In those moments of rapture, when we know ourselves to
be held in God’s unconditional love joy is all we know and in the numerous
moments of mundane life that depression, disappointment, worry, greed, envy,
and self-doubt over take our joy and push from our awareness God’s
unconditional love while still we are held within his arms.
Gratitude journals have become popular within
journaling communities. Some formats
provide a page for each month to be filled with moments of gratitude, others
provide a space in a weekly format to record the things we are grateful for and
still others provide a space in a daily log.
And the power of depression, disappointment, worry,
greed, envy and self-doubt to separate us from the joy of knowing ourselves
held within God’s unconditional love.
If we lived always aware of the wings upon which we
stand all of the books in the world would not be able to hold all of the
moments of gratitude of one human being in one day.
