Living With Gratitude

For Christians, grace leads to gratitude.  When I experience a genuinely gracious person, their faith life rarely fails to be inspirational.

If, in your life, you read only one more article about Tim Tebow, the quarterback for the Denver Broncos, I hope that it is this one: http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/7455943/believing-tim-tebow

Rick Reilly describes well a person—who happens to play football—seeking to live a meaning-filled life.

As you think about your own life today, I encourage you to reflect on these words from Martin Luther King, Jr.:

“I may not be the man I want to be;
I may not be the man I ought to be;
I may not be the man I could be;
I may not be the man I can be;
but praise God, I'm not the man I once was.”

With blessings,
Pastor Craig

P.S.  When I was thinking about faith and gratitude for Sunday, I ran across two websites, both of which were inspirational in different ways.  One was called  “My Gratitude Life:  Being Grateful For What You Have” (http://mygratitudelife.wordpress.com/).  The other is called “Gratefulness” (http://www.gratefulness.org/).   Spend a little time focusing only on positive kinds of energy.  It’s a good reminder of what God has done for us.
