Each morning, The Daily Question arrives in my inbox from grateful.org. This site offers me a moment of pause, should I choose to accept it, to ponder, wonder, and explore gratitude. Personal reflection is one practice of grateful living that the founder, Br. David Steindl-Rast, suggests for understanding the experience of gratitude.
Three questions from August continue to wrestle with me:
What connects me to a sense of the sacred? (Aug. 31)
When I shift from problem-solving mode to approaching a situation with curiosity, what changes? (Aug. 30)
What are three simple things that bring me joy? (Aug. 21)
Your gift to the Annual Fund helps the Region support our congregations and clergy. We walk alongside as they sense the sacred, approach the future with curiosity, and recognize joy (connect, equip, and empower) as an alternative voice of the good news of God. It is one way we love and serve like Jesus.
I invite you to join Lisa and me in making a gift to the Annual Fund this fall. Thank you doesn’t begin to express my gratitude for your faithful giving in the past and today. You are a blessing.
Stay centered in God’s shalom. Peace
Rev. Michael Davison, Regional Minister
