Reflection

“Gratitude is a vaccine, an antidepressant, and an anti-inflammatory.” –Robert A. Emmons

Prayer

Loving God,

On World Gratitude Day, we are happy to celebrate all the many benefits that flow from a life filled with gratefulness. For the gifts you give, the blessings taken for granted, the graces that others show us and simply the joy of belonging to your good creation—we truly are thankful. Help us speak and act in ways that reflect our humble gratitude for being in this place and time, serving your good purposes and taking care of your people, and may we all be healed as a result. In mind, body, and spirit, we pray. Amen.
