Lent Reflections Week 4: Gratitude

One of the greatest gifts that my Unitarian spirituality has given me is increased gratitude. I appreciate the beauty of everyday life more. Every day I am grateful to be alive and well on this beautiful earth.

A gratitude jar is a lovely way to practice gratitude. A couple of years ago a member of Chorlton Unitarians led a letting go service on a Friday evening once a month and invited participants to contribute to a gratitude jar - writing what we were grateful for on pieces of paper and adding them to the jar. At the end of the year we opened the jar and read all the pieces of paper. What a wonderful reminder of the precious gift that is life!
