Gratitude
Let
the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another
with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude
in your hearts to God.
Scriptural Readings:
Colossians 3, 1 Timothy 4:4, Hebrews 12:28, Colossians 2:7
Brother David Steindl-Rast has written on the subject of gratefulness and developed the website Gratefulness.org:
Gratefulness is
a universal human value
Gratefulness has the power to change and heal society
"Before going to bed, glance back over the day and ask yourself: Did I stop and allow myself to be surprised? Or did I trudge on in a daze? Was I too busy to wake up to surprise? And once I stopped, did I look for the opportunity of that moment? Or did I allow the circumstances to distract me from the gift within the gift?" Brother David Steindl-Rast
