"Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone."
~ GB Stern ~
In some ways, it's much easier to give than to receive, and yet, receiving is an art we must master, especially this time of year. Being gracious and appreciative of whatever we are given is important, because thoughtfulness and generosity of all kinds and in all ways deserves our recognition; and we are less entitled to goodness than we may think.
So let's receive with sincerity and express out thanks for every kindness that is shown us, whether it be large, or small.
I lovingly receive what's given me, and feel the grace of genuine appreciation.
