A Gratitude Examen
Gratitude is one of the greatest spiritual practices. It opens our minds, calms our hearts, and rids bitterness of it's power. The "examin" is a spiritual practice to reflect on how we have responded to God's work in our lives. This Thanksgiving, consider your own reasons for thankfulness!
What Gifts have You given me? How have I Received love from others? How is grace at work in Aspects of my life story? Do I Trust You to continue to bless me? Where have I missed Your movements? Have I used my Talents at the service of others? Do I see a purpose for my life Underway? How can I have the Discipline to thank You daily? Help me give Everything back to You?
