Gratitude- God is Good!
Get used to lifting your heart to God, in acts of thanksgiving, many times a day. Because he gives you this and that. Because you have been despised. Because you haven’t what you need or because you have. Thank him for everything, because everything is good.” – St. Josemaria Escriva
We are beginning a closer look at the virtue of gratitude during morning prayer. Our theme for November is to thank God for everything. The students have an easy time thanking God. They are grateful for friends, family, freedom, school, Catholic faith, a new coat, a warm bed, etc. They are generally happy children who have wonderful families. These children have been blessed.
Yet, there are many times throughout the day that the children get their feelings hurt or they complain that life isn’t fair. The work is too hard or they just don’t feel good. These events can change their mood completely and they are not happy. They pout, because the world is not fair and they don’t think their needs are not being met. Generally, once this mood is in place, it is difficult to change their minds. There really is a simple solution to all of this despair. The answer is to look on the bright side. Realize that things could be so much worse. But unless we really practice gratitude, it is harder than we think.
Gratitude places us in the correct relationship to God. We take a step closer to God every time we recognize that God is trying to reveal Himself in certain parts of our lives. It is easy to be grateful when we win or we are having fun. It is really hard when we feel embarrassed, unworthy, unloved, disappointed or overwhelmed. That is why we are called to be grateful for our misfortunes. God is omnipotent and all good, so we trust and love Him. We praise Him. We thank Him. For everything!
God is good. All of the time. All of the time. God is good!
God Bless,
