World Day of Gratitude

Reflection

“I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness—it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.” –Brené Brown

Prayer

Generous God,

As we recognize World Day of Gratitude today, we pray that all people might be inspired to embrace this tried-and-true recipe: awareness combined with gratitude is a powerful prescription for happiness! Grateful attention can redirect so many of our engagements in healthy directions, so long as we commit to its practice. Help us to do so today and each day, that we might continue to find ordinary moments of happiness all around us. As one human family before you, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Be on the lookout today for a colleague whose spirit could use uplifting. Share a sincere word of gratitude to them for something I’ve noticed them doing that supports our work together.
