Reflection

"When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude."  ~ G.K. Chesterton

Prayer

Glorious God,

Open our eyes to receive each day not with assumption, but with deep gratitude. In the sacred work of caring for others, keep us mindful that every patient, every colleague, and every moment is a gift entrusted to our care. When routine dulls our awareness or fatigue tempts us to take life for granted, renew in us a thankful heart. May our gratitude overflow into compassionate service, honoring the dignity and preciousness of every life we encounter. In gratitude, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Take a few moments today to reflect on the things in my life for which I am most grateful. Give God my thanks.
