IMPORTANCE OF THANKFULNESS IN OUR LIVES
Peter John Cameron, O.P. writes of the importance of thankfulness in life:
The giving of thanks is vital to the life of faith because thanksgiving is life-giving.
Just why is it so important to give thanks?
Thanksgiving acknowledges how much we rely on others for our well-being.
Thanksgiving protects us from forgetting what matters most.
Thanksgiving saves us from taking things for granted.
Thanksgiving deepens our appreciation of our blessings.
Thanksgiving imbues us with an incomparable sense of wonder.
A spirit of thanksgiving keeps us rooted in th Eucharist - the sacrament of thanksgiving.
Anything that we are not grateful for, we lose.
