Prayer – Edward Hays – Quote of the Week

November 24, 2012 By Jean Wise



Grant me daily the grace of gratitude,


to be thankful for all my many gifts,


and so be freed from artificial needs,


that I might lead a joyful, simple life.


Edward Hays

    Hi Joanne, I really don’t understand why Disqus sometimes acts goofy but I know it does at times. Glad you liked the quote – I know I did too. Have a wonderful week!

    Hi Chris, good to hear from you. You and I have the same evening prayer. When I first decided to find something to be grateful for each night I thought I would have a difficult time finding one thing some days. But have been so wrong. when I review the day, I see God over and over again. So much to be thankful for, even on the tough days.

    I wrote a comment and the Disqus refused to let me post w/o going to FB or somewhere, so I did. overall, this was a great post for my present-day situation. Knowing our earth is “sand” forever and heaven is “ROCK” makes all the difference in our lives.

    Thanks.

    Hi Jean:
    One of my nightly tasks after I meditate and have my conversation with MY God is to find something to be grateful for. I don’t get into bed until I find at least one thing and I send up my gratitude to HIM.

    I think it is so important to be grateful every night for something, anything.

    Thank you for this reminder tonight, Jean.

    I snapped the photo at a retreat center last March. I know several stores carry this saying but not in this style. I tried to google it in this format for you but didn’t see it. Though there are some really nice presentation of this quote. great saying, isn’t it? Wish I practiced it more but still trying.
