Reflection

“Writing down one thing you are grateful for each day is the cheapest possible therapy ever.”

Prayer

Gracious giver,

As we extend your compassionate ministry to others today, invigorate our hearts with gratitude. Inspire our many acts of service—both big and small—with the joy of self-giving love. And rather than wait for an emotional swell to spring up, teach us the wisdom of a disciplined habit of gratitude. May we count our many blessings deliberately, reminding each other of the many gifts we have the privilege of possessing together. Presence and time, creativity and humor, a form of work that has purpose and brings healing to others. With gratitude for all these good gifts, may we choose to be a blessing to others today. Amen.

Call to Action

If my attitude begins to suffer today, take a few moments to pause, breathe, and count my blessings. Reframe my emotions by choosing to live in gratitude.
