincere and incur the sharp censure our Master pro-
30	nounces on hypocrites. In such a case, the only
  	acceptable prayer is to put the finger on the lips and
  	remember our blessings. While the heart is far from
 1	divine Truth and Love, we cannot conceal the ingrati-
  	tude of barren lives.                  SH  Prayer 3:12

Lamentations 3 (1)
22 [It is of] the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 [They are] new every morning: great  ............  [is] thy faithfulness.
24 The LORD [is] my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The LORD [is] good to them that wait for him, to the soul [that] seeketh him.
26 [It is] good that [a man] should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

THE APPEARANCES OF JESUS - Concluded
The risen Jesus and Peter
John 21:1-14 - Later on (after Jesus had appeared to 'doubting' Thomas), Jesus showed himself again to his  ............  disciples on the shore of Lake Tiberias (the Sea of Galilee), and he did it in this way. Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael (also known as Bartholomew) from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee (James and John) and two other disciples were together, when Simon Peter said, 'I'm going fishing.'
'All right,' they replied, 'we'll go with you.'
So they went out and got into the boat and during the night caught nothing at all. But just as dawn began to break, Jesus stood there on the beach, although the disciples had no idea that it was Jesus.
'Have you caught anything, lads?' Jesus called out to them.
'No,' they replied.
'Throw the net on the right side of the boat,' said Jesus, 'and you'll have a catch.'
So they threw out the net and found that they were now not strong enough to pull it in because it was so full of fish! At this, the disciple that Jesus loved (John) said to Peter, 'It is the Lord!'
Hearing this, Peter slipped on his clothes, for he had been naked, and plunged into the sea The other disciples followed in the boat, for they were only about a hundred yards from the shore, dragging in the net full of fish. When they had landed, they saw that a charcoal fire was burning, with a fish placed on it, and some bread. Jesus said to them, 'Bring me some of the fish you've just caught.'
So Simon Peter got into the boat and hauled the net ashore full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three altogether (the number of known types of fish in the Sea of Galilee or the world according to one of the various traditions). But in spite of the large number the net was not torn.
Then Jesus said to them, 'Come and have your breakfast.'
None of the disciples dared to ask him who he was; they knew it was the Lord.
Jesus went and took the bread and gave it to them and gave them all fish as well. This is already the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples after his resurrection from the dead.

The last breakfast – Science & Health by Mary Baker Eddy
Atonement & Eucharist 34:29-18

		What a contrast between our Lord's last supper and
30	his last spiritual breakfast with his disciples	
  	in the bright morning hours at the joyful
  	meeting on the shore of the Galilean Sea! His gloom
 1	had passed into glory, and his disciples' grief into repent-
  	ance, — hearts chastened and pride rebuked. Convinced
 3	of the fruitlessness of their toil in the dark and wakened
  	by their Master's voice, they changed their methods, turned
  	away from material things, and cast their net on the right
 6	side. Discerning Christ, Truth, anew on the shore of
  	time, they were enabled to rise somewhat from mortal
  	sensuousness, or the burial of mind in matter, into new-
 9	ness of life as Spirit. 
  	    This spiritual meeting with our Lord in the dawn of a
  	new light is the morning meal which Christian Scientists
12	commemorate. They bow before Christ, Truth, to re-
  	ceive more of his reappearing and silently to commune
  	with the divine Principle, Love. They celebrate their
15	Lord's victory over death, his probation in the flesh
  	after death, its exemplification of human probation, and
  	his spiritual and final ascension above matter, or the flesh,
18	when he rose out of material sight.
