“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
If today…the day after….. finds you unexpectedly welcoming the unexpected – some bit of chaos or confusion…may you live aware of the power of renewed hope fueled by amazing grace and gratitude; humbled by what is unseen, and carried by love’s forgiveness and redemption.
Gratitude leads….always has…always will. Shall we practice scandalous gratitude despite the unexpecteds that might have found their way to our kitchens and to our hearts? Shall we rebel against self absorbed fears and our often massive insecurities and simply practice gratitude for what truly has been, for what is, and what shall be?
Peace to you….
