A Good Word: Gratitude and Grace

14 10 2009

IMG_1279“The foremost quality of a trusting disciple is gratefulness. Gratitude arises from the lived perception, evaluation, and acceptance of all of life as grace—as an undeserved and unearned gift from the Father’s hand. Such recognition is itself the work of grace, and acceptance of the gift is implicitly an acknowledgement of the Giver.” (Brennan Manning. Ruthless Trust. San Francisco: HarperSanFrancisco, 2000, p. 24-25.)

Why not take a few moments right now to allow God’s Spirit to remind of the reasons you have right now to say, “Thank You”?
