Gratitude

Reflection

“To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived, that is to have succeeded.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Prayer

Gracious God, each day we hear of the spike in Coronavirus cases. We hear of concerns about the spread of the disease as we approach the holiday season. Some suggest the surge is due to easing up on restrictions and forgetting to take appropriate precautions to battle this dangerous disease. But Lord, we must also not forget how much we owe to those on the front lines who serve and sacrifice each day to care for the ill and to keep everyone healthy and safe. Even as times change, may we always remember the debt of gratitude we owe to those on the front lines extending the compassionate care of Jesus to all people they encounter. With gratitude we pray. Amen.

Call to Action
