Gratitude

           

            Every life on earth is sacred and so one way to honour the sacredness of life is to be “Grateful,”- grateful to God, to our own self, and to others. Grateful to God, because he is the giver of life, grateful to oneself, because to honour life, we must start with our own self and then only we can honour life in others.

            We need to be grateful to God for everything, even for the air we breathe and the water we drink. For each new day we must be grateful to Him. Terri Guillemets says, “As each day comes to us refreshed and new, so does my gratitude renew itself daily. The breading of the sun over the horizon is my grateful heart downing upon a blessed world.” So let us renew our gratitude daily and live our lives more meaningfully.

Celebration

            Life is boring if we fail to celebrate it. We do not have to wait for a birthday, a holiday or for any other feast but we need to learn to celebrate this very moment. What is celebration? Martha Washington says, “Think of the magic of that foot, comparatively small, upon which your whole weight rests. It is a miracle, and the dance is a celebration of that miracle.” So let us not wait for an extra ordinary thing to happen in our lives but celebrate each and every moment of our lives.
