Gratitude and Grace

Gratitude and grace are connected as both words come from the same ancient roots. Gratitude is like a flower rooted in the heart that seeks to blossom from within us. Grace is a state of awe that can fall upon us unexpectedly and reveal the hidden beauty and wonder of creation. The instinct to give thanks seeks moments of wholeness that help bring a sense of grace back to the world. The presence of grace brings mercy and forgiveness that can reconnect us to the underlying wholeness of life, even when everything seems to be falling apart. Thus, a genuine sense of gratitude can make things feel holy again, if only for a moment. There is an eye within the heart that sees the beauty of creation no matter what condition the world might be in. We are most human when we allow ourselves to be touched by the wonder of the world and when we feel gratitude for the life we have been given. #michaelmeade #gratitude #grace Michael Meade, D.H.L., is a renowned storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, anthropology, and psychology.
