World Gratitude Day

Reflection

“Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves and spend without fear of bankruptcy.”
–Fred De Witt Van Amburgh

Prayer

Gracious God,

We will never run out of reasons to feel grateful, just as we will never run out of opportunities to express gratitude for all the incredible gifts in our lives. What a gracious mystery, that in your divine economy we can share our thanksgiving flagrantly and it is never depleted! For the people among us, for the good things in creation, for the benefits of good work done together, inspire us to express gratitude in tangible, uplifting ways. As we keep our hearts open to receiving and sharing the abundant life you have so richly poured out upon us, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Don’t be stingy today with my gratitude! Share it freely, through words and deeds that express how grateful I am for the good others bring into my life.
