Being thankful

"In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more
than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes
rich."
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer

After this holiday season, it may seem like we have given a great deal
to others. And perhaps in return, you were fortunate enough to be on
the receiving end as well.

In addition to all sorts of wonderful material presents, there is much
more that we receive everyday that we should remember and for which we
should be grateful. Remember the love and kindness we receive each day
from those closest to us as well as the gentle strangers passing
through our lives.

It is through these reminders on a daily basis that we truly can
appreciate how rich we are no matter what our financial situation is at
present.
