STATION 3: ALL SAINTS BOOK OF GRATITUDE

Gratitude and generosity coexist within us. 

We cannot nurture one without building up the other. 

Practicing gratitude shapes our mindset about and our posture toward being in this world and working for justice. 

The practice of gratitude brings us peace and reminds us that we have enough. 

That we are enough.

Gratitude and generosity grow in an environment of faith and freedom. 

Try it:

Spend some time thinking about what you are grateful for in this moment. This practice will train you to perceive the world in terms of abundance rather than scarcity.

Meditate:

What are your grateful for?

Where do you recognize abundance in your life?
What do want to say to God in your awareness of your gratitude today?

Respond:

Feel free to express your prayers, thoughts and words of praise of gratitude for the building up of yourself and of the community.

Why this book:

We will keep this book, always adding to it, as a recording of our practice of gratitude as a community. We see this as a form of worship to God.

The hope is that as a community we will be better equipped pour out to others in need in the world from a place of abundance and joy.
