Epiphany Series 2020: Gratitude
Gifts bring forth gratitude, and we express our appreciation by passing gifts on to others. When we share gifts, we become benefactors toward the well-being of all…gratitude is not a transaction of debt and duty. Rather, gratitude is a spiritual awareness and a social structure of gift and response. –Gratitude by Diana Butler Bass As we transition from the Christmas season of gift-giving into a new year, we are invited to consider our response to gifts, our expressions of gratitude. How can we dig deeper into our spiritual awareness of the gifts in our lives? Let us experience this season of gratitude together.
