Let gratitude soften the spirit and make room for God’s peace.
I
May this Sunday bring you into a gentle stillness where gratitude rises above every worry, every rush, and every leftover burden from the week. May you feel God inviting you to lay down what no longer belongs on your shoulders, so grace can lift your spirit higher.
As you move through today, may the simple blessings — the quiet moments, the unexpected comfort, the small signs that appear at just the right time — remind you that God is still working in your life. Nothing is too ordinary for grace to use.
May you see the evidence of your own growth. The person you used to be is not the person standing here today. You are healing, you are evolving, and you are learning to walk with boundaries, peace, and strength. What once had power over you no longer defines you.
And may gratitude open the way for what God is preparing next. Stay open, expectant, and willing to receive the goodness being aligned for your life. Blessings are already forming in the unseen, moving toward you in perfect timing.
Love and light to all… and so it is.
