Peter Caligiuri (Florida, USA)
He prostrated himself at Jesus’s feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. - Luke 17:16 (NRSVUE)
On a recent trip, I noticed that instead of being thankful, I was complaining. The bed was hard (but it was clean); the air conditioner was loud (but it worked well); the hotel breakfast was skimpy (but someone prepared it for me). I asked God to forgive my ungrateful attitude...
Giving thanks, even when I don’t feel grateful, teaches me gratitude.
