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?

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.

GRMA 🙏🏼 Tony and my gratitude to you for this thought provoking reading.
It occurred to me when you mentioned all the galaxies that maybe when we die our Spirit and Soul go to another Galaxy and begin another life.
I cannot consider a God , the brain washing I received as a child was of a god as a male authoritative figure ready to punish and strike one down.
I am open to other ways that the Universe was created and my Supreme Power would be Nature herself. Powerful and unstoppable.
My gratitude is to my parents for conceiving of me and to this beautiful planet 🪐 Earth that gives me a home.
We have much to be grateful for from Nature and the good people around us.
🌿🙏🏼🌿

Tony, so thoughtfully examined and beautifully expressed! We are here—the world is amazing—what else could we need to feel inspired to be thankful every moment of our lives?
Thank you, Tony for this meditation!

A nice reminder in difficult times-I always look forward to your reflections Tony—thank you!

I love these short lessons of thought and reflection. Thank you 😊 🙏

Although a divine power is part of my life, I believe that gratitude for gratitude’s sake is a wonderful way to start each day. Thank you for your thoughts and guidance.

Wonderful discussion initiation Tony! May it bring relief 😮‍💨 to those struggling with this question

Thank you ! If. I don’t believe in a Hod then that makes us it! Scary! I would rather believe there is a God and find out there isn’t when the time comes ! Rather than not believing and find out there is! After all believing doesn’t hurt anything and it enriches my life ! I am also never alone this way! Thank you ! Blessings 🙏🙏🙏
