Meditations on "Gratitude"

“Continued to take a personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it” – these are wise words from the founders of AA that are meant to lead us daily to a place of peace.

One day Jesus and His friends faced a huge problem.

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

This is the holiday weekend – Thanksgiving weekend.

Step Nine is about the work of peace – seeking peace and making amends.

For the past couple of days, we’ve been reflecting on the gratitude of a sinful woman who had come to Jesus and been forgiven much.

A well-known sinful woman came to a place where Jesus was eating dinner with some religious leaders of His time.

Who am I? Who do I say I am? Who do others say I am?

Forgiveness happens when a person lets go of actual violations and transgressions committed against them.

Do I matter? Does anyone notice me? Does anyone care?

When we choose to live in truth, we will have internal peace.

Each year as I look on the faces of aging war veterans I wonder what they are remembering.
