Feeling thankful?
The recognition of goodness received, often involving the awareness of how things could have gone differently. Gratitude grounds us in what is precious.
The unmet need
Awareness of what we have, not just what we lack; the ability to receive goodness without suspicion or guilt.
A question to sit with
What grace or goodness am I receiving that I take for granted? Who contributed to making this possible?
What to do right now
