Rev. Liz's Talk: "More than Gratitude" 🙌
Dear Beloved One,
What if gratitude isn’t about pretending everything is wonderful? What if it’s about becoming willing to notice what is already here?
Our minds are quite good at asking the question, “What’s wrong?” But what happens when we ask a different question: “What is here?” What beauty have we overlooked? What relationships, moments, gifts or possibilities have become so familiar that we no longer notice them?
We often look for miracles in the big moments—births, weddings, breakthroughs, answered prayers. But what about an ordinary Tuesday? The morning light. A familiar voice. A favorite song. A good laugh. A warm cup of coffee. Someone remembering your name.
Join us this Sunday as we explore gratitude more as a spiritual practice of noticing—the practice of recognizing Divine Life expressing through the ordinary moments of our lives. Come discover the gifts that may be quietly present all along. You may even leave with a new question to carry with you: What is here that I haven’t noticed yet?
With great gratitude and love always,
Rev. Liz
