“Attention is the purest
and rarest form of generosity.” –Simone Weil
“To get the full value of joy
you must have someone to divide it with.” –Mark Twain
"The root of joy is gratefulness... It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful." - Brother David Steindl-Rast
"Let us
give thanks today,
For the
wonder
Of God’s
love poured out,
For the
beauty of Christ’s life given.
For the
joy of salvation received....
Let us
give thanks today,
For the
abundance of provision shared,
For the
richness of friendship enjoyed.
For the
delight of friends and strangers.....
Let us
give thanks today,
For seeds
sown in darkness,
For glimmers
of faith in the midst of doubt,
For a
shining light at the end of the tunnel.....
Let us
give thanks today,
For the
glory of God
In every thought, in every deed, in every
moment.
Let us
give thanks today for God."
-Christine Sine
Dear God, you
are constantly coming to your people even when we fail to see you.
In each
and every moment that we are blessed to see you here and now,
give us
courage to leap with joy at your coming.
Amen.
