There’s a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in. -Leonard Cohen

This morning on the drive school my daughter put on a Halloween mix. Typically she acts like a 13 year old going on 18, yet this morning I again experienced the sweetness of her childhood by how excited she was to listen to “The Purple People Eater.” She’s helping me get in the spirit for Halloween, for which I am grateful. I encourage you to take a few minutes listening to it yourself as a fun re-set to wherever you are in your day.

This week I share a few resources from my daily reflection booklet. These quotes are centered on the concept of gratitude, which I find to be increasingly more and more important in my life and needed in our world. Hope you enjoy them, and blessings on your week ahead!

Attitude of Gratitude

Stewardship is about our need to respond with all that we are – and have – in gratitude to God. -E. Jane Rutter

Let go of the fear that holds you back from loving as God loves and being generous as God is generous. May we move beyond fear to diving generosity, too. – Dan Horan

The only meaningful response we can offer to God’s grace is to try to love others as God loves us, to return to others the blessings we have received….there’s a lot of work to do to realize the Kingdom of God in our time and place. Lets’s be grateful for what we can contribute to bringing that kingdom about. -Jay Cormier
