Give one thing more, a grateful heart."
-- George Herbert, Gratefulness
We have more reasons to be grateful than we have ability to be thankful. We need God to give us grateful hearts. All that we have been given can only be enjoyed by the gift of gratitude. And even our gratefulness needs help. We do not give as much honor and respect as He gives grace and mercy. And so, we pray even for more mercy — mercy for the inadequacy of our humility. We beg for the grace to be more grateful. We do not need more for which to be grateful as much as we need to be more grateful for what we already have been given. We need greater gratitude. We need… greatertude. May we go forward with grit and grititude in making it our aim to be more grateful and finding ever increasing reasons to beg for gratitude to keep up with God's generosity.
