Meditations on "Gratitude"

“Practice makes perfect.” We hear that from athletes, rock stars, tradesmen, and even the guy down the street as he flies by on his longboard.

This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.

Our hearts are touched as we watch young faces on parade honour some old veterans.

I've been reflecting on "remembering" these days. My heart was touched with what King David wrote when he focused on the fact that God remembered him with loving-kindness because God was good.

One day Jesus faced a huge problem. More than 5000 people were before him and they were tired and hungry and the only resources available were five small loaves (probably bun sized pita bread) and a couple of small fish.

Practicing an attitude of gratitude – just a happy little slogan or a way of facing each day that changes everything?

Exact Nature of our Wrongs (4) What can I offer the Lord for all he has done for me?

Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.

Jesus' friend John tells us a lovely story of a rebuilt relationship.

It would be impossible for us to risk taking the first step in making amends with others had God not demonstrated the way for us.
