Meditations on "Gratitude"

This love recognizes the gifts that God gives each person, and our need for one another, so we can be complete

As we give to God and to others, God promises that we will receive back what we have given abundantly multiplied

Because of God’s unfailing love for us, we can look at our past with eyes wide open.

A renewed conscience clearly indicates what is morally right and good and gives warning when we are straying into wrongdoing.

As long as we are living and breathing, there is hope for us today.

The more often we make the choice to do things God’s way, the more often we will see that it was exactly the right thing to do at that time.

We are growing in our faith that God’s ways are good and are seeking His guidance before we act.

As we give our will and our life over to His care, one day at a time, one moment at a time, God promises to heal us and give us a life that is truly satisfying

Within each personal story of the journey from bondage to freedom is the power of the Gospel to save those who are lost.

The fact is, Jesus came to save us and obeyed the plan of His Father even to death on a cross.

Let’s fill this season with direction and meaning as we include Jesus in our thoughts and activities today, and every day.

Just like it was for Mary, this ordinary day may become a not-so-ordinary day if we are willing to embrace God’s plan for our lives and allow God to work in us.
