Meditations on "Gratitude"

Having admitted the exact nature of our wrongs and accepted complete forgiveness from God brings us to the place where we are free indeed.

“Continued to take a personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it” – these are wise words from the founders of AA that are meant to lead us daily to a place of peace.

One day Jesus and His friends faced a huge problem.

Practicing an attitude of gratitude – just a happy little slogan or a way of facing each day that changes everything?

Forgiveness happens when a person lets go of actual violations and transgressions committed against them.

Do I matter? Does anyone notice me? Does anyone care?

When we choose to live in truth, we will have internal peace.
