Description
Teaching our children about the beauty of GRATITUDE also teaches them about the ugliness of ingratitude. If we aren't grateful, then are we actually UNgrateful? I know it's difficult to raise our children with this virtue when we are in a culture of increasing narcissism, selfishness, and immediate gratification. Today's episode includes a reflection from one of my favorite daily devotions: The Better Part by Fr. John Bartunek. In it, he shares Luke 17:11-19, the story of Jesus curing the 10 lepers. Only one comes back to say, "thank you". Fr. Bartunek writes: "Not to live with an attitude of gratitude towards God is more than being impolite - ingratitude is ugly because it's positively unjust. Gratitude on the other hand, is one of the most beautiful flowers in the whole garden of virtue...what a pity that it is as rare as it is lovely."
Let's build homes where gratefulness abounds.
