As we enter into a new year, it's a perfect time to reflect on what we are grateful for and how we can grow in gratitude. Gratitude inspires us to spread goodness in the world - it is the foundation of many of the virtues - kindness, patience, gentleness, compassion, and social justice. All things our world is desperately needing.
Kim and Nuka Solomon, CEO of Free Wheelchair Mission talk about gratitude and how gratitude can be and should be continuous; that we are all truly grateful to the ultimate Giver of life and that we take what he has given us and we share that with the world...as others do the same...and from a deep humbling gratitude, we continue to give and receive. Gratitude has a rippling effect...and hopefully if done well without measuring how much we give versus how much we receive, perhaps everyone ends up with what they need.
"Grace and gratitude belong together like heaven and earth...Gratitude follows grace like thunder and lightening." - Karl Barth, Church Dogmatics
"The movement of grace toward gratitude brings us from the package of self-obsessed madness to a spiritual awakening. Gratitude is peace." - Anne Lamott
