The J♦️ encourages us towards grateful living.
Brother David Steindl-Rast tells us:
"grateful living provides an ingeniously simple gateway to living fully and joyfully. Better than anything else it can help us find our orientation and find it again every time we lose it...and grateful living starts with gratitude which arises spontaneously in us...whenever we receive something desirable as a gift"
In the everyday of the modern world, we take many things for granted. When we wake up to the many gifts life gives us we also wake up to many opportunities: the gift within the gift.
Grateful living is an orientation and an attitude which can lead to steady and calm joy. Awake, alert and well orientated with intention and meaning in our lives.
When we orientate ourself with gratitude we see the world through new eyes. Perhaps have a look at all the wonderful resources at Grateful.org
“When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love”
