Gratitude is the most natural response to even a small effort to acknowledge all that we are given, especially those of us who do not suffer from lack of basic needs. If we pause to really see the magnitude of these gifts, we will not fail to humbly offer thanks, to let the fullness in our hearts spill out as service to those in need. May we in some small way earn this blessed life by making peace in our hearts and bringing peace to those around us.
