Gratitude Beyond Belief

A thought for you to ponder: If an entity that we call God is responsible for existence, it would only be common politeness to express our gratitude. But if nothing whatever is responsible for us being here, then isn’t our existence even more astounding, and doesn’t this give rise to an even greater call to us to be grateful?

Huge topic. I don't believe in a God and I am not sure of a higher power. But I am grateful every day to be part of this perfectly imperfect world. The older I get the more I am filled with awe and love and wonder. 💕 I am.so happy to be part of it all for a little while.

Thank you Tony! I appreciate your wisdom. Yours, Mary (on the other side of the pond)

Tony, this is an incredible meditation. I often stare with wonder at God’s creation…from stunning natural beauty of landscapes, animals, tiny fingernails and toes or a newborn baby, gray hair as it creeps into my being…God is everywhere! Thank you for sharing this!!

This was a great reminder to be truly grateful for all the many blessings I enjoy. Thank you for your gentle reminder and beautiful words

Well now, God can be a bit of a sticky wicket for me. I often vassilate between acceptance and investigation. I mostly choose to no longer ask the questions but rather believe that there are truly Greater Powers in the Universe that I probably am incapable of understanding. Is that God? Maybe so. But Gratitude is something I experience daily in all the complex and simple ways. I’m grateful for love of others, my morning meditation and tea, for the sunshine and a warm breeze. I don’t think How things come into my life is a necessity in being grateful for them. Will I appreciate love more knowing or believing the How when love has arrived at my door? Is it enough for me to accept and appreciate my dear partner? Yes, for that is love in gratitude or gratitude in love.
