Day 16: Attitude of Gratitude

A Message from Pastor Ron: The wings of “Gratitude” by Delia have a positive effect on me. I see them as a smile across the sky. Volunteers are the heart of Metro CareRing, providing necessary food and smiles to those in need. They are the ones who do most of the work of serving the clients, and our Attitude of Gratitude extends to them this day. (For more information on how to become a part of this program, click here.)

St. Paul wrote to the Christians in Corinth:

“2 To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4 I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ Jesus,” 1 Corinthians: 1-4

Here’s the wild, holy, wonderful thing. The word for “giving thanks” that St. Paul used is “eucharist” from the Greek "eukharistos", meaning GRATEFUL. It is that “good gifting” that happens when the people of God, the sheep of God’s pasture gather around the table of the Lord and celebrate the perfect Passover Lamb of God.

Day 16. Dollar 16. We all have attitudes! Blessings to you this day so that you might have an Attitude of Gratitude!
