Gratitude

“Give thanks in all circumstances. Joy is hidden here. Let that not stay just an idea — let it become the breath you take next.”

“Open 1 Thessalonians 5:18 slowly tonight. Read it as if it were a letter sent across centuries to find you, on this very page, in this very ache.”

“St. Ignatius of Loyola knew this ground by name. They are not far from you. Their prayer, on the other side of glory, is praying you forward.”

“You do not have to resolve gratitude tonight. Staying here, in His company, choosing to be honest — that is already the beginning of healing.”
