World Gratitude Day

Reflection

"Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul." - Henry Ward Beecher

Prayer

Gracious God,
You teach us that gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul, and we pause to recognize the countless gifts of your presence in our lives. In the midst of our work in healthcare, open our eyes to the quiet blessings found in each moment of care, each act of kindness, and each life entrusted to us. Shape our hearts to be thankful even in challenge, trusting that you are always at work bringing healing and hope. May gratitude grow within us like a living flower, softening our words, guiding our actions, and drawing us closer to you and to one another. In gratitude, we pray. Amen.
