After my last post on giving thanks as a spiritual experiment, I got the following e-mail from my colleague, Joe Kutter, which I share with his permission:
“It has for years been a part of my prayer discipline to name 5 things daily for which I am grateful. I really think that this discipline of gratitude has kept me sane or restored sanity during some difficult seasons.
“And then, there are those seasons when my lower lip droops and my soul is dark and I look up and notice that I’ve neglected the discipline.”
Worth noting.
