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

Write down three specific things you're grateful for today and why they matter. Thank someone who made one of these possible.
