A Thankful Heart
“Always rejoice. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus towards you.”1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Reflection
Thanksgiving is not denial of what is hard; it is the discipline of also naming what is good. Gratitude re-trains the eyes to see the steady, ordinary mercies we had stopped noticing.
A prayer
Generous God, You give and give and give again. Thank You for breath, for bread, for the people who love me, and for Your patience with me. Make me a grateful person, not only when life is easy, but as a settled habit of the heart. Amen.
