Can I make gratitude into a sacrifice? Can I offer up thanks even in the face of frustration and lack?
Let it be so. Let me dig for gratitude, even as I am assailed, even as my rivals best me, even as I am pushed to the sides and forgotten.
To give thanks under all conditions, this is to be my devotion, Lord.
Let gratitude blossom from me like a lotus from mud.
(Letter #1,663)
