Singing with Gratitude
January 22, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
I am grateful for the abundance that is already mine to share.
“Gee thanks”, or “Yup, that’s great.” If you find it hard to say thank you, join us this Sunday as we lean into our gratitude practice.
Gratitude is a fundamental spiritual practice. After all, if Source is all there is, it makes sense to say thank you on a regular basis. Appreciating what we have appreciates and expands what we have. This past holiday season was an opportunity to say thank you – to gifts, kindnesses, shared food, shared talents, and even shared treasure. There’s also expectation around the idea of gratitude – we may feel we aren’t being grateful enough. We may judge other people’s level of gratitude. And sometimes it’s hard to feel gratitude. Let’s take a deep look at this practice. How can we incorporate it into a daily spiritual practice?
Consistent prayer work rewards us with remembering and knowing the truth for ourselves and others. Feelings of gratitude are essential in maintaining the as if attitude.
Why express gratitude for something that has not yet manifested in our experience? Gratitude expands our faith that what we have called into being is already happening in the One Mind. Gratitude fills our consciousness, drawing to us even more reasons to be grateful.
After each time we pray it is essential that we give sincere thanks for the prayer having already been answered.
Gratitude holds the feeling tone, the vibration, of knowing that which we desire has already been given us. That it is already here.
And as we conclude our prayer by giving thanks, we are sending the very powerful message that we know our prayers have already been answered.
This is the spiritual practice of receiving and method of affirmative prayer treatment.
It’s important to declare the truth with conviction; it is even more powerful to give thanks for something that has not yet manifested. And yet, this is precisely what we are called to do.
