A Spirit of Gratitude
Life loses its dynamism and exuberance when everything that happens to us is viewed as a predictable result of predictable actions….. Without a spirit of gratitude, life flattens out and becomes dull and boring. But when we continue to be surprised by new manifestations of life and continue to praise and thank God and our neighbor, routine and boredom cannot take hold. Then all of life becomes a reason for saying thanks.
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
- 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18
Reflection Question: What would change if I approached even ordinary moments as reasons for thanksgiving?
