gratitude

Even if we gain what we covet, we may become disillusioned and made even more miserable. Envy can be traitorous.

“We must learn to give the best we have to God and others. Why? It is not just because God promises great blessings when we do, but because the meaning of our lives is found in becoming like Jesus.”

“Learning is hard and is made harder during a pandemic, but expressing thanks can help regain balance.”
