Day 17: Making Grace a way of Life

In the past, feelings of grace may have been rare and fleeting. In today's meditation, we explore go beyond the mere behaviour and attitude of gratitude and let gratitude and grace become our way of being and living in the world.

To make the blessing permanent, we need to establish gratitude as a habit, so that it becomes your default mode of communication with others. When gratitude is the natural way you approach life, it is no longer activity you are trying to remember.

Gratitude is simply how you express who you are and how you feel. Practicing gratitude naturally and invisibly becomes a life we live in a state of grace.

Our centering thought for today is:

Grace is perfect even when my life isn't.

"All that we have and don't have is a Grace

~ Mac MacKenzie
