What Is Your Gratitude?

As I rested in the pause this morning, I expressed gratitude for the privilege of being still, the magnificence of the barren, still tree out my window striking newness each morning, and the awareness of the Presence of Gratitude.

Today’s Pause to
Receive Gratitude Practice

Pause, there is a Gratitude

present among us and with us.

Today, I am willing to set my self

aside – not because I am

unworthy of Gratitude, but

because it is in setting my self

aside that I am able to receive

Gratitude’s giving supplying all

of my thoughts, words, and

actions today.

I receive all Gratitude being given

me today, so that tomorrow I

truly have something to give.

received from

the presence of inner wisdom

available to us all . . .

Mary’s Pause – Day 14

Years back I dropped into our local Carmelite Monastery where all are welcome to pause and be still. I was feeling a bit depleted and in need of nourishment. I sat on the pew and whispered under my breath, “I am so grateful to be here.” Lifting my eyes to the altar, I “heard” back – that is, I felt Silence speak, “…and I Am grateful for you.” I about fell out of the pew. Not because I haven’t heard Silence speak before, but that This LOVE is grateful for me! I’m just a pion – why would All Encompassing LOVE be grateful for me? Apparently LOVE does not see us as pions!

Nourishment received as I chose to receive this Gratitude given. Tank filled. Smiling.
