Gratitude

Melody Beattie once said:
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
If can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Sometimes we struggle with gratitude. Our society has created a sense of earning things ourselves and being rightfully entitled to them. We tend to take so much for granted. Perhaps that is why we see so much confusion and chaos, anxiety and worry. During this month that leads up to Thanksgiving, we have a chance to work on our sense of gratitude. May that gratitude make sense of our past, bring us peace for today and give us a vision for tomorrow.
