Gratitude
I am grateful for the people and experiences in my life.
When I consider the many people who have helped me in my life, I am deeply grateful. Family, friends, teachers and colleagues--each has taught me something about life and myself.
I consider the profound blessing of these people and the difference they have made for me. I open my heart to a simple prayer of gratitude by speaking their names or visualizing their faces. I bless each one.
Next I turn to look at the events of my life and bless each situation for the lessons learned and the wisdom gained.
I am grateful for love given and received and for the rich experiences of this life's journey.
"I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you."--Philippians 1:3-4
