Gratitude Glory

More From Mary Oliver

A prayerful life is the key to possessing gratitude. we often take for granted the people who most deserve our gratitude. let us not wait until it is too late for us to express our gratitude. feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. if i gratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues. to express gratitude is gracious and honorable, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live with gratitude ever in our hearts is to touch heaven.
Gratitude Heart Keys
Because gratitude is the key to happiness, anything that undermines gratitude must undermine happiness. and nothing undermines gratitude as much as expectations. there is an inverse relationship between expectations and gratitude: the more expectations you have, the less gratitude you will have.

Gratitude goes beyond the 'mine' and 'thine' and claims the truth that all of life is a pure gift. in the past i always thought of gratitude as a spontaneous response to the awareness of gifts received, but now i realize that gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. the discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all i am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy.
Thanksgiving Thankful Spiritual
We can say that true gratitude does not give rise to the debtor's ethic because it gives rise to faith in future grace. with true gratitude there is such a delight in the worth of god's past grace, that we are driven on to experience more and more of it in the future...it is done by transforming gratitude into faith as it turns from contemplating the pleasures of past grace and starts contemplating the promises of the future.
Gratitude Past Giving
Therefore bread was created for the glory of christ. hunger and thirst were created for the glory of christ. and fasting was created for the glory of christ. which means that bread magnifies christ in two ways: by being eaten with gratitude for his goodness, and by being forfeited out of hunger for god himself. when we eat, we taste the emblem of our heavenly food—the bread of life. and when we fast we say, “i love the reality above the emblem.” in the heart of the saint both eating and fasting are worship. both magnify christ.
Gratitude Heart Mean
When a man is in god's grace and free from mortal sin, then everything that he does, so long as there is no sin in it, gives god glory and what does not give him glory has some, however little, sin in it. it is not only prayer that gives god glory but work. smiting on an anvil, sawing a beam, whitewashing a wall, driving horses, sweeping, scouring, everything gives god some glory if being in his grace you do it as your duty.

Competition is for dogs and horses.
Dog Horse Competition
You got to understand the god thing. it’s not magic. it’s about being you, but the you that people believe in. it’s about being the concentrated, magnified, essence of you. it’s about becoming thunder, or the power of a running horse, or wisdom. you take all the belief and become bigger, cooler, more than human. you crystallize.” he paused. “and then one day they forget about you, and they don’t believe in you, and they don’t sacrifice, and they don’t care, and the next thing you know you’re running a three-card monte game on the corner of broadway and forty-third.

I was the lion who forced you to join with aravis. i was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. i was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. i was the lion who gave the horses the new strength of fear for the last mill so that you should reach king lune in time. and i was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you.
