Reflect
People sometimes think, “We worked hard. We earned it. We deserved it.” In fact, everything we have is a gift from God. No one can control what’s most important, like our own health and that of our loved ones. We often receive far more than we deserve.
Pray
God of forgiveness,
on days when it seems
there’s nothing to be grateful for,
help us appreciate
breath and life,
water, trees and sky.
Show us again our welcome
into the heart
of your Son,
where we are always
at peace,
forgiven,
spacious
and calm. Amen.
Act
Start a gratitude jar, placing change in it whenever you feel grateful. Then when the jar is full, donate the money to charity with a grateful heart.
